AFL Rd 19 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne

[crashlander]

I replied to [member=58]crashlander[/member] in fairness to the MC, if not now when, we are playing a bottom side this week, if they needed to get a look at the problems now is probably the best time to put them on display, the Wet Toast in Perth might be another but that is late in the season at Rnd 22.

Fans assume omissions are about bad form, players getting "Dropped", but it's just as likely a week off for some with the MC signalling to those on the fringe now is the time to prove your worth.

The hypothetical,

"If you can't do it this week against a bottom side, how can we trust you to perform against finalists?"

I do understand your thinking, but playing with your form can be lethal. It has happened to us too often in the past. It has also happened to other teams this year. If you underestimate an opponent, you may live to regret it. It is why I always want us to go for the throat. Winning form is good form.
