AFL Rd 21 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[ElwoodBlues1]

Only 5 players missing from pies 2023 premiership team.
Mihocek - Pec (8-10 weeks)
Mitchell - Foot (TBC)
Markov - Omitted last week "Personal reasons" ??
Ginnivan - Hawthorn
Murphy - Retired

In their place...
Noble - Played 23 H+A games in 2023, dropped for finals
McStay - Missed GF due to getting Injured in the prelim
Schultz - Fremantle
Long - Hawthorn
Bytel - St. Kilda

So, on paper.....they are about as strong as they could be as well.....yet are horribly out of form.....like us.....but we are odds on favourites???

McStay doesnt fit with their system imo and Mihocek is a big loss.
Schultz has been a fail
Long is a ordinary player who Hawks flicked.
Bytel...see Long
Noble...good footballer
DeGoey wont be fit and might be a last minute out

I think we have them well covered and Martin might have a good impact like he usually does first up after injury and we deserve to strong favourites...
