AFL Rd 23 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs West Coast in Perth

[ElwoodBlues1]

Its all relative though.

Yes, they have some good forwards, and we have some decent backs.

They have some decent backs and we have no forwards.

Even if we 'break even' in our defence. We will lose the forward battle.
Relying on a guy who hasn't played a game, and a guy who is a midfielder first and foremost (i am a fan of him playing forward BTW).....and is carrying an ankle injury......is NOT a winning strategy.

Not sure our backs are that decent, its a mess back there and not so much due to injuries.
I agree relying on newbies and players playing out of position isnt much of a strategy but we dont have a lot to work with and a few innovative moves is about all we have to surprise WC with.
Im also relying on WC not being great themselves, if we were playing a decent team we would be hammered this week.
It appears Don Pyke will be the new WC coach or maybe Hinkley in a surprise so Im hoping Schofield has checked out and isnt too bothered about strategies or over thinking how to stretch us..
