We've got half a list and it's a crapshoot, nobody can tell what is going to happen.
Head nerd Hoyne makes the prediction of doom so he can go the "I told you so", if we win he'll claim "Carlton did what he suggested we needed to", I'm sure it gives him the warm Nostradamus feeling, but the report is little more than "They need to score more points than the opposition to win!" This is old school Caro and Flubbo tactics.
What would be impressive is if one of the nerds come out before the game and predicted something very specific, like which players will star or flop on the day, and how a club will finish up ahead or behind on various team stats! But I'm cynical, in that they'd probably tell us Walsh will cover more ground than his opponents, or Cripps will get most contested possessions.
