AFL Rd 24 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St. Kilda

[ElwoodBlues1]

Rather than contested marks, Membrey has the knack of losing his defender and marking unopposed.  Stopping that is a team defence concern.

If we can get our team defence right, Young focuses on intercept marks and/or killing the ball in contested marking situations.  Weitering then gets to concentrate on organising the defence and setting up our transition.

Our forward line, sans Charlie and Harry, is still far more potent than St Kilda’s.

Hill is a spent force but we do need to curtail Wanganeen-Milera’s run out of defence.  The best way to do that is to make sure he’s got a genuine forward threat to worry about and Elijah Hollands can do that in spades.  And that should be the key to the game; despite missing Charlie, Harry, Tom, Fog, et al, our 23 is better than their 23 … provided that we play to our potential.

Membrey takes a lot of marks with his jump off two feet style and is a good competitor for a forward.
Hill has been in decent form and while wont be winning any contested ball stat competitions is dangerous with his disposal.
