AFL Finals 2024 Carlton vs Brisbane in Brisbane

[ElwoodBlues1]

I reckon Durdin is possibly the highest risk. His shoulder pops out when the breeze changes direction. Otherwise Cerra who is out of form and not fit.

Overall, i think we've gone 'safe' with selections.
Safe is a relative term, and i use it in terms of attempting to put our best side out there.....and hoping they hold up.

It would be much braver to leave out some of the 'regulars' and push the kids a bit more, but that would cop more backlash from the larger AFL world....including blues fans.

I've already mentioned, but i think we've gone too many underperforming small forwards and would mich rather sacrifice one or 2 of them for the unabashed enthusiasm of a kid or 2.
I thought Moir as sub would be perfect.
Lord i think is a little undersized, but taking the place of a small forward means we don't lose much.

If we are to win this game, i expect some breakout games from our small forwards to get us over the line.
That currently is our weakest point, and its the area that needs to lift the most.

If we are to win Cripps and Walsh have to have big games, we wont be stopping Brisbane with our leaky defense and have to limit their opportunities and increase ours as well as improve the quality. Make it a hard stoppage grinding game and make it an ugly game.
