Pre-Game Possibilities: AFL Rd 4: Carlton vs Gold Coast

[Professer E]

I'm not confident we can kick the 14 or so goals required to win.

Interesting stat from from today’s Gold Coast v Dogs match. The suns wons the hitouts 71 - 16.

Any chance Kreuzer will be ready?

Wow - I've never seen a discrepancy like that. Caleb Daniel was rucking ?

Mants....we should have won vs the Swans and probably Port as well....there is something holding us back. Brisbane have a similar list with a similar novice coach, yet are progressing at a rate of knots while we are floundering.
If we lose its probably time to conduct a review of the whole operation, not sack the coach but look at everything we are doing, similar to what Geelong did with Mark Thompson.
If we fall in by a few points or GC beat us by a few points it probably doesnt change much IMO.....we need to win by 5 goals min, kick 100 points and move to the next step in the journey.....

They have Luke Hodge. Very good leadership and knows what it takes is telling all the Brisbane boys how to get it done.

I'll take it step further...

Bulldogs, despite that, won the centre clearances 14-8 and overall 44-30. So much for the big tapout advantage. Just have the mids in the centre square ready.

Just further evidence taps are pointless stats, and our main problem in the absence of SpecialK is our ruck ineffectiveness around the ground.

It's not the hitouts that sway the result, it's the 2nd and 3rd efforts, or the absence of them.

You can lose the tap and win the clearances, through body positioning, blocks, second efforts, etc., etc..
