AFL Rd 3: Pre Game Prognostications: Carlton vs Geelong in Geelong
#1
Covid-19 or no, I feel very ripped off with this fixture. having to play games in Geelong when we can't play them at Ikon is ... not satisfactory. Not in the least. Just another of those anti-Carlton things that have become a part of the AFL.

On the playing front, Geelong played well against Hawthorn.
Live Long and Prosper!

We will get smashed by 10 goals plus at KP against Dads Army
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

It will probably cost them more money playing at their stadium than it would us travelling there.

Its a blessing in disguise.

If we can channel some of the 2nd half stuff into the 1st half, we are a chance. Their rucks are not a patch on Gawn. However, our midfield really needs to be working for 4 quarters.
To be honest, I can't see us doing it, but we are not without a chance. But we have to squash their ball winners. We don't do that enough.
Live Long and Prosper!

Play like the whorks did and we'll get smashed.

Hope Teague watched the game, pretty clear that springing straight down the ground from half back is the key.  Tagging/playing close to Selwood and Ablett is key.  The cats key forwards suck, it's their smaller crew that cut you up.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I can tell you what will happen if you like:
We will be asleep for the first qtr, they will kick 8 goals, we will half wake up in the 2nd and kick 2 to their 5. We ill play ok for the 3rd and 4th, lose but everyone will be happy with an honourable loss because its in Geel.

By the time we wake up and realise we are playing in a game of footy it will be pretty much game over.  >Sad
Reality always wins in the end.
