AFL Rd 9 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS

[LoveNavy]

Leon Cameron farewell game. Giants by 50.

I think you might be right.
I’m really looking forward to our response under significant duress.
Who stands up?

Motlop is replacing Martin so we're going with a much smaller forward line - one that might better suit the wet conditions.

Pretty quick too (and rabid for a tackle).

Put the Big Dog (Crippa) at FF and kick the effin thing to him and Charlie, I'm tipping a Carey like performance.

One of the youngest and most inexperienced sides I've seen for a while. Average games played would be very small,  but that said,  some of these blokes (eg Carroll) are playing like they've been there for longer than their games tally.

This will be a test of our players’ resilience and ability to push through adversity.  It will also be a test of our coaching group’s ability to improvise and think on their feet.

It will also provide “Deadly” Motlop with an opportunity to show that he can walk the talk.  Kemp also gets his chance to show that the glimpses we got at the end of last season are the real deal.

It’s also a big test for our leaders to maintain the players’ belief in themselves despite the absence of Harry and Young.

I’m disappointed that Stocker didn’t come up; it would have been great watching him give Toby a bit of curry.

I still think that GWS are soft and will not cope with our pressure and midfield dominance.  Blues by 20!

Really looking forward to this with so many missing and how Voss and the team are prepared mentally.

Not expecting a win but really do not want to see games from some players that are known to be conditional.

I can’t see how we can win tbh.
For me maybe Cripps/Kennedy rotating at ff, but I’d rather Kennedy play the whole game at ff and keep Cripps floating forward where he’s done well this year.
Not sure how the defence will hold up either, Young will be missed.

Yep, i initially floated Kennedy to FF with Cripps resting there as he does now. IMO that would sort out our forwardline for a week at least.
However, the backline without Young makes things extra difficult.

I'd suggest we may see a resting ruck (TDK/SOJ) hanging out around CHB filling space.

Hewett has also spent time as a forward at the Swans, actually as a utility used all over the place, so he is a good size and may also be an option of a rotation.

But now that Kemp is in I suspect he's going to get a rotation, maybe him and SoJ flicking between F50 and D50.

What we may miss this week is the lead up marking across the wing and HBF that BigH is supreme at.

Whatever we do it’s imperative to lower our eyes and honor with good delivery to our small forwards, if we bomb we are cooked.
