AFL Rd 17 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs West Coast

[Mantis]

I hope the guys don’t underestimate the opponent again against the Eagles. Once again a side that has nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I wonder if SPS will get a run against us?  He's the Medisub today

The Weagles going OK v the Tigers so far. Not brilliant  but ok. We will certainly have to have our wits about us.

Cookie, If we cant flog the eagles we wont be much chop in the finals, they are very ordinary and coach Simpson who may be at North next season knows its a long way back for them via the draft and doesnt look real interested Imho.
The old soldiers JK, Darling, Shuey etc are still their best players and if Weitering comes back fit then we should be thinking percentage booster....

Yep, people are too focussed on the past, it's irrelevant, it's not the same team playing now that the Wet Toast started the season with, they are a serious threat to any club on the ladder.

They faded out a bit in end EB but they can still muster some pretty dangerous talent. Agree that we must win and should win this but we shouldn't be taking anything for granted imho.

There are 2 players we must neutralize: NicNat and Josh Kennedy. NicNat usually plays well against us, and one thing we learnt from the game against St Kilda is that we have to win the centre clearances if we are to win over there.
Weitering will be back, and he often plays well against Kennedy. But even with Tom de Koning's improved form, we really need to nullify Nic Nat. he is their matchwinner.

It's pretty quiet here on the site today, usually that is a sign of dread!

[madbluboy]

They have 2 wins.

Carlton by 45 points.

That's because we have gone from top 4 aspirants to hanging on to the top 8 in the space of one week.

If we don't get a win on Sunday, we will be well and truly under the pump.
