AFL Rd 18 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong

Saturday night game at the MCG, and we are on TV for a change.

This will depend a lot on the weather.  Our form in the wet has not been all that great, and our height up front disappears as an advantage.

Strangely enough, I always feel like we are a chance against Geelong.

Looking forward to an epic grind type match.

If the 5 mids (Walsh, Cerra, Hewett, Kennedy and Cripps) get nearly 140 possessions between them again, then Charlie and Harry can really test the Geelong defence.

[kruddler]

This game will be the battle of the twin towers up forward.

Harry* (36) + Charlie (50)
vs
Hawkins (43) + Cameron (46)

* Harry missed all those games and going by averages, we've got them covered.

Going to be a real chess game in terms of matchups........at both ends. Blicavs will probably get Charlie and SDK will probably get Harry, Cats have been running a bit different of late and have interchanged Rohan and Cameron with the latter roaming around up the ground and leaving Rohan as the second key forward. Takes a very agile taller defender to play on Cameron so maybe McGovern might get a call up to the senior team immediately as he probably has the tools to play on Cameron in that role.
I think TDK can beat Stanley and give us a head start in the midfield, another interesting feature will be Dangerfield and where he plays.....both teams have a quality midfield including quality stoppers in Hewitt and C. Guthrie and it looks an even matchup in the middle.
Hoping those old Cat legs dont last the distance and we can run them hard early and leave them eating our dust later in the game....

With Stewart out as their interceptor, they are more vulnerable than usual.

Charlie and Harry will no doubt get plenty of inside info on how they should play SDK.

Same here, Big T.

Anyone who writes us off for this one does so at their peril.

The Pussycats have changed their game this year, more direct, more attacking. IF we bring 4 qtrs of our game and limit their moments, then we've got this one.

Strangely, Im more confident this week that last week (I thought we’d kose and I was wrong).

1 v 5. If we win this week? Ill stick my neck out and say… maybe not just yet, Ill ssve it

Dare to dream, this is the main event game for us for the season..
Cats will start favourites but I think we match up well and they are due for a loss.
