AFL Rd 23 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[pinot]

As named, the matchups will be:

Docherty 185cm 85kg - Elliott 178cm 79kg
Young 201cm 100kg - Cameron 204cm 101kg
McGovern 191cm 89kg - De Goey 188cm 92kg
Marchbank 193cm 94kg - Johnson 193cm 85kg
Weitering 196cm 101kg - Mihocek 192cm 97kg
Saad 178cm 76kg - J Daicos 178cm 77kg
Stocker 184cm 85kg - Ginnivan 184cm 78kg

Not a lot of difference really.

McGovern on Degoey looks like a really poor match up. McGovern is a good talent but expect a bit much from him to play on Degoey - he will have a field day when the ball hits the deck. Everything ese looks alright, I guess.

They have three tall defenders = Lever, Petty and May and thats all you need. We are going into this game with four - that looks to me top heavy and having all four on the ground at the same time will have me very worried.

Lever might be a 'tall' defender, but he is not a key defender.
He doesn't play on big blokes.

Height doesn't mean you can/will/do play on best key forwards.

2 of those tall defenders you talk about are the same size as most of our midfielders

Have a silhouette of cripps, setterfield, McGovern and marchbank and pick which 2 are mids and which 2 are 'key' defenders. There's nothing between them.

....because they are not key defenders.

I don't think Degoey will play, McGovern has a bit of speed for a taller player and is a better bet than Plowman who usually gets the job. DeGoey is an awkward matchup for sure and will require some team defending if he plays forward.
The Pies forwards are an interesting bunch given they are all very different.They have a very blue collar look to them compared to our more classy traditional big name lineup.

A lot we could learn from how the Go Ds went inside 50 last night. Key word, efficiency. At most stages the inside 50s for both clubs were neck and neck, yet the Go Ds were 10gls up.

Does the dees flogging the bears do anything for us,  IE knock the pies out of a double chance?

Nothing.

Dees and Lions were basically on a par. So either result means the same for the Pies.
Pies win, they are top 4.
Pies lose, they are not.

Most likely result from here is 5th and 6th spot will be held by either Lions, Dockers, or Swans.....depending on the results.
So if we make finals, 95% chance we are travelling interstate week 1 unless an underdog gets up (ess over tigers, saints over swans, gws over dockers......all unlikely)

While the home ground crowd still heavily influences umpires, I think the bye has greatly reduced the travel impact of the interstate final.

If the Giants win (they have started well) and we win we will play Collingwood again.

Imagine stopping Collingwood from getting the double chance and then knocking them out first week. Bigger than 99.

If Richmond win and we make the finals looks like its Brisbane at Brisbane - yuck.

Hope we play better than we did last time at Brisbane. Can't for the life of me barrack for the scum against Richmond so whatever.

Last final was in Sydney  >
The one before .... can't remember
