AFL Rd 2 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong

[crashlander]

Getting in early, as I will be very busy tomorrow.

Dow dominated in the praccy and kicked four goals against Ninthmond has to be in contention.
Couldnt do worse than Fisher and Martin

Dow might get the sub role, reckon they will stick with Fisher and Martin for another game at least.
Pittonet will probably get a game too, dont see too many changes other than that.

Martin was deplorable closely followed by Fisher (after his goal), Owies, Motlop (although he tried very hard to get into the game by covering the ground extensively).

Agree. I’m not a dow fan and can’t see him making it but fair is fair if your form warrants it he should be rewarded.

Martin is an absolute p1ss taker. We all keep waiting for him to play consistent footy but reality is he is what he is and what you see is what you get.

Injury prone inconsistent with cameo moments in games to keep the coaches interested.  I’ve seen enough.

Agree, but we are stuck with him, I'd be looking at him as the professional sub as he never plays four quarters but might give you that cameo 10 mins that can win a close game.

You could be onto something with that Sub option, some blokes just love a cameo, they shy away from the intensity of the fulltime spotlight.

Some people just want to be the interval clown, not the headline act!

I think we will win this one particularly if the Filth soften them up for us.

We have had a few clowns over the journey and it's probably why we have looked like a circus...
Martin in the middle as a shock trooper or down forward for 10 minutes could be what  we need as some X factor.
Fisher, Owies, Motlop doesn't seem to be working out as a small forward setup and we have become too Charlie and Harry centric...

[Mav]

To be fair, just about all of the small forward types were battling to get up for Rd 1 after injuries. A few players who had an interrupted preseason were underwhelming last night, on both sides.
