AFL Rd 6 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St. Kilda
I've been reading articles about the Saints Pies game - the Saints apparently are No1 for boundary ball movement, and the Pies (and McRae) blocked the boundary, forcing the Saints to go inboard, forcing turnovers which were pounced on by the Pies. The talk is that this tactic basically won Collingwood the game.

Food for thought Vossy and Co...........

How many more rounds before we start a "Voss versus Ross" thread? If they keep winning and we keep spluttering...
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

Hoping for the following changes this week
Out: Saad, Plow, Hewitt/Ed, Pitto or SOS
In: Kemp, Cincotta, Dow, Gov
Sub: Ed
Honey loses his sub role

Think Hewy needs a rest to get over the hand, if he's ok to go I'd drop Ed. Dow needs another chance and we need the pace.
I think we have to reassess whether we can play 2 rucks and SOS, especially as TDK needs to develop his forward work.

I’m not sure it was that clear cut, GIC. The relevant bit was at about the 13:30 minute mark:

The other week I went with friends to the VFL game between Sandringham and Gold Coast at the revamped Saints ground at Moorabbin.

With approximately 200 people in attendance and the ability to wander onto the field at quarter and three quarter time to listen to the coaches,  I was reminded of local district matches I attended years ago.

There was a complete lack of atmosphere and this was reflected in the lack of pressure applied by the players during the game. 

My lasting impression of the game is that it showed quite starkly the gulf in ability of players in the VFL compared with  AFL.

As pathetic as some on our list are, I would be reluctant to bring in more than two from our VFL ranks this week.

Macca, I watched the replay of the Carlton v Richmond match and it was also underwhelming. Richmond only had 4 AFL-listed players (and no senior players amongst them) while we had 12. Despite this advantage and Mirkov dwarfing their ruckmen, we could hardly score. Not greatly encouraging.

Back to the tried and failed with LOB.......Kemp and McGovern play the same position as does Plowman.
On the plus side Cincotta has earned his promotion.

extended bench. I don't expect LOB to play.
