AFL Rd 19 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs West Coast at marvel

Dont need Martin to beat WC......you take on players like McGovern, Martin, Williams etc you just have to hope they are fit at the business end of the season and can stand up for the big games and finals. Reality is they miss a third of every season,

The other issue with blokes like Martin is how much coming in and out of a team unsettles the gameplan. Just can’t get any continuity which is why you just can’t have the amount of them we have all on the one list.

...Assuming it's a fair dinkum injury and not some 'creative' management.

And even making the assumption all those injuries are genuine....I bet that's not how Adam Simpson is spinning it.
He'll be saying "Look at that, that's how much they think of us."
I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more out before game time.

It may not make a huge difference, but it might be motivation enough to give us just a few concerns.

Agree. Also, how much do the comings and goings affect the other players?

Looks like Barrass is out...
They're treating us with disrespect

Serve them right if we win ?

Barrass a late out for WC.

I expect it to be tough early on. They have a decent midfield. Ours is very compromised without Pitto, Crippa, MK, Martin, and Cerra. The game will allow our 'next man up' method to be fully tested.

We have a perfect opportunity. Who will step up?
