AFL Rd 22 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Melbourne

[Mantis]

Keep resting players and wait to get them back 100%. Do not risk early returns just yet. I don’t think we were the clearance kings tonight. We did not land enough marks we should have. We just had a tough fight we were prepared to endure. Keep playing this unit to develop the squad. They work together very well. Ignore the statistics. It isn’t a team of champions. It is a team that plays like champions. Talks are Dow and Silvagni might be considered for trade at seasons end. Both must have some value. Too many similar talents in this current group.

If Melbourne lose the next 2 and we win the next 2, we will jump them into 4th!

We play GC and GWS so definitely possible to win both
Dees play the in form Sydney in the last round....at the SCG no less.
We need to be cheering on the hawks next week though to make it happen......even a draw would suffice.

Charlie who's field play is quickly turning him into the the next Franklin. I had to laugh on the broadcast when Daisy said "that kick to Owies" wasn't that good, she's been hanging around a bit too much with BT. Daisy take leaf out of Richie Benaud's book rather than follow the unending parroting of the BT, and remember sometimes it's better just to say nothing at all!  :o

Not a good example for Daisy to follow.

Hollands and Dow both did their jobs tonight, (Dow 80% efficiency) but I think they must make way for Cerra and Walsh. Both in the absolute heat of battle just weren't quite able to stand up. Hollands will get there and Dow will always be susceptible to pressure. Offer him another 1 year deal and see how much  he wants to stay.    Otherwise an EXCELLENT night at the office!

That has always been my view because he has often been too slow to get his foot to the ball and has shown little defensive capacity BUT, after watching him put his body on the line like never before, a few more games like tonight and I might be forced to reconsider.

Not yet, do the ladder predictor, if we lose the next 2 and results go a certain way, we can drop out. We aint out of the woods yet.

I'm with you. Keeping the lid on until the last results of the last round are confirmed.

I still have flashbacks of the Doggies celebrating that same moment last year. ? you know how the rest.

Now IF we win another game, and I believe we will, the lid will be lifted.

Go Blues

We need one more win to seal the deal

What lid? It was off a month ago. Number 17 is within our grasp!

So we need to win our last 2 and Port need to lose 2. That would give us top 4.

Yes, it the club that needs to keep the lid on it, not us. As for us supporters, who cares about a lid. Let it blow!!!!!

Same with Port. We are on 50, Port 56.
