Yep
This is a bit off a 'no anxiety' game.
A win would be nice.
Getting through injury free with a bit of a run into some of our injured is all we really need.
The reality is 'desire' and a 'job that needs to be done' can make a difference in most games.
When the opposition is playing for their season it can be significant.
Just by the nature of some of our selections I suspect the side are primed to just get through the game and make a bit of a contest.
They may be called on to 'up the tempo' and increase the pressure at various times in the game but I won't be surprised if it's not a full-on four quarter effort.
We could make a statement with just a short burst of our pressure football... as much as to say "This is what's coming for you if we play you in two weeks time".
We may see some good football from some of our fringe players who are playing for their finals spot, and I think there will be a bit of an effort to get a few goals to Charlie.
There may be some experimentation...possibly around the rucking for example.
The funny thing is that there is a danger in all this for GWS.
If they come in with the attitude "Carlton has nothing to play for" and think it will be an easy task then they may get a bit of a shock.
