AFL 2023 Preliminary Final Carlton vs Brisbane Pre Game Prognostications

[LoveNavy]

Agree DJC....the  margin in a final is irrelevant......kick more than your opponent...you win.

It's really no more complicated than that ?

23k v 14k tickets at the Gabba.

Double the volume Bluebaggers ?

Greetings from Koh Samui. Having just watched the replay with my mate, Kemp and Owies were fairly ordinary v Melb.
Having said that, I personally would have dropped them off the back of that. Im thinking:
- Cinc rumoured to have a little niggle, Kemp will come in if he doesn't get up
- Mots has been see around with a heavily strapped calf, Owies comes in if he doesn't get up.
Kennedy is the most unlucky for mine, he is the type you need in a big game, can play fwd and mid, someone needed to make way I guess. Curnow hasn't touched it in two finals and owes us huge one, frankly it needs to be huge from him for us to be any chance.

Amazing intel Rocky!!! You have all of our attention mate from now on!

On the Boyd selection while i thought he was developing along well he was nervous in his first few games and made some bad turnovers. Throwing him into a prelim is a massive call as we need cool heads more then ever this week as Rayner, Cameron and co will pounce on any turnovers and make us pay. This selection just makes me nervous.

And Jack not able to be picked cause he lacked match fitness - Yet Boyd is ok to play cold in a Prelim ?

Guesisng Boyd has been training longer and played in that practice game a couple of weeks ago, where JSOS didn't.

WTF? WT Flipping F?
Why no Kemp?
Hasn't set a foot wrong, done more that what is expected.
Better than Marchbank.
MC putting the baby out with the bath water. :

Smith gave him a good touch up last week.

Another one kick game, could we all handle it?....lol.

Only if it is our favour, then more the sweeter.

Kemp had a shocker last week, but it was one bad game in an excellent season. Very unlucky.

Boyd must have been picked to play on Bailey who loves dining out on us.

Agree, and if we get through, the following week there is Hill/McCreery or Daniels/Bedford.

One thing I think we can all agree on is that leg-speed is not the strong suit of our defensive unit......

[DJC]

It’s not the team I would have picked but I get the logic.

Kemp should be the sub.
