AFL Rd 15 2024 Pre-game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong

Agree, more run v the Cats would be very handy.
Reality always wins in the end.

The only possible change I can see us making this week is maybe Motlop coming in....just to add a bit more pace. But that said, the Owies/Williams combination has been working well and we haven't really relied on a big bag of goals from Charlie or Harry all year.

Barring any unforeseen injuries I'd expect an unchanged line-up. Time to start building a consistent group. The only in's before finals would be Cerra, Cottrell and MAYBE a "I promise you I won't hurt myself again" Martin.
Oh, and stop Cameron. Should put these pretenders in their place.
Go Blues

Williams to Stewart.
Cincotta to Holmes.
Kemp to Cameron with Kennedy to help out when he runs through the midfield.

Possibly bring Motlop in for Carroll, otherwise no change.

Just on Williams; he went back into defence in the last quarter against Essendon when McGovern was off and played hard-nosed defence.  He has also been spending time in the midfield.  Having versatile players who can play multiple roles is a bonus.

We really should be beating teams like Geelong, otherwise WE are the pretenders
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Not super confident about his game. They've had the wood on us for a long time, and are far from a spent force. Both teams should be pretty evenly matched.

The usual suspects need to be respected:
- Stewart
- Hawkins
- Cameron
- Stengle
- Myers
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

Tanner Bruhn ruled out for them with injury.

Vossy’s thoughts:

“… acknowledge that there are some really important players to Geelong that help them execute the way they want to play.

Certainly [Tom] Stewart is one of those, but they’ve got players in the midfield and up forward that we’ll need to make sure that we take care of. They’re all things to keep in mind but we’ll still come into the game largely focused on how we field our own game and how we get our own game going.

We know if we have that in shape, we have enough to challenge the other way."
