AFL Rd 15 2024 Post-Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong

[RiverRat]

So nothing from the past 50 years then?

Times have changed and those days (good or bad) are long gone.

Yeah - now a player can be ruled out by a concussion whereas they needed to be knocked out in 1973.

Imagine if our A Grader had been knocked out in the first 30 secs of such an important game!! Danger should be thankful it's only a week and not a total slur on his reputation if the consequences had been worse!!

Slick q2 sequence on the wing.
Newy to Saad to TDK to H. Ball sails straight through the big sticks.
What's not to like?

What are the chances of a ruck being injured on grand final day?
Remembering, they won't have a game the following week so will be jabbed up to the eyeballs if required to get through the game.
It would need to be a VERY significant injury.
Rucks don't get injured like they used to due the way the rules are now interpreted.

People keep saying we can't put Harry in the ruck because its too dangerous.
Harry is more likely to get injured playing his usual role as we see him get smashed each week in marking contests.
He might welcome the change in the ruck and it could give us an unexpected point of difference.

No, we are more likely to lose because we lack the run and pressure required because we've gone in too tall.
I'm happy to 'take my chances' on the solo ruck knowing we have Harry, Cripps, Kennedy to step up when/where required.

I'd consider playing a tandem this week and rucking pittonet vs nankervis.  Might be a week to freshen up someone who's a bit sore.

Even more thankful he is now............he got cleared!

Id be expecting Richmond to go the knuckle this week led by Nankervis being overly unco and crashing into our players or catching them with swinging arms etc .. Glad Pickett isnt playing as he likes a snipe or two and is happy to punch players in the guts etc behind play. Dont expect a pretty game and I wouldnt be surprised if we cop a few injuries.

Yep, especially given all the attention TDK has drawn after last weeks game and because of the way TDK started against his brother.

Having watched that game, what do people think Nankervis will do in the opening minutes? :o
