AFL Rd 24 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St. Kilda

[Thryleon]

We are lucky its the saints.  Whilst they are a team that has been scoring more lately they are more of a 10 goal side than most which means our under manned forwardline has half a chance.

If Gov doesn't come up, you'd have to look at Marchbank (who has been suffering from concussion) or if that fails, you'd look at Akuei.

I wouldn't be moving Kemp back in a hurry, and i wouldn't bring in Harry or Charlie yet as it shows we've learned nothing.

Some want to bring in Lemmey or even Mirkov. I'm not sure going taller is best bet, especially with unproven, slow talls.

Lean into it and bring in more speed.
If we lose both Durdin and Williams. Moir starts and you'd probably have to include Fantasia and Wilson. toss of the coin to see who is the sub.

[Gointocarlton]

They will have to pick Marchback. No alot of choices. No one is moving Kemp.

I'd go with Akuei before I looked Marchbank, the latter is slow and injury prone. You never some athletic youthful exuberance could be just the ticket, we may unearth our own version Mac Andrew.

And I thought I was an optimist.

Like any team in their position, St Kilda will have a crack until it all starts getting a bit hard and they start thinking about Mad Monday and overseas trips....... half way through the 3rd quarter. Kill their interest to compete early on.

They didn't do that to the Pussies last week!  Lyon and SOS would take great satisfaction in knocking us out of the eight, and the Aints will be fired up.

[ElwoodBlues1]

We will pick Marchbank for sure if McGovern is out and then we will put him on Membrey to complete the torture.
That's just the crazy stuff we do to increase the difficulty factor....

SOS and Ross the Boss aren't on the ground when the fizz starts to go out of the game.

And I thought I was an optimist.

What is Marchbank going to give you? He is slower than treacle, panics under pressure, is a terrible kick. Sadly, IMO, his career at AFL level is finished. I've seen enough.

[kruddler]

Why can't i help but think the brilliant performance last week was just a setup for the ultimate humiliation this week?

We've been poor for 8 (?) weeks in a row that we were beaten into submission as supporters, going in as underdogs to the Eagles.
Then, we get a glimmer of hope....
....only for it to be snatched away again in the last game of the year.

[Baggers]

Ross's mantra will be to 'get in their grill.' They'll hit us hard with defensive pressure... attempt to nullify stars, intimidate kids, will be their goal. They'll want to finish their season on a high and have nothing to lose.

But if we hunt them; get into their collective grills... lookout.
