Giants will come out firing you would hope.
Can the Blues change ladder position?

Depending on results Giants could finish as high as 6th and as low as 9th, 10th if we lose by 100 plus and the Bombers win by 100+.

Giants to win by 2 goals.

Should be a good game.
We can drop as low as 7th I believe. We can also stay 5th even with a loss.
Saints need to beat Lions at the Gabba and/or Swans beat the Dees. But Swans also need to make up around 5%.
If we lose to you guys by say 20 points, I think they would need to win by around 60 to jump us. And then obviously the more we lose by, the less they'd have to win by.

Given our bruising contests over the past few weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if we rest some of our sore players.
Cripps was banged up. Doc seemed ok this week, but came off the week before.
Especially if we have a few due back. I could potentially see the following:
Cripps for Cerra
Hollands for Walsh
Doc for Kennedy
Pittonet for Silvagni (who was possibly re-injured in the VFL game)
Cuningham for Fogarty

Depends on availability and how much we want to flirt with form.
And that's in no way being disrespectful to GWS, but purely looking forward to the 1st final.

 

[Power Raid]

blues by 27 as they will want form in their final run before september

 

[JackFlash]

Giants to stomp all over the little boy Blues by 40 points

 

[Jeremias]

Team selection will be very interesting. We've been really conservative towards the end of the season so I'm keen to see whether that continues this weekend.

As the final game of the season we'll know exactly where we sit with regards to potential landing spots for the first week of finals.

I'd be very comfortable resting a good handful of players in this one.

Reckon we may see one of the strongest lists of emergencies, with maybe 4 late outs if the other results fall our way and it's a dead rubber.

Giants to get it done and pretty convincingly. We’ve got greater ambitions

I hope so. Some won't be happy about it but it would be the smart thing to do IMO.

We've qualified for finals; now we have to do what we feel gives us the best chance of going all the way.

Risking a few of our most important players to injury (vs a side we may very well face again a fortnight later) is not that.

I like the confidence and wouldn't be surprised if you won, but do you think Carlton has smaller ambitions?

Than who?

 

[DowJone23]

Not saying Carlton has smaller ambitions. Feel like either of these teams could feature pretty heavily in the finals and go far

Could very well be the preview for the 2023 grand finali!

Carlton by 20

It already looks like you get to choose between the Bulldogs in week 1 or GWS (again).
Can't see my mob beating the Dogs with the outs we will name on Thursday evening.

Giants may just have the desire to outlast you guys knowing the Blues have nothing really to fight for this time around. Some tactical decisions to be made by Voss.

Week 1 - Carlton v GWS at the MCG will be epic. Toby Greene v Charlie Curnow.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Start time is fking ridiculous.

Results of the round will be known by then
Depending upon the outcomes, there could be incentive for Carlton not to win

 

[Soapy V]

Probably a dead rubber

Cerra Walsh Kennedy Silvagni Boyd Fogarty McGovern all likely available. McKay needs games

Cripps Newman Pittonet Saad Docherty all sore and have barely trained over recent weeks. Be interesting to see if we rest players and give others a go.

Selection becoming harder

silvagni okay soap?

 

[Soapy V]

silvagni okay soap?

I haven't heard he isn't.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

silvagni okay soap?

I haven't heard he isn't.

I saw some people saying he was injured and another saying he was rested after half time.
So not sure if he did something, it was precautionary, or just on managed minutes.

 

[kreuze_missile]

In two minds...

1) rest everyone for finals, probably a dead rubber

2) win 14 games in a row.. release a winning streak box set like st kilda.. but ours actually mean something
