Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 5 - Blues v Crows Sat April 13th 4:35pm AEST (Marvel)

Welcome back, Sam.

Very interested to see whether he's named as sub. Ease him into the season after injury layoff.

Not sure there is an easier way to enter a season than to line up against a Nathan Van Berlo-Matthew Nicks coached midfield. Play him from minute one and sub him out once you are up by 5 goals AKA an insurmountable lead.

Yes, that's also a possibility. Perhaps more likely given it's his 100th game and it'd be very stiff to start him as the sub in a milestone game.

Bit strange to sub a player out at the 12 minute mark of the first quarter

they've got the whole week at training to give him a bigger challenge

Career ending match coming up for Nicks.

This game has that 100+ feeling.

Carlton pretty comfortably you would think at Marvel, just can't see the Crows coming down here & getting the win with the way they are playing.

Most thought the same this week with brissy and the bombers

Those games were an above average team vs an average team. The average team punched a bit above their weight and got the win.

This is an elite team versus a terrible team

Sometimes strange things happen in sport. Like I said before two other teams have won this round as rank outsiders with the bookies and one away from home!

Crows to win. Carlton are pretenders.

 

[Juddrockz]

Charlie to beat the Crows score on his own.

Have you posted that same line in all our game day threads this year? Definitely seems like it

Last 17 games = 15 wins, if that's pretending I'll take it.

No, I missed round 1.

I respect the grind

There will be a game when I'm right, and then I will self-bump and gloat

 

[The 747]

On topic, really hard to see the Crows, in awful form, not good away, getting near Carlton on a fast track.

Have you been hacked

 

[Zevon]

As badly as the Crows are going, I’m not sure this will be a huge blowout. The Blues aren’t the sort of side to exploit the slow plodding Crows midfield because they have a slow plodding midfield of their own.

Might have egg on my face later but I reckon this will be closer than people think.

 

[Chief]

Gettin em ready!
