Who?

 

[George Kramer]

They’ve got some handy ins with Walsh and Kennedy

 

[cleanhands]

That’s a good out

Do you think they’ll try Saad on an inexperienced kid like Pedlar if he plays?

 

[Gtowncrow]

This Thursday will be telling. Facing a quality team, prime time slot on FTA, expectations rising. Will we live up to the hype? I hope so

Crows by 42!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s a good out

Not for my fantasy team

We’ll trick ‘em if so by playing Ned

 

[Jeffcrowe]

All we have to do as look at the Carlton team sheet to not get ahead of ourselves

Plenty of individual stars

But we can beat them if we work as the better team

McKay out would be handy

Docherty and McKay out for Carlton would definitely help.

Walsh surely would be very underdone, with limited game time. Has he even played a preseason game in 2023?

Alternatively, pressure on Carlton to continue a hot start against a decent team away. And they are perennial bedwetters.

Not for my fantasy team

I'm hearing you.
I already had some DEF headaches before this news. Hinge has probably topped out and I was still carrying Chesser from last week.
So Hinge stays another week. I had Yeo and Wilmot coming in, but now it's Daicos and Wilmot, so not all bad. Hopefully no more injuries.

Very biased here, but in terms of star power, we match up fairly close to theirs.

Rankine, TT, Rachele, Fogarty

Our small forwards definitely better than theirs.

They kill us in the midfield. There is daylight difference here.

Gather Round will be more like Gather Around the Poor Vic teams having to play all their games in SA.

 

[UcantCme]

They’ve got some handy ins with Walsh and Kennedy

And Acres

It will be interesting how Walsh performs in his first up gane, Kennedy can be bit hit and miss, and Acres hasn’t hit the same form as he showed with Freo just yet

quietly confident with this one. Reckon we play well in big games like this at AO. (Nothing to back that up besides my 'general feel')

The Showdown game was impressive, I didnt think we could do that to Port in 2023.

 

[Dangarman]

Carlton are still looking for their first win at AO. Only managed to kick 45 goals in 6 matches (ave 7.5 goals).
Average losing margin 10 goals plus.

 

[UcantCme]

This hurts them, he has averaged 26 possessions across the first four rounds and is important to their ball movement

Although Carlton are winning they have struggled to play with any speed on the ball and Doch out makes it more challenging for them to fix this issue

I can't remember, were there venue restrictions in 2021?

Hope so. Pedlar should beat him.

Hope so. Pedlar should beat him.

Saad will go to Rankine, surely.
