For me this game is the relevant barometer game for the lions. Adelaide are top 5 cluster and we were always going to get thrashed.
Carlton, while performing better in the ladder, are closer to our actual division and we should at least be competitive. I imagine the pressure on Leppa to be removed/quit immediately will mount if we cop a ten goal flogging.
However if the players are really behind Leppa we could also see a scrappy fight to the death win as per the Essendon game. Will raise interesting questions re Leppa's tenure if we do.
I am actually starting to get interested in this game and have stopped looking for excuses to stay away.
Go the lions.
