Prediction Round 23, 2024: Changes vs Carlton

[random260]

No Curnow or Mckay

Sweet it will be like the collingwood game. I look forward to watching us go forward to victory like we did against Collingwood who had no fwd line

Collingwood had a complete midfield and defence.
Carlton are missing a stack of b22 all over the park.

If you go in with expectations, you're going to be disappointed.

Holy **** I can't believe what I'm hearing.

We are not beating carlton. One 6 point win against norf after being 30 points down has got us thinking like we are a good side.

Anyone that thinks we have a chance is a clown

It's not that far fetched though. Carlton aren't as good as everyone thought they were and we're a much better team at home.

Lose the protective pessimism. If the supporters don't believe the boys can win, why should the players? You think if they took that attitude into the first Derby or Melbourne game they couldve won? Blues lost basically half their side, yes they'll be desperate you would think, but there's no reason we can't win. They've been doing worse than Sydney - their only wins for ages against North and Richmond. And Port did Sydney by 112. No team is unbeatable, let alone the Blues right now. You don't think a full strength Gold Coast could knock them off even at Marvel? I'm pretty sure North right now could at Marvel.

I'm hardly saying we're strong faves, but I'm at the point where I'd be disappointed not winning. It was 50/50 before I heard about the McKay news, but without him surely we are at least slight faves. The question is whether we can seize the opportunity and show we've turned a corner. We play well when we play angry, and I expect to see that on Sinday. Wind back the clock for Gaffy, those mugs used to dread coming to Perth, let's give them flashbacks, even if for one day.

That’s a serious set of outs including their two leading goal scorers

Lost our last 3 against them by an average of 80 points

Fair to say we owe them so I hope there’s a few players/coaches with good memories looking for some payback

Definitely a game we could win. Not sure if we will as we’ve disappointed too many times recently to be trusted to play at our best

 

[Bender_]

Holy **** I can't believe what I'm hearing.

We are not beating carlton. One 6 point win against norf after being 30 points down has got us thinking like we are a good side.

Anyone that thinks we have a chance is a clown

As unlikely as it may be it's not impossible.

Nothing is a certainty in a 2 horse race.

I'll say this about 5 wins.

Also as far as Carlton game goes

And...

 

[Wight Wolf]

The easiest goal he’s ever kicked?

Are you talking about the one that Ford just got nominated for goal of the week?

What the go here gringo, is hall your relative or what

 

[Hoskin300]

Agree, but why do wce continually pull this shit

Pull what shit?

 

[ep2018]

Even with their injuries and form, if you play this game five times, Carlton win three times and we win two times imo.

Beware the ambush? Your talking as if we are the team pushing for finals and they are a dogshit bottom three side.

lol that was my thought too. Weird.

I reckon they'll bring over a team full of speedy smalls plus a ruck and McKay.

We share a hairline, that’s about it.

 

[EagleEgo]

If we beat Carlton this Sunday, there is a high chance to see 5 non-Victorian teams in the finals.
edit: I predict Carlton to lose both the R23 and R24 games.

Exactly! We will be thinking they will need to replace their big forwards and they will do the opposite.Speed kills!

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

With Curnow out, Waterman some chance to leapfrog him over the next two weeks and finish top 2/3 in the Coleman.
An impressive season given the team he's played for and the 3 games he's missed with injury.

 

[18082015]

Carlton having this many players out will mess with their structure.

Having no TDK, it seems MP has been lacklustre and i think BW will have a chance to get on top for a change.

Walsh has been a bit off. Cripps has to do too much himself with Kennedy and Hewett chipping in.

Also, Carlton's game style is very much based on winning the hard ball, and not based on run / spread etc. So i'm not worried about their bounce off half back etc as i would be with the Hawks,

I reckon we only need to match them in the middle, so without Curnow and McKay they're very gettable.
