Re: AFL Rd 4 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Gold Coast
Reply #43 –
Gold Coast is clearly a danger game for us. They have a lot of high draft picks who are highly talented. We have had a history of not turning up against. Lost to North Melbourne Gold Coast and Collingwood last season, lost to Hawthorn and Adelaide the previous season and I think we have had a history of consistently losing to bottom four sides over the past few years. even when we are not a bottom four side. As I have said in the past, losers lose because they lose, winners win because they win. We were lucky to get away with a win last week against, not that I thought Hawthorn deserved to win, but because we stopped playing smart and started playing lazy and dumb. The ball bobbled out a couple of times to Hawthorn players in the final minute but Weitering was able to intervene and save us. Our midfield should overpower Gold Coast and our forwards should be able to kick enough goals to win. However, what we should do and what we actually do do has been a large gap recently.
Agree that in the past we have benevolently ran teams and players into form. This is a test for for us and will show if we have indeed changed our spots under Voss. Providing we don't take them lightly, we should win comfortably.
