Re: AFL Rd 3: Pre Game Prognostications: Carlton vs Geelong in Geelong

Ruck is an even bigger problem this week, not because the Cats rucks are better but because they are ultra-mobile.
Gawn is aerobic and clever but he's not quick, Pittonet could still follow him around the ground.
Cats have Stanley, Blicavs and Ratugolea that they rotate through the ruck, they are not Gawn but Pittonet won't keep pace with any of them.
Winning the midfield will be ultra-critical this week, and we are up against the likes of Selwood and The Popsicle Dangerfield so it's hard to see how we can win this game.
btw., Almost 100% certainty Dangerfield will dump one or more of our mids in a revenge tackle for Burgoyne treatment of him last week, and be cleared of any wrong doing, he's a playground bully that picks on those who are passive! But do not be surprised that if we retaliate one of our guys gets the book thrown at them, what odds Cripps?
