Re: AFL 2023 Preliminary Final Carlton vs Brisbane Pre Game Prognostications

Looks like horses for courses. Totally get the Boyd selection.
Like most I'm a little perplexed as to why Marchbank would get the nod ahead of Kemp. The thing that Marchbank does very well is read the play; high footy IQ... perhaps that's why. Kemp, being young, still learning the caper and finding his feet, does deliver a clanger from time to time. Defensive balance against the particular forward line? Probably.
Well, no matter what, for us to be pondering team selection before a preliminary final is just bloody terrific. And so much valuable finals experience will be gained. I may sound a little resigned to defeat in this game... nuh. But BrisVegas is deservedly and logically the favourite, especially on their dung heap. However, whatever the ingredients have been for us to get this far...
