Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 7 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong at the MCG
Last post by ElwoodBlues1 -We did OK with Weitering missing at the start of the season.Agree...think the only way to negate the Cats forwards is not to let the ball get down there end too often, its a very talented forward line with good variety and no obvious matchup for Cameron imho.
As good as Hawkins is, he does rely on players up the ground and, if we can get on top, he can be starved of opportunities.
Cameron is a different kettle of fish with his ability to win the ball and create opportunities up the ground. While it's not an ideal match up, Young is probably best able to go with him. Alternatively, Kemp runs with Cameron when he plays up the ground and Weitering or Young pick him up inside 50.
Vossy seems very confident that both Williams and Weitering will play.
Young on Hawkins would worry me more than Kemp on Cameron.....this is a game where McGovern providing that second man up or having the ability to run with Cameron will be missed....never thought I would say we would miss McGovern but its credit too him he has become a key cog in how our defense works.
