Re: AFL Rd 7 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong at the MCG
Reply #71 –
Stewart is Geelong’s most important player and they can’t cover his loss. That has repercussions for them all over the ground.
It depends on the innovation of the Handbagger MC.
It's a fatal mistake to assume a team is crippled by the absence of a single player, many of our own fans said as much about us in the early season absence of Weiters.
A forced change like Stewart going out can cause an MC to become inventive, inventive potentially means a new tactic that opponents have not seen before, and that can be deadly for the opponent if they go into a game unprepared to adapt.
Always respect opponents, and be prepared to adapt.
