AFL Rd 22 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Melbourne

A few weeks ago this would have been our 'danger game'. Now the Collingwood one is looking harder. But, are we ready to take on a team with a full list?
Live Long and Prosper!

It's early in the week but the thought of a Gawn/Jackson/Viney/Petracca/Oliver/Brayshaw midfield taking on us without Cripps, Kennedy and Hewett doesn't bare thinking about. I think Pittonet has to play this week.

We will get hammered if Cripps is out...Dees have a tough midfield and the best rucks in the comp, be doing well to be competitive.

Phew... For a nanosecond I mistakenly thought Cochin might have been in trouble, but he got off again.   What a surprise. My bad.

I reckon Cripps probably deserved a week but it's amazing how frequently we get done for line ball stuff yet other clubs, with serial recidivists, seem to get their players off.

Dees and Pies will be licking their lips knowing they face the swiftly sinking Blues.

Some great gains against a variety of changes and challenges. Unfortunately I think we'll finish with LLLL. 

If we get lucky at the expense of the Dogs results. Finals experience will be enriching. If not, we must get our list in shape for 23. The injury list that is!

I know walsh and Cerra are already stars but it took Judd breaking down to see cripps really become "the man".

Who steps up in cripps absence?

Setterfield
Dow
Kemp
Carroll
Stocker

For mine Carroll is the pick of this lot.  We've gone from too many to not enough really quickly and this is why Ed curnow goes around again next year for mine.

Sure the calves are in trouble but he is the only name on this list id be relieved to have as a complimentary in.

Not sure I have Cerra as a star yet, his kicking was horrible vs Brisbane and I think the next two weeks will tell what we have recruited in terms of star quality.
I think his season has been passable but I don't rate him as a match winner just yet.
Melbourne will be a big test and I want to see him on Petracca or Oliver.....

After Cripps out. Loss by 5 goals.
