AFL Rd 2 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

Another Thursday night game, this one at Marvel at 1920, against last year's runner ups.
We have actually payed reasonably well against the Dogs in recent times.
Live Long and Prosper!

Yep, last year we only lost by 16 points after we were up by 27 points in the 3rd quarter. The previous year we thrashed them by 52 points.

We have a very good midfield now - whatever we are paying Cerra he is 100% worth it

Will be a very interesting midfield battle. They’ve got one of the best in the business. Will need Weiters to shut down Naughton as well. Looking forward to it though.

Bontempelli is injured and may not play which would be a huge bonus..

Coupla things:
- If we take this game lightly, we will get torched by this mob.
- Fortunately there is only one key fwd to worry about and I think the best natch up for Norton is Gov.
- The defenders and mids need to mind their man who floats/rests forward (ie Bont if he plays)
- Midfield battle should be enthralling and will be where its won or lost.
- Fish could be in strife, dunno how many chances Vossy and co are prepared to give passengers. Carrol or Motlop could come in.
Pedal to the metal baggers, rest, recuperate, train hard and prepare, prepare and prepare some more.
PS Still hearing Walshy is a sneaky chance.

He'll have to come back through the Reserves  :)

It was good to see Walsh, Stocker and Dow enjoying their teammates' success from the stand.  All three could strengthen our side, but who do you leave out?

It's hard to know how much to take from our VFL practice match but several players seem to have put their hands up for a spot in the firsts.

Fisher wasn't bad, he charged straight through a number of stoppages and just because he didn't come out the other side with the footy doesn't mean he had failed to disrupt the Ferals.
