Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 7 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong at the MCG

They are billing it as the biggest Geelong- Carlton game since the 1995 grand final. And the conclusion; "If you need a prediction, it’s this: Carlton will be too strong around the ball in the end." I think that's pretty well spot on.
For good measure there's most of another page devoted to an interview with Brian Cook in an article titled, "Billionaires and business deals: The money machine delivering big benefits to the Blues."
Cook starts with, “The true uniqueness I found, in comparison [with Geelong], was just the passion of its supporter base at Carlton – its width, its depth, its tentacles where they spread.”

The AFL must be rapt that we're back as a serious competitor.
