Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 10 2024 In Game Angst Carlton vs Sydney in Sydney
Too many stars in top form, no injuries, well drilled. Swans will torch plenty of teams this year.

Probably not.
We need to make Blakey accountable for one of Tom, Charlie and Harry, preferably the latter. If his opponent is getting good delivery and making the most of it, Blakey will be flat out like a lizard drinking.

in Williams Fantasia Carroll Marchbank
out Cerra Cottrell Martin Pitto
Probably no other options all things considered.

Poor old Marchbank must have the Alex Johnson curse, and Cuningham not much better. You could make a good argument for "parting ways" with those two I guess.

I'm not really a believer in the supernatural, but if it works, I'll take it.

Are we going to hear about the length of the Carlton injury list like the Tigers?
Yes

The matches don’t get any easier for the Blues, now travelling to Sydney to play the top-of-the-ladder Swans. And, stop us if you’ve heard this one before Blues fans, they’ve got some injuries to worry about - a list now stretching to 14. Jack Martin is the latest, suffering another calf strain after just one game back. It will cost him at least a week but has been described as slight. Their absences also include Adam Cerra (hamstring), who’ll be reassessed in Round 13, and Matt Cottrell (stress reaction in foot), who will be reassessed after the club’s Round 14 bye. Marc Pittonet faces a fitness test after undergoing minor surgery on an injured finger. Zac Williams didn’t play last weekend due to a glute injury and is listed as a test. Jesse Motlop and Adam Saad (both hamstring)are another week away from returning, while Lachie Fogarty will miss another one to two games.

Healy would say that (for the record I'm a fan).
Assuming his numbers are right, he does have a point. He is a Swans great, a member of their Team Of The Century, and a commentator of some repute. You hope he would know.

They're good but we're better. Only thing keeping them in it is the SCG mini ground factor.
Gerard Healy is adamant that the smallness of the SCG is both overstated and a relic of the 80's.

A big test of our toughness and nous.
Yes. There's a sizeable body of work recently that suggests we won't be blown away, and we are a real chance to win every game. But the Swans are a pretty tall order at the moment IMO.
