Title: AFL Rd 9 2026 Pre Game Predictions Carlton vs Brisbane in Brisbane
Post by: crashlander on May 03, 2026, 09:41:06 am
Next Friday night. We're on TV, but I don't know if I can watch, not after being humiliated by a second rate side like St. Kilda. Brisbane will run all over us and kill us with their disposal. Voss has a very poor success level against his old team.

100+ by ironically Voss's old team.

I think we'll play well and lead at half time and then they will have a ten goal quarter. There won't be a lot of difference in the last quarter, but the game will be over by then.

Copy and paste from every other game.

I actually thought a few of our guys who have been pushing for selection (Young, Wilson) weren't as good yesterday as they have been in previous games. I doubt there were any game changers that we could promote, but surely Hewett has done enough and these other guys probably deserve a chance. Lord should be back in.

I know everyone wants to see youth, but whats the point of putting kids out to the slaughter?
We need to stop thinking of putting players out there to expose them and find out about them, but rather to play a role and learn how to play afl footy.
Last night:
Matt Carroll Jagga smith Lachie cowan Ollie hollands Harry dean
Inexperienced but mature: Liam reiddy. Frankie evans
Ollie hollands the most experienced of the lot having played 71 games now, the rest are all sub 50 games.
Play too many more and what are they learning?
2 of this lot went off injured fwiw. Dean with a groin and cowan went off for concussion test (and it may have changed the game).

I said Saad would've been my 3rd choice for promoting a HBF after last week. Wilson and Charleson should've got a gig first IMO. That being said, i actually liked Saad and his 'randomness'. Him taking off and darting every which was causes chaos. Chaos is hard to defend. We are too easy to defend against currently, so i'd persist. But.... I'd move him further up the ground. Play him on a wing. Play him in the middle. Play him at half forward. Any of them still allows him to come help out in defence, but it frees up a spot for another HBF to come in. So lets promote Wilson this week.
I didn't see any of the game, so it appears its poor timing....but we need foot skills so he gets a gig.
Harry can piss off, bring in Ison. Having 3 similar type medium forwards running around (Ison, Kemp, McGovern) would make it hard for the opposition to get good matchups.
Dean looks to be out, bring back Young.
Cowan may be out, which helps the Wilson promotion.
If Pitto is right, keep him. If not, rest him. Drop Reidy, bring in HOK...and play him further up the ground rather than hide him in the goal square. Get his hands on the ball more. Get him dropping down across half back.
Hewett needs to come back, i'd rest Cripps, but that won't happen, so Cerra it is.
Hayward needs a reality check, bring back Moir who will impact the scoreboard more.
IN: L. Young, Wilson, Hewett, HOK, Ison, Moir OUT: Dean (inj) Cowan (inj) Cerra, Reidy, McKay, Hayward.
We won't win, but we should learn and develop a lot more than sticking with the same crew.

Of the 6 in's you've mentioned, only Hewett deserves a call-up. That's not going to happen. If you saw Voss' post match you'd know George is on the nose. Well on his nose primarily I would rather Harry went to CHB than bring in the donkey (L Young). Wilson started off pretty well yesterday afternoon but then had a couple of horrible moments and his confidence just dropped off. Like he felt he'd blown his chance? Still I'd be happy to give him a run if Cowan doesn't get up. Maybe he'll get in anyway. At the expense of a seriously underdone/out of form Cottrell HOK is just no good at the moment. Cannot get considered, so based on our MC he has every chance You need to watch the magoos game. Moir kicked an absolute ripper on his left from the boundary. More evidence of a player who has "something" but just can't sustain it for longer periods , yet, I hope. Still if Harry goes back he would be my logical replacement. Finally, Ison. First time I've had a good look at this kid and I'm hoping, HOPING, we may have found one. Didn't get a lot of it but 3 goals from 8 kicks ain't bad. Looks to have some mongrel too. Wouldn't mind having a look at him in the big league
oh, p.s. Cody Walker. Very, very good

Lewis Young has been reasonable...Weitering, Harry and a host of others have been woeful. Young has more to play for imho and while I wouldnt play him on anyone brilliant he can play a few roles and didnt deserve to be dropped imo but of course you cant drop any of the big name players and create more headlines.

Don't get confused with what i want vs what i think will happen.
I know most of the above are no chance of happening. I know next week will be more of the same as a result.
I'm trying to create enough of a change to jolt us awake again. MC will not.

Word on the street is he might be reconsidering his decision to nominate us.
