Carlton Supporters Club

At this point it appears that we play GWS in Sydney next weekend. The game is presently set for Saturday Night at 19:25 and will probably be on TV.
It is reasonable to assume that this will go on as planned, but the AFL will do what it does.

[1] Historically we have performed poorly after the bye.
[2] We now have the review hanging over our heads like the Sword of Damocles.
[3] We have structural problems that our MC seem more than willing to accentuate.
[4] We have GWS underachieving this year as well and wanting very badly to make a point. They have an ordinary coach who wants to remain. They have a list of stars who have not performed to expectation.
[5] We are on TV. That itself is something of a surprise, as we have been on TV a lot more this year than I expected. However, we rarely win when we are on TV.
[6] We are playing guys who have not regained form and fitness through the VFL and who haven't got back to the best.

I hate to say it, but that bodes very poorly.

GWS don't look anything special today.

We'll likely smash them, then get rubbished in the media for the next week for going off half-cocked with a review.

Fan bloody tactic, GWS getting beating at the minute by Norf, you know what that means next week dont you.

Unfortunately their midfield is one are that they'll take us to the cleaners.....Ward, Taranto, Kelly, Whitfield, Hopper, Green etc....all big bodies with superior skills to our collective. That on it's own will be enough to give their forwards plenty more chances than ours.
