AFL Rd 6 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St. Kilda

We're slated to play the 'Aints at Marvel at 15:20 on Sunday 23rd April.
It will be interesting as we have a long break, while the 'Aints play Collingwood this week.
Live Long and Prosper!

The Saints have stated that Steele will be back for this game after a broken clavicle.

Saints have been playing without their two key forwards as well in King and Membrey, hopefully they are still out especially the latter who seems to like playing us...

The big keys dont worry me, Weiters and Young seem to have a "bring it on" approach and thrive on playing on the big forwards. Who worries me are the small pests like Higgins,  Butler, Billings (who he plays), Gresham and newbies like (not smalls but) Caminiti and Phillipou who can all get under our guard. If we could get more from Durdin, Motlop, Owies, Fisher, etc as a collective (as opposed to one bobbing up while the others don't), we wouldn't lose many games I reckon.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Agree the smalls are going to be a problem but I think they will be better with their two KP Forwards if fit back in the team especially Membrey who has proved a difficult matchup and is one of their leaders.
They will also have Steele back who is probably what Glen Jakovich was to Wayne Carey and Cripps always seems to  battle to get the better of him. Saying all that I expect once again that Charlie and Harry should be too much for the Saints and our overall midfield group should dominate the likes of Crouch, Ross etc...
Marshall is having a great season so quelling his influence will have a big impact on the game.... a good test for the coach this game will be in terms of getting the chess pieces right.

The Saints will bring heat to the ball, and that will be the end for Carlton.

Ross Lyon will be watching our game tonight pissing his pants at how easy next week will be.

I cannot think of a single positive out of this game so far, not bloody one.

Saints by 5 goals if they fail to see real form.

Maybe we should've got Ross the Boss and Sos, instead of Voss?
2025... Moir of the same to come

Maybe. The only way we could find out is what we did, to give Voss a try.
The question will be, can he learn from our failings and come up with a solution? If he can, then we've chosen wisely. if he can't, then we're headed to more years of mediocrity.
Live Long and Prosper!

We all know whats going to happen against the Saints.  They will play out of their skins against us, and we are going to cop a hammering. 

The wins thus far have masked a lot of systemic issues at the club, and one of those is the reliance on individuals to get us across the line.  If this one is at Marvel we are in strife.

Not greatly worried. First loss. Shake up they needed. Knew it was coming and tipped Adelaide. Pretty confident against St.Kilda.

When Carlton don't turn up to play, they really don't turn up. Been that way since I started supporting them a long time ago. Soon rights itself. Even in our greatest year, 1995, we had 2 losses worse than last night.
