Re: AFL Rd 22 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Melbourne

Doc plays his 150 game. In the past these milestone games didn’t go well for us. This season has been a different story for us. Can the club carry their best leader over the line? Demons with debated selections. Fritsch, Harmes, Oliver and probably not the best form to carry through to the finals race. We come in with an unchanged list. Probably the best form we have had all season. Are we due for a loss? We get closer to a loss every win we get on the board. I am thinking at a guess we will fall short by only 2 goals. I hope we are ultra competitive. If our intensity, drive for success and high risk high reward football is in the mindset, then anything is possible. Melbourne is a very difficult side to beat. Their current form doesn’t state it is impossible to win. Is this game more about how desperate to prove a point this Blues unit has before them, than which players are available to hit the field? This could be the most important game of the round. It could be the game that is the real measure of where our club is at. With a list of injuries that is no less than other clubs have. I am not sure what our win loss ratio is against Melbourne in the last 5 seasons. It definitely couldn’t be great.
Last 5 - LLLLL
Last 20- LLWWWWWWWLWWLLLLLLLL
Haven't beaten them in our last 8 outings so yeah, not great.
