Re: AFL Rd 9 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St, Kilda Reply #75 – May 09, 2025, 03:13:20 pm Quote from: Thryleon – on May 09, 2025, 02:11:32 pmQuote from: Professer E – on May 09, 2025, 10:32:39 amI don't want to see a mis-matched, unbalanced side run out. The named side is ?How many games do you back a bloke in to come good? Docherty is clearly at the broken patience stage. In out in out.Are they going to let the "usual suspects" do their thing- Steele owning Cripps for example. At least one of our bugbears has left to Collingwood, thankfully. Just watch some craptruck pop up and kick a bag.Higgins and Owens are the usual suspects.Wanganeen-Millera, Hill, Sinclair and Butler if he plays usually save their best for us too.Rowan Marshall can thank dominating against our rucks for an AFL career. Luckily Stocker doesnt play too well against us and hes usually quite important for them. The saints are the most annoying side in the AFL to watch, and there is 0 heat on them after their dismantling of Freo last week. We are not going well though, and look as broken as we did at the tail end of last year. Higgins is no slouch, currently 2nd in the Coleman I think so he will need close attention. Quote Selected

The other usual suspect from them who gives us a bath is Steele, he normally beats Cripps who skipper should push fwd at every opportunity and exploit him. Quote Selected

Higgins is no slouch, currently 2nd in the Coleman I think so he will need close attention.Agree...needs a player who can handle him on the ground and in the air, takes a few marks in one on one duals and can play as that default key forward when they have Sharman and Caminiti playing further up the ground and dragging their opponents with them. Its a different game at the MCG though and requires a bit more mobility imo, we can look a bit top heavy with too many taller types down back. Quote Selected 1 Likes

Lyon is the 19th man for the 'Aints, he is as cunning as a craphouse rat so Voss will need to be flexible tonight and not just let things roll on if we fall behind Quote Selected
