AFL Rd 10 2026 Pre Game Predictions Carlton vs Western Bulldogs at Marvel

Saturday night at Marvel, starting at 19:35.

Not a venue we've done much at, and the Dogs are on the improve again.
Ruck rules will favour English, who is the difference for the Dogs. With him, they're a chance, without him they're toast.

English could be out with concussion. Got whacked by Kennedy!

Can not afford to slip backward after the second half effort last night.

They need to make last night the start of something. Simple as that.

Start by getting in front of the Fing green pests and sorting out the ruck rule - it has killed us

I think we could bring Ison in, move Kemp to the back line and drop Haynes. Weitering has said how much he enjoys working with Kemp in the past. Kemp is in good for, he just can't kick straight! Ison is aggressive, committed and can kick straight.

2-8, we match up well against the dogs and they are depleted.

I think so Baggers, for whatever reason we have a history of generally playing every well against them. Darcy out helps, if English misses as has been suggested thats good also. They are a good outfit thought and will see us as road kill. Over to you messrs Cripps, Walsh and Weitering.

English will be out as reported today and that will help, but unless we continue on with the same attitude/effort as in half 2 v the Lions they should account for us comfortably. I'm actually starting to think about the big picture (come last and get the double pick) so another honourable loss wont upset me too much

We can't take much from the VFL game regarding the talls, because the Demons were basically a squad of kids. For example even Moir looked to be a class above, especially when we started avoiding Tom McDonald.

But the smaller of our on ball brigade did OK, better than OK, effectively against a bunch of peers.

I like the look of Ison in that turnover transition roll, but I'm not sure he has an AFL tank yet, he's another in that Kemp or Cripps size bracket and to me looks a bit like Kemp before we pigeon-holed Kemp as a defender.
