AFL Rd 12 2026 Pre Game Predictions Carlton vs Geelong at MCG

Not looking forward to this one. Geelong are playing very well, but we've managed to win a couple.
Friday night at 19:40 at the MCG.
Live Long and Prosper!

Geelong are playing really well at the moment. They were far too good for Sydney.
This is where I'd love to have someone who can shut their best mids down, but ...

They ever managed to cover their ruck weaknesses with numbers, and their rucks are favoured by the new conditions, as they jump.
Live Long and Prosper!

That would be a start, but then they've got Holmes, Mannagh, Humphries, Cameron (I pity the poor sod playing on this guy).
They are going to smack us

He has so many strings to his bow. He can kick straight, has a massive engine and can run all day, he's as strong as an ox, can play fwd, back, mid.  Jet.

It's where we have caused them alot of issues the last few years. They've only beaten us once since their flag in 2022, and that was only by 2 goals when we have 12 blokes out.

But Fraser was playing the kids!  :-[
Couldn've brought in Zac Williams for Byrne. But, hey, Williams is an emergency and Byrne stayed in. Have 6 blokes under 12 games in.

Keep trying.

Why drop Derkson though? What did he do wrong?
Why not Haynes?
