AFL Rd 24 2026 Pre Game Predictions Carlton vs Fremantle at Marvel

Amiss and Switkowski out for them
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
2026-Slow start, we can kick after all, why not?

Apparently three players from their last round team didn't make the flight today.

We have Young and Hollands in for the two injuries, Hayward and Haynes.

So we didn't rest anyone.

Freo is "managing" Amiss, Switkowski and Heath Chapman.

Even with Wilbur and the Fossil out, Freo's hubris means we're in with a decent chance.

Surprised they managed a few with a bye next week.

Surprised we picked hollands. Suppose the VFL side are playing their wildcard this weekend so maybe wanted to keep the continuity with their regulars. Seniors, on the other hand, have a dead rubber of sorts, so maybe Hollands got dropped to the seniors....haha.

Our blokes rested for the first 10 rounds, go hard or go home.
Farewell game for Ollie?

Big outs for us, Haynes has been important mopping up and intercepting, and his ball use is smart
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Also an old wise head that understands the state of play. It was he who pointed out that only a draw was needed, and we just had to play keepings off.

I think with Young for Haynes, we are better balanced.

Last week i suggested Weitering come in for Haynes instead of Young, essentially whats happened now over 2 weeks.

Hope it works.

Kemp needs to play another blinder.
No dropped marks and needs to kick straight.
Then we'll be in with a chance.
2025... Moir of the same to come

Dogs took a while to adjust. They were setting up like we were going for the win when we had the ball, and were confused when we started milking the clock. They eventually worked it out that a draw was enough for us but by then we got to take quite a bit of time off the clock.

Our line-up:

B:   35 Harry Dean   47 Wade Derksen   23 Jacob Weitering
HB:   2 Lachlan Cowan   33 Lewis Young   14 Oliver Florent
C:   13 Blake Acres   9 Patrick Cripps   15 Billy Wilson
HF:   12 Ben Ainsworth   17 Brodie Kemp   44 Francis Evans
F:   39 Talor Byrne   10 Harry McKay   36 Cooper Lord
R:   27 Marc Pittonet   7 Jagga Smith   18 Sam Walsh
Int:   4 Oliver Hollands   29 George Hewett   11 Mitch McGovern   5 Adam Cerra   46 Matthew Cottrell
Em:   21 Lucas Camporeale   30 Jack Ison   28 Harry Charleson

Playing with your form is always fraught with danger. It certainly didn't help us back in the 90's.
But, it is what it is.
Charleson can't be too far away, to be Emergency again.

I wonder which of the Emergencies won't play VFL?
Live Long and Prosper!

Playing for the draw was the right thing to do, and it suited the dogs enough too, but part of me wishes we had the fortitude to go win the game.
