All Carltonians should be anti Sheedy.
He hates Carlton with a passion. More than Collingwood.
He's our enemy, so flog them on the scoreboard I say. We've got the team to do it.
Backline looks strong and fast. They're the Scrooges of the AFL.
I will miss Warnock, but glad to see Kreuzer is getting another game under his belt.
Hampson should have a field day if we kill em in the midfield.
Should be able to cover Judd in the midfield with Scotland and Robinson in there with Murph and Simpson (good luck big little fella), and I hopr Gibbs has a dip there too, whilst Curnow, Ellard will wax the grunt work, and Armfield and maybe Lucas and Joseph give us leg speed on the outside. Midfield is still very strong without Judd and Carrazzo. A good and deep unit.
Waite too can be covered against the GWS with Thornton fitting into the lead up marking role. Hammer and Kreuzer will be a great target at FF. Beware Sheedy when to ball hits the deck...they're like seagulls with the speed of the road runner. Sheedy will be road kill.
We are missing a lot of players from our top 22, but thankfully we aren't facing the toughest task:
Those missing from our best 22 imo are Judd Waite Carrazzo Yarran, Laidler and Warnock. Amazing group to come in.
I'm expecting a thumping in the vicinity of around 100 pts. Serious.
This is GWS first game in Melbourne, ever. They have many missing.
Setanta and a few others haven't played much, so they'll be rusty, old, mainly too young and inexperienced on a very fast track against bigger bodies. No Chad to smash either.
If we kick straight we could possibly win 26.10.166 vs 9.6.66.
6 Walker......he will get close imo
5 Hampson......he will get close imo too
5 Betts.......he will get close imo
3 Garlett
2 Kreuzer
2 Gibbs
2 Murphy
1 Robinson...maybe a few more single goal kickers.
I may be thinking too far ahead, but I'm sure the players have their heads screwed on.
It has been a sombre week for the boys. A reality check. This aint no party. This is about our pride and power with Sam Rowe in the back of their minds.
4 pts and %%%. That's what I want.
