Too many changes for them. This could mean two things:
1- They either don't rate us and are confident will get the job done easily OR
2- They know we will be coming hard and will be desperate to win so they are happy to give us the 4 points given how far ahead they are on the ladder!
I still think they got enough power to trouble us but the game is in our hands.. We can Win it and need to win it
Maybe simply they have injuries and players who deserve to be dropped
I don't think clubs worry too much about the opposition. I mean obviously clubs worry about match ups and stopping key players but outside of these tactical things I believe clubs tend to focus on their own systems and processes and trying to improve these things every week and managing players
You can only control the things you can control

Nobody wants to flirt with form
Carlton are no mugs. Bad teams don't have 3 consecutive 50+ points wins in a row Port , at least their coaches won't be taking us easily. I dare say they'll see this as a bit of a danger game.
7 changes is significant and could unsettle their systems somewhat. But their core mid guns are still there so I think any impact will be minimal.
Dixon out is the big one. Takes away the clear worry we may have had, that is being short down back.
sounds like a plan.
