AFL Rd 4 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood at MCG

We probably would pencil this in as a loss, considering how we are going.
So far, we win the first half and lose the 2nd by heaps (about a 10 goal differential), and we're not even close to our best.
I'd be dropping Evans: he wasn't a contributor. H? Elijah? Both would be welcome. Cripps doesn't look 100% at the moment. :(
Live Long and Prosper!

We will get smashed.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
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

Was Cripp's effectiveness affected by that heavy landing on his 'coccyx' during the game.
Taking a form line through the Bulldogs with a little more efficiency and a similar effort we are a chance.

had 5 kicks for the game.  Suspect the knock was a contributing factor but 21 disposals handball heavy and 8 tackles suggests he's carrying something.

I said earlier he appeared to have some padding under his jumper.

Looked like a binder to protect part of his abdomen.

Well we might win one or two more after we lose this one and go into the mid season bye with 9 losses and 3 wins.... then what?

Absolutely must win this match.

Whilst this match looks as a must win match, we need to look beyond that point somewhat.  This season is looming as a loser for a multitude of reasons, but currently we need to focus less on results and more about method, organisation and the fundamentals tied to future success.

I've often wondered about our team brand of football, and this is the season to focus on it with so many star players completely out of form (or completely out of the team) and get the systems to stack up for next season.

I'm sick of being a team that relies on a pool of 5 to 10 players to play good footy and would prefer our 20 odd top enders stand up.

I don't want the horror of gifting the whorks pick 1 - imagine the derision we'll cop.  So start winning some $#@ing games Carlton.

I want a side that has outside run and spread.  We have a lot of decent players but none of that, so we get smacked in 2nd halves. Team structure isn't good.

Yep relying on too you few to win games is a problem, our Indians are low quality and we keep adding more .
We are getting to the stage of a rebuild based around the Campo's, Smith, Cody Walker, Harry Dean etc, think we have missed the boat with list management and need a list manager who can pick the right support players and backups for our star players some of whom have faded with over work imo.
