Matt Kennedy – 100 AFL game milestone

Matt Kennedy will run out in his 100th AFL match when Carlton takes on GWS today. Arriving at the Blues in 2017 through the Trade Period, after playing 19 games for the Giants, Kennedy's natural overhead ability and repeated efforts to dispossess his opposition are defining traits of his game. A Blue until at least the end of 2025, Kennedy is a much-loved and well-respected member of the side.

[Chief]

My tipping has been unbelievably bad this year.

Tipping Giants by several kicks, so Blues will definitely upset.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Not sure what GWS' injury list is like, but no Doc, Cerra, Saad, Gov, Fog, Martin or Silvagni.
Marchbank, Cuningham and Motlop possibly available. Walsh only one game back for the year and Pitto also one game back and only playing 50%ToG last week.
Cincotta, a potential replacement for Saad, didn't play VFL.

Full strength it might have been a 50/50 game at best (I probably still would've had GWS faves), but with the above, I'd expect GWS to win by 3-4 goals min. All we can hope for is an upset.

 

[Chism]

We get within 3 goals i will be happy.

To many outs now to cover them all and the blokes that do come in will be raw as anything needing game time etc.

Early close wins have glossed over the fact that we are a bottom half of the 8 team with maybe a slight chance of sneaking into the Top 4 via percentage at best but that is not even that crash hot as we fail to ever put teams away.

 

[Thrawn]

How the hell are we favourites??

Giants injured and don’t travel well

Giants injured and don’t travel well

Don't think that should make too much difference. Giants are a hard running, fast and skillful side, which we can struggle with ala the Cows on the weekend, and opposition teams have worked out you can just put a couple extra numbers behind the ball and make us bomb wildly inside 50, so unless Harry or Curnow take a freak high mark, spill ball, repel and run like buggary the other way leaving our one paced midfield in their wake.

Would take a lot of gameplan changes by Voss and co to fix that this week and its even harder without Saad and Mclovin who are a couple of our pacier and skillful kicks out of defense.

Footy can be a funny game I guess but I think we'll struggle. Really would love to be surprised though.

 

[Robertio]

Blues by a couple of kicks, Cincotta and Marchbank possible ins and could be a good time to catch GWS.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Giants injured and don’t travel well

I thought they were known for travelling well. How many times did we hear how they won in every venue last year? Giants can win if its played on Mars.

It’s a myth

 

[Cmarsh]

Taylor is a big out.

 

[Arr0w]

GWS should be raging favourites for this game

 

[carlton_99]

Taylor is a big out.

Taylor is a big out for sure but we will have about 14-16 on the injury list this week (7-8 probably best 23 at the least)

 

[Bagger72]

Way too much talent will be missing for the Baggers will be digging deep for 30-35th player on the list this week.

 

[Colonial]

Cogs and Taylor out is massive.
We can win but the Blues loss to the Criws should put a firecracker up them.

 

[RAPPA]

Giants by 8 goals. Gonna be a painful 5 games for the blues coming up.

Carlton are favourites (just).

Walsh came in and was better than Cerra, and Carlton coped without Walsh okay. One primary midfielder absent is manageable.

Saad, Gov, Martin and Doc as a group is tricky to cover. But there's still Cripps, Walsh, Hewett, Acres, Weitering, McKay and Curnow and some other capable players, and its at home.

GWS will have a hard time with their listed injuries from the last game as Taylor, Cogs, Kelly and Briggs. Niggles and/or absences, they won't be at full strength.

There's no underdog for this one.

Grand final 2024 preview

And this match will be a DRAW

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Giants by 23

 

[JustaBattler]

A bit of "hope knocking on faith's door and no one is answering" feel about this game....

my happy thought is ....


(I've got nuthin)

 

[mrmagoo]

I'd like to see Binns and Cowan get a run against GWS. Week after week they are in the best 4 of the VFL side.

 

[Cam Payne]

Blues run of losses started last week. Orange by 30.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Carlton still have 2 of the 3 best forwards in the game. That loss will wake them up a bit

 

[The 747]

Giants to win. Blues are pretenders.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Giants need to win this. Blues fans have the arrogance of B2B premiers having won nothing.
They badly need humbling.
