Darling trembath larkey zurhaar and coleman all starting? Sick.

The hottest starting player the last 2 weeks is on the pine? Sick.

I dont wish to lose but thats not the best starting 18 on that team sheet. Good to see we are giving it our best shot from the first bounce. Wardlaw Parker and Duursma on the bench? Sick

A GDT started by Gaso can't possibly be bad.

This might seem winnable on paper but there is much that is not in our favour:
  • Xerri out really hurts us
  • Newman and Cerra in helps them
  • They have backs to the wall, we have our internal fragility, no matter how we dress it up

On the plus side:
  • Daniel and Parker proving why we got them
  • BGZ starting to believe in himself
  • FOS already tracking to be elite before he's even out of his teens
  • Backline starting to gel
  • Dovaston will be brilliant in time but Banch in is an upgrade at the moment
  • Larkey is thriving as captain

All of that said, there is no great confidence about this one at all.

North by 2 +/- 60 points 😬

I'd normally agree, but we have old Clarko back - saving them for the all-important 2nd half is Sleepy Al.
 
Pittonet, Cerra, Cripps, Hewett, Walsh. They will aim to make this a contest in the middle.

Wardlaw, O’Sullivan, Powell, LDU, Sheezel will all have to play mature games to ensure we break even in midfield and get the ball out to our runners.

We have more talent and depth. We have a chance to break their spirit.

Let’s see what we’re made of.

Well Anson the gif was meant to be shut the front door it’s morning and the “go early team” hadn’t done a damn thing

At that time of the morning I’m just rebooting the brain so things were kept pretty damn simple.

And George Hewett destroyed us last Good Friday game. I'm more worried about someone like him or Cerra having 30+ possessions. The focus will be on Cripps and Walsh, but we will need a combined team effort to win the midfield. Carlton likes a contested ball game, but it can drop away in the second halves of games, when it finally opens up.

Jimmy Bartel wrote a good article in the age, and these figures show where the game will be won:
