We’re unbeaten but we’re about to face our toughest test yet…. 2 weeks in Adelaide! Oh, and we’re playing the Blues tomorrow as well. Time to Restump preview podcast the Carlton clash in Crow country.
It’s Gather Round and unless you’ve gone to South Australia to enjoy the festival of footy, it means absolutely Bo Diddley to everyone else. However, it can have its positives, like playing an inform Carlton at a neutral ground rather than on their home deck.
Whether we like to believe it or not Carlton sort of looks real-deal-ish this year. They appear very good down the spine and they’ve added, I hate to use the term x-factor-ish so lets say a bit of spark into the mix.
We go in with an unchanged line up for the third successive week and that is a very rare feat. The irony is though remaining unchanged is out of necessity and not by choice. Given the opponents tomorrow, we’d love to have a McDonald or a Cox find their way in this week…. or a Hamling!
However, the reality to date is that Carlton beat Brisbane by a point, Richmond by 5 points and North Melb by plenty. We beat Brisbane by 4 goals and North by about the same. So, we have each played the same two sides and retrieved similar results. Are they strong stackable form lines? We’ll find out Saturday arvo.
The Blues though are superior to us in goal accuracy and inside 50s. While we generate the same scoring shots, Carlton gets the ball inside their 50 metre arc on average 11 more times than us and they convert their scoring shots, going at 67% to our 56%. They kick almost 3 goals per game more than us from the same opportunities.
Our defence has done remarkable things in the first 3 games, but with our current lack of talls down there, could this be the week Carlton, and more specifically Charlie and Harry, make use of that 11 extra inside 50s? We need an enhanced defensive effort from the mids and the forwards to cut off their supply and help our defenders out.
Either that or…. does anyone have Griff’s number?
Do we attempt to get under the skin of the Blues and into their heads by going after Adam Cerra with the niggle? Given how good a friend he seems to be to many of the Docker boys, it is difficult to see them meaningfully doing so. But white line fever…. do what it takes… leave your friendships at the gate mentality, shouldn’t be beyond us!
We’re testing the competitive waters this week launching the Mi Casa Property Boutique Metres gained competition. So, while it may go pear shaped, tune in to the pod to find out what its about and what you can win. And remember if you’re thinking of buying or selling a home, give the team at Mi Casa a call and tell them you’re from The Restump Podcast. We appreciate you supporting the people that support us and we’ll support you with a little something extra if you do.
Jojo’s promise that he has ‘turned the corner’ seems to be holding up at the moment so let’s get the preview pod on the road before he decides to fire up the junket jet and head off on what would be holiday number 15 this year.
So, join us as we try and pick apart the Blues and look for a weakness to exploit in the hope of starting the season four and zero for just the second time in our history.
