You forgot to add your preview Eastdog.

Sorry about that. I was thinking another poster might do it but if I do start this thread next week again Ill make sure I put in a preview.

If we can bring similar style of footy to last week think we could be a sneaky chance.

Re: Round 20 Bulldogs vs Carlton- Match Preview and Discussion

A quick and dirty preview:

Carlton are flat track bullies this year. The only side they have beaten above them is Port.

I don't really rate most of their backs defensively, but when they play back Walker and Yarran they can counter attack well. Gibbs needs to be watched too. Not sure who they would play on Grant who could really trouble them. Jones and Campbell may mean that one of Henerson or Watson will have to play back.

Their tall forwards are serviceable with Waite back but note no Kreuzner. Morris to Waite, Roughie to Henderson? Picken to Betts to give him hell, Garlett needs to be watched.

Aside from Judd who looks cooked and Murphy, their mids look ordinary. Their relative hard nuts Robinson and Carazzo aren't playing, and Simpson got smashed last week. Wallis on Murphy? Minson should smash them in the ruck.

Conclusion: If we play like last week we can definitely beat this scum, weakened by injuries. Unlike the Swans, Carlton are an uneven side which can be closed down by targeting a handful of players.

They've become quite a flashy side, haven't they. Highly skilled attacking players like Walker, Betts, Yarran & Garlett that can go missing when lacking time & space. Unfortunately, for most of this year we have afforded our opposition more space than anyone.

But give them a hard time and they are ineffectual softies.

4 shots at goal gone begging. Not good enough!

5 behinds plus 3 out of bounds.

Disappointing finishing in front of goal. We could have Carlton almost buried of we kicked well.
