Wholesale changes to the Geelong side after the horrible performance at AAMI Stadium. David Johnson comes in for his 50th match with Andrew Mackie. Brent Prismall comes in for his 2nd AFL game after his first one only lasted a matter of minutes & Matty McCarthy perhaps gets his first game of a few to prove he should be on our list next season. Kelly finally gets the axe after a extremely disappointing season thus far along with Kingsley, Nathan Ablett & the ever unlucky 'Fresh'.
Carlton is a side that we should beat on paper, especially with young Mr. Murphy out. However if we play that frustrating 'hot potato handball' style of football we seem to have slipped back into this season we can lose to anyone on our day. Just I don't think Saturday will be another one of those days.
Prediction: Geelong by 30 points
