Preview Rnd 4 - Carlton v North Friday 7th April 4.20PM @ Marvel

[agro]

Refer Gabba experience of Stephenson vs Plowman . Do not want a repeat of that. 3 goals & he was completely out of form.

No, Lachie Plowman is a quality senior player with loads of experience and is extremely reliable.

 

[GinTonic]

Dunno about that, minus LDU North looked bog ordinary against the lowly Hawks.

Could have said the same against GWS after being smashed by WCE. I reckon this is a huge danger game and we cannot take them lightly. Clarko will be keen to see a response after the Hawks loss.

I know we’re pissed with LoB, but he always looks lost when he plays a bits and pieces role.

If Acres is sore, LoB gets the wing. And if Ollie is sore, Fish - who again is always better when he plays a mid-type role - get the other wing.

And then it’s Kennedy for Owies. And Cinc as the sub.

So in: Kennedy, Cinc (sub)

Out: Owies, Acres

If Holland is out then add Honey. They clearly have next on the pecking order (even if I feel his form hasn’t justified it).

Player stats from VFL below. Not that stats are everything, but can't see Honey in at the moment, and unless Cuningham was on managed minutes, likewise. Cincotta seems to be putting a case forward...

Were you impressed by Honeys 5 possession VFL game to warrant selection?

Despite being undefeated our percentage is 7th or so in the league after three rounds. Need to take advantage of playing a poor side without key players and build on it.

Now can you tell me why we are currently above both Sydney and Essendon on the ladder when we have the same amount of wins but less percentage?

He played less than a half game.
Still doesn't warrant selection.
Dow was slightly down yesterday, but he's still the VFL form player.

I’m not sure how you can underestimate the importance of building a strong % when we missed finals on it last year. Tigers are a chance to be players come September so I’m not buying that a draw completely eliminates the percentage concern.

Also every chance another finals contender plays in a draw at some point this season too.

1% apparently

He played a half. But I did say he hasn’t really justified selection.

North are saying Logue could get a suspension
Also Acres for his late hit 40sec before end of game

 

[azlou]

What are the chances Walsh plays?

Nothing to worry about in my opinion. Is genuinely trying to get across to smother the kick and there is incidental contact

 

[Mr_Plow]

We have Lachie Plowman waiting in the VFL specifically for this match up.

Isn't Stephenson the one match-up that Plowman really struggles with?

Lachie can take Elliott, but Stephenson causes him major issues.

100% I think he tried to smother and Daniels accidentally ran into him and Blake braces with his stuffed shoulder.

Amazing journalism once again by Jon Ralph.

 

[El Topo]

This be another spiteful contest, need to win the fight like we did last year and the result will follow

 

[RPCB]

Something, something, danger game.

Check out Melbourne’s goal kicking today against a good team in Sydney.

If we want to elevate to the next level and compete/beat these teams our conversion just has to improve.
Our blokes just have to start taking the responsibility … NOW !!

Doesn't the draw make percentage pretty much irrelevant?

ok, it's boring now and you're confusing the noobs.........

Except for Richmond I would think at this stage

How did Pies go with similar conditions, Lions, Hawks, Cats, Suns, but nice cherry pick

Pies annihilated teams the previous two weeks so they already had a healthy %

Nothing to do with their conversion against the Tigers, nor the other teams I mentioned that had poor conversion

And, many in better conditions

Binns a big chance this week.
