Hope Durdin plays. Helps Weitering

I also hope we try Kemp as a wingman or 3rd forward back up ruck. I really like Kemp but he is NOT a defender

 

[Mondyboy]

If I had to guess, Pitto and Carroll won’t play.

It’s between Cuners and Cotts. I think they’ll keep Cotts and hope all the cobwebs have been blown out.

marchbank on field. May as well just say we are playing with 17 on field only

 

[JustOneTime]

Looks like they want to find out with Marchy as they already know what Kempy can deliver.

Would love S Durdin to come in relieving Marchbank to interceptor just to see.

Wonder if Pitto staying in is insurance for a slightly sore TDK. Would rather Pitto play as sole ruck if that was the case.

dislike dropping kemp. Marchy was much worse and way less versatile

Durdin was very good in the VFL and deserves a chance to save his career, especially against his old mob.

Marchbank… well maybe he plays better with another actual KPD. But I’d rather Kemp, even if he wasn’t great last week.

Good.

 

[Benaly28]

Wouldn’t be surprised if they drop Boyd now after that.

Not surprised by the changes

Cincotta plays as a backman

Durdin, Carroll, Pitto most likely the emergencies, Cuners likely sub

Logue in as a defender, Pink goes out, so only 2 tall forwards

Kemp has been awful so not suprised

I’m not completely sold on Kemp but 2 weeks ago he played on Hogan which was just a ridiculous decision by the coaching group.
And there is no way last week he was worse than Marchbank. Marchbank falling over under no pressure was as bad as I have ever seen at AFL level.
That Marchbank is ahead of Kemp is a head scratcher.

Boyd won't be dropped considering matchups

 

[jungojungojungo]

Last roll of the dice for D. Cunningham me thinks.
Gets injured or doesn't earn a spot for next week we won't see him on any AFL list next year.

Good pick-up - didn't notice he was on extended bench

History has shown that if Marchbank is fit he will play ahead of Kemp. Whether people agree with it or not, it’s what happens. He historically takes a few games to get up to speed. Kemp is not a natural defender and I think this shows the MC see that too but he’s had to play back because we have no faith in Young and Durdin and the constant injuries to Marchy and Gov. Kemp should play forward, that’s always been my opinion.

S. Durdin surely plays this week though otherwise we go in with just Weiters and Marchy and I think that’s way too risky.

I don’t like us flip-flopping between one and two rucks depending on matchups. It ruins our continuity so we have to work our preferred setup and quickly. We’ve had all year and apparently the MC are still none the wiser.

I think the bench will be Boyd, Hewett, Cottrell, S. Durdin with Owies as the sub. Pitto, Carroll and Cunners as the emergencies.

I have no words.

Dropping Kemp and continuing to play Marchbank “just to see what he can do” is the type of attitude that will see us lose on Sunday.

What a way to throw away such a promising season

 

[JJBagger]

Wouldnt be surprised if Durdin played, and the coaches want a look at Weiters, Marchy and Durds. Maybe to free Weiters up a little bit? Kemp has been really poor the last few weeks, so I sort of get the omission. Could also just be us trying a different look

 

[Blue Reaper]

Happy to see the ins. Final selection will be interesting. Surprised Marchbank stays & Kemp is out. Even if we tried Kemp elsewhere on the field.

Didn’t realise round 24 had already been played?

 

[carlton_99]

So if the "three changes" post from a very reliable poster yesterday is true it does narrow things down a bit:

We already have two changes confirmed by Carlton -
OUT: Williams (inj) and Kemp
IN: Motlop and Hewett

That means there is only one other change happening and we have 7 other players on the extended bench (Boyd, Cottrell, Owies, Cuningham, Carroll, Durdin and Pittonet).

So for the last change the OUT is either Boyd, Cottrell, Owies or Pittonet as they all played last week. I assume the out is either Pittonet (my guess) or Cottrell.

With Pink potentially out I don't think Durdin comes in. That leaves Cuningham or Carroll as an option. I think Cuningham is the one.

My guess: Last change will be Pittonet for Cuningham

 

[Mondyboy]

Yes, actually, that makes sense.
