Preview 2022 Rd 22 Carlton vs Melbourne Saturday August 13 7:25PM @ MCG - Team Post #537

[Stig O'Hara]

Agree with you and succinctly put, but I hope supporter expectations don’t over burden & derail our lads.
It would be great if we could win either of the remaining games, but realistically it’s a huge expectation given what our opponents are defending a chance of playing last in the Grand Final, it will be 2 mighty dure games, ahead of us
Go Blues

Think we got to the bye, then started looking at the fixture & projecting wins, when all we were doing early in the year was taking each game on its merits.

Gunna be tough, but we can win this.

Ed: Pittonet must play

Almost hoping Cripps gets 1 week, then fingers crossed v the pies we get back a fresh Cripps, Hewett, Kennedy & Zack Williams

Very unlikely he gets 1. It will be 0 or 2 because if it is determined to not be a footy act the grading will almost certainly be high impact not medium as the player was concussed

Cripps get 2 weeks, dogs lose to the hawks, then the bye - has basically 4 weeks to get himself primed (along with Kennedy, Hewitt etc) then Crippa goes on a month long tear like he did early in the season and we win the flag.....

I also have a jar of magical beans if anyone is after some

 

[Juice030103]

Facing the best contested team in the afl without our 3 best contested ball winners

Just be fit and firing for an all time classic round 23 to get us into finals

 

[Pinnell]

Id like to see JSOS and Stocker go into the middle. And Kemp must play. Time to try something that may well give us a plan B in the future.

Out: Cripps (assuming suspension), Durdin (omitted), Martin (injured)

In: Pitt, Carroll, Honey

Marchy Weiters Gov
Doc Young Saad
Cotts Dow LoB
Fish Charlie Jack C
JSOS Harry Mots

Pitt, Cerra, Setters

TDK, Honey, Owies, Newnes

Love Durds and think he will be a good player for us but he's just not impacting enough at the moment.

Such an opportunity for Dow (think he will go at seasons end but wouldn't hurt his next contract if he turned it on)

One thing I'm not sure on is Newnes as the seventh defender, Could Kemp or Stock do it better?

Why would you drop Durdin?

It’s a fair assessment but still hurts potentially not being in September after we were 8-2

That's the spirit we want Carlton to embody! If you have players out just give up til they return

Stop sniffing petrol mate..

 

[Beyond Blue]

Poor form?

Beat Freo by plenty at Optus and just lost to red hot Pies. Please can we have some of this “poor form”..

Melbourne are 4 wins and 6 losses in their last 10 games just like us but I agree after yesterdays performance it feels a world apart in terms of where both sides are at.

Stop sniffing petrol mate..

It’s actually his most coherent team selection suggestion all year

oi! - I got told I am! make up your mind.............

I agree with you yesterdays loss was so deflating - unless all of Hewett, Kennedy and Williams are available any other changes are almost meaningless in terms of winning - this week and next.

 

[BlueBlood15]

If Cripps is rubbed out (hopefully not), I would consider trying JSOS on the ball, potentially in a negating roll on Petracca or Oliver. Throw Young in as second ruck given the Demons lack tall forwards. It is worth a try given how bare the cupboard is if Cripps, Kennedy and Hewett are all out.

 

[out of harmes' way]

I understand that Voss has been keen to not tinker with players and systems that have worked for us so far. Time has come to change things up.

I would do the following;
Play Saad on a wing. We are playing three wingers for little outcome and allowing Saad to have his influenced minimised by being played deep, or deliberately playing through his man. Give him a licence to roam.

Don't think that you can play both McGovern and marchbank yet in the same team yet.. Too similar and makes us too slow. Hopefully if their bodies hold up next year.

Pittonet definitely needs to be our number 1 ruck. We gave them +16 inside 50's from centre bounces today. That's like fighting with both arms pinned behind your back.

Lewis Young has lost his mojo. Actually looked o.k. as second ruck. Play him as second ruck for 5 minutes a quarter, the rest of the time he plays defensive forward on Lever. His job us to ensure that Lever takes 0 intercept marks.

TDK has a run at full back. They don't have great key forwards so give him a run on Ben Brown.seems to read the ball better in flight coming at him in defence. I would expect him to do as well as young has been in recent times.

Plowman comes back to play on Pickett. Haters gunna hate but surely we are better if we can get Saad to have some influence.

Particularly if cripps is out but regardless I would play Jack S as a defensive inside mid on petracca. Jack is playing angry at the moment and complaining about umpires, people not kicking to him etc. Tell him he's got a defined role. I'd even get him to follow him up forward.

So fir mine it is (hoping cripps is in)

Out - Marchbank, setterfield or cottrell, Dow, Martin

In - Pittonet. Kemp, Plowman, honey.

Sure. Plowman definitely has the pace to stay with Pickett! haha

 

[Sector 7G]

Depends which Pickett turns up. I don't think there is a player in the leagues whose best and worst is so far apart.

Lift your game !!

 

[Zlatan]

You just know the Saints will pull one outta there arse on Friday night and dare to beat the Bears as well.

It’s a tough one; saints are genuinely crap but Brisbane ski downhill like the best of them so no certainties here.
