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

[macky99]

In: Pitto, Stock
Out: Dow, TDK, Setters

Our coaching staff have lost the plot, they have dropped Pitto/TDK/JSos in the past month and they decide to play one ruck who has missed a large chunk of the season against the best ruck combo in the Afl.

Dow is not our saviour but what have we got to lose by playing him not, clearly on the outer while other under performers play regardless of form.

 

[Beyond Blue]

I’m not surprised by the changes as all the omitted players were probably our worst performers last weekend - maybe an argument to drop Newnes ahead of Dow or Setters - but it’s neither here nor there.

As much as I’m not sure Stoker currently has the fitness to play in the middle I wouldn’t mind it if they throw him (and JSos) in there given the outs, and maybe Gov goes forward as we have enough height down back to cover their forwards at least in the size department.

Whichever way you look at it, and even if Cripps is available, we will be up against it on Saturday night so I just hope we give a solid account of ourselves.

I’m on my own here but I’m ok to see a gme without Cripps.

A game yeah, not two

It is a chance for us to learn. We still have a hero player mentality. We learn if others can step up.

I don’t think it is the end of the world. Cripps got no centre clearances last week and a new look might work.

 

[Earls Smother]

Check out those two draft’s, they were pretty average, especially the one where we got SPS. Luck of the draw sometimes, can’t blame SOS for that.

If it's luck why don't you and I do it?

 

[BigFrizz36]

TMac borderline best 22.

Generally kicks 4 or 5 against us. Just for fun.

Most on here think that they should.

I was talking about the quality of players in those drafts. By the way I wanted Fyfe and Shai Bolton in their drafts so I would have nailed a few.

 

[F_therest]

Also what a blow for SOS's drafting credibility when it came to mids.

With all the outs and we still can't fit in a pick 3, or the bloke he bid on with pick 5 (and then picked SPS with pick 6).

Things could have been very different...

Not pretty reading is it. Stocker not being played as a mid by 2 different coaching groups either.

imagine if even just 2 of them became guns...

Thought setterfield was rough to get dropped.
Was far from our worst.

Was surely better than Newnes

Even if we we got one right like LDU we'd be miles ahead.

Can't be changed. Dees ballsed up Toumpas, Scully, Trengove and still got there eventually.

Also, what a blow for Dow and Setterfield.

No Kennedy or Hewett and still get dropped.

It’s what happens when you get 13 disposals unfortunately. Selection integrity

 

[Benaly28]

Fritch Will tear us a new one if someone dosent lock down on him.

If that the case, why haven’t we recruited him?

With the hieght down back I wouldn't be surprised if young second rucks

Isn’t it wet on Saturday night. Maybe the reason.

Coz he can actually play!

64% game time is very slim tho tbh.
His centre clearance to CBA ratio was strong.
We will have cripps news soon so who knows, he could be in

Just need to ruffle his hair and he won't be able to concentrate on the footy for the rest of the game. Need to play him close attention. Doesn't need a lot of opportunities to do damage.

 

[Blue Ratts]

to me the real story is, who goes in if Cripps is out. Thinking Dow misses cos Demons have very hard bodied midfielders. So for mine its either Setters or Kemp in. Either one as sub. Could be wrong but dont think Dow has the body for dees, maybe an in for pies. It looks like an eye on the win, as in I back you so get the freaking job done and an eye on the future. If the fringes cant crack in your spot on list is in jeapardy. TDK excluded, he is for the future. Gonna be huge midfield rotations and see what we got this week.

Been ordinary for 2 weeks, Cotts not much better

Wasn't available. Closest we could get was his brother.

 

[blue89]

Please play JSOS in the guts for a period of time.

Also, I hope we can somehow get Carroll into the team if Cripps is out and have a center bounce line up of Silvagni, Newnes, Martin and Carroll for at least one contest. Surely will be the first time that a Jackx4 have achieved such a feat.
