I'm not saying we play 7 defenders on the field, but we pick 7 in the 22.Probably read this.
Apparently no-one uses defensive wing any more.
Swings and roundabouts: Why are momentum swings happening more this AFL season?
Momentum swings in football have been substantial, and common, so far this AFL season. Why? And how are teams trying to combat them?www.theage.com.au
Setterfield plays defensive wing, but that's not the same as pre 6-6-6 where teams would play a 7th defender rather than a wing.
Not at all, he has done a wonderful job, I understand the reasons behind having a 7th defender atm so you cover yourselves in case of injury or any particular matchup within games…
Personally if we were near full strength with the option of selecting best players available then I’d be putting the best credentialed players in even if that comes at the expense of the outright 7th defender….
Whatever happens i hope we keep playing in the manner we have while improving in areas along the way, whatever the selection/structures we play, I’m not disliking what we’re doing just a different opinion on my behalf…
All good…

You'd imagine he'd be straight back in. Was only COVID protocols, so a 7 day isolation. Providing he hasn't tested positive in the mean time. Was he a positive test, or a close contact?
I'm not entirely sure but I've seen media suggesting he was available after Saturday with a negative test, so I'm not sure where the timelines line up there as I haven't followed it.
With the intensity we've been playing at and the opposition we've been dealing with this could be a flogging in our favour. Time slot and venue swings in their favour a little. But if this was satdee at the 'G' we'd be licking our lips lets face it.
Suns have beaten a hapless eagles? hmm.
GC have been a semi thorn in our side for quite some time. Often due to our own misguided self belief or lack thereof.
This year has already thrown up a ton of surprises. Hopefully this isn't another one.
Cmon baggers. Blues by 38.

ffs he could do his hammy sneezing and based on his history, might be a tad longer than that.AFL Official Injury Update & Injury List - AFL.com.au

Funny, we have Walsh have surgery and be back in one month, McGov plays a game and is a bit sore and ends up out for longer. Balances out I guess.

Went for the Carlton by 21-40 points range in the poll.
Not out of any disrespect for Suns, they usually play well against us, and this round will probably be no exception. I'm just expecting that Voss, assistants and players have been working hard on improvements this week after the Hawthorn game. Betting we'll see a more considered and organised approach to Suns attacking. And not just leaving the defenders to it.

he was listed a runaway success......
I don't think it's been correctly updated. Think all the weeks estimates are from last week.
Yeah, it would be nice if it's comfortable though.

Gold Coast were trying their little hearts out, and Melbourne barely broke a sweat.
Based on what happened last week, I'm not gonna suggest a massive win until I see that we don't lose half a line to injury/isolation, but if we can build an early lead and stifle the Suns' next-quarter-push, I reckon they wilt. They've got some fight in them, but only if you let them capitalise on it. Absorb it and counter and they'll fall back into old habits (boundary kicks, overhandballing etc.).
Yeah, I do think we will win by a comfortable 20+ assuming pitto gets up.
Suns don't have the break neck speed of ball movement our last few opponents had.
Their midfield doesn't bat that deep and their forward line looked very average last week without King, Day and Rankine.
Rankine likely to play, but we should be too good.
I'd be just about 100% certain of a win if we were playing at the MCG.

Comfortable? Watching Carlton play? Is this some kind of sick joke?

Thanks Stamos, at least the AFL publish "something". The Carlton FC website is particularly inept at providing updates and when they do provide updates on injury it is usually bullshit. I should know better.

I think we will have a good day on the GC. I was nervous leading up to the Hawthorn game. Thank the gods for our first quarter!
We have our preferred mids intact and they will only get better. I'm thinking Walsh really explodes and hits the scoreboard. A nice even spread of goalkickers should get us there reasonally comfortably.

Should give us more run, but feels like someone picked the CFC All Australian team...
