Preview 2022 Round 13 Carlton vs Essendon Friday June 10 7:50PM @ MCG - Team Post #1538

[Arr0w]

They are mids and not wingmen in my view.

Cerra is basically a replacement for Murph, like when Murph was good.

Which I have acknowledged. Brayshaw at the Demons was viewed in a similar way, then they asked him to embrace the wing for the betterment of the side

BYE | Essendon | Richmond | Fremantle | St Kilda | West Coast | Geelong | GWS | Adelaide | Brisbane | Melbourne | Collingwood

bolded games are travel away.

Marchbank should be ok for Richmond
Harry is 3-4 weeks away so should be ok for Fremantle
Pittonet is 4-5 weeks away so should be ok for St Kilda
Weitering should be good to go for Geelong.
McGovern should be good to go for Geelong

If this pans out we should have close to best 22 available for the last five games as warm ups to a massive finals push I am thinking we get to 13 from wins against Essendon | West Coast | GWS | Adelaide | Collingwood

If all fit and firing we are 50/50 chances against Geelong | Brisbane and Melburne

Unfortunately Richmond/Freo and Saints get us undermanned.

No need to say how important the Essendon game is in overall context.

Harry is progressing well sneaky chance for the Bombers will play against Richmond.

I see us knocking of the Richmond and finishing on 14 wins chance.

Weitering is the big out for our back six and team - he organises everything, gives those around him a lot of confidence and rarely loses a contest. Midfield needs to really get back to domination - and that wont happen with only TDK trucking one out and Cripsp having to play as a faux ruck - that has been the difference since Pittonet went down - otherwise Carlton's midfield domination would have been THE AFL story in 22.

Fingers crossed - the 8-3 start is proving to be very important - 9-3 would be even better.

Marchbank should be ok for Richmond - Agree, he should get a full game in for the 2s when the 1s play Essendon. Passes that, good to go v Richmond.
Harry is 3-4 weeks away so should be ok for Fremantle - Possible. We should get a better idea after the bye (per club update this week).
Pittonet is 4-5 weeks away so should be ok for St Kilda - Club update says mid-July, which would be the Geelong game. And expect a game or two in 2s. Aim for Adelaide match.
Weitering should be good to go for Geelong. Yep.
McGovern should be good to go for Geelong. Club update is 6-8 weeks. Again, he'll need a week or two in the 2s. Aim for Brisbane match.

I don't see any 'gimme' games coming up. We're going to be up against it over the next month, with Essendon getting close to their best team back, and will stretch us with talls up forward. Richmond, Freo and Saints will all be tough with our injury list.

 

[portaz]

West coast big danger game.. Away and lots of senior players will be back.. Ryan, Rioli, mcgovern, potentially nic nat..

Can only hope they have put the queue in the rack by then and playing the kids.

SPS with 40 touches, 800m gained and 6 goals to get them the win....

 

[Blue__Balls]

The good news is - we can plan for the outs we have.

No surprise that every loss so far this year has been when we've lost a key player in the first quarter.

But by the time the following round rocks up, we've adjusted our personnel and plans and then got the wins.

We dont see any gimme games because we have always been the gimme game.. I think we're still in the old frame of mind now.

Bombers we should pants.. our midfield alone should win the game
Tigers is 50/50 if Lynch doesnt get up. If he plays were definitely up against it
Freo unfortunately very tough with backline injuries but H could be back by now so would need to kick a big score to win
Saints if wieters is back and no more Key position out this is 50/50
Eagles should be a win, but as mentioned away and they will get players back
Cats maybe big pitt is back, depending on form i'd back us as not at cattery - injury dependent
Giants in Melb should be a win
Crows away still should be a win
Lions away tough
Demons tough
Pies - 10 goal win to potentially secure top 4 or worst case a home final against a travelling team like Swans or maybe even Port/GC

Of the 6 top 8 teams we play, just need to win 3 of them, and then only drop 1 of the other 5. That gives us 15 wins. I'll take that this year...

Next 5 years we get 16-17 for top 4 each year

Do yourself a favour and expect a loss in those three games - and take no more injuries as a bonus to ease the pain.

 

[Kernafides]

I messed up the inside 50 1 inside 50 mark compared to .4 is hardly an aerial threat... particularly when fish averages more marks

 

[El Topo]

just on Stocker. I got slaughtered on here last year for bringing up his below average kicking and it has honestly gone backwards again this season. I know his kicking was a big reason for being recruited but I could not seriously believe anyone who has just watched his AFL career highlighting his kicking as any sort of strength at an AFL level.
Maybe it’s a composure thing but atm it’s pointless talking about it as a strength of his.
He is one of my favourites so I want him picked every week but atm I would have him miles behind Newman.

Newman is a good comparison - both are technically good kicks who often bite off more than they can chew

He averages a contested mark a game essentially especially considering he hasn't finished half the games he's started. Martin was great aerially at the Gold Coast. He played at least one full season as an intercepting half back. Not thinking he's good aerially suggests you need to reassess.

Gold coast was 3 years ago...we can agree to disagree but I don't consider 1 contested mark a game for a guy who has serially underperformed with us an aerial threat.

 

[spry]

The coaches know carol better than all of us.

I wouldn’t mind him getting the vote of confidence to stay in the side which will possibly help his confidence more than dropping him.
Is an interesting one. There’s only one way to learn the pace of The firsts

Love that summary JustaBattler.
NB. I was under the impression, McGovern was out for a lot longer. I Would love to be wrong on that.
The other point, is that these timeframes are usually optimistic view to help the fans.
They often drag out a week or 2.
Sam Walsh being the obvious exception. Because he is a wonderful freak of nature.

Ye.....domination story of 2022......
i prefer a logical a systematic build via systemic training via Voss and assistants
we actually need to stay off the radar in 2022....and not loss our heads
take time to to this bindfolded via the management
better we stay lower end of the eight....we should have taken the Pies....next time will be a different story
We can take the enemy tho...we will need the 4 pts to sustain our top 8 role in 2022
our mid engine is quite good...Hewitt/Cripps/walsh are getting very high stats every week.....this totally excellent and looks sustainable,Kennedy also can sustain some of his performances which is great while Cerra would still be building and also quite good most of the time
to seal the deal we need Setters with a tank and Lob further improving on "THE WINGS"......our wings are some of the weakest
our defense has been damaged for a while...good job we picked up L.Young !

[4flagsin5yrs]

but not a marking 'threat' in the forward 50 unless he gets on the end of a lead. not really a pack mark sort of guy which i would class as a marking 'threat' in the f50

He certainly can take a contested mark..

Suggest he's been instructed to not fly against Harry or King Charles...or even SOS.

And that's fine.

Crows are also AWAY

Good pick-up - makes it a harder game ...unfortunately

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Sam, Sam and Sam will almost definitely play in this game, but Sam won't.

A chance that Will will, Will won't, Willo won't and Willo unlikely.

Durd in, to join Durdin.

Jack's a gun but Jack needs a VFL run, Jack's back but Jack's been called a hack.

Lochie's probably a lock, but Lachie maybe not, and Lachie's lost the plot.

 

[Arr0w]

Wouldn't surprise if both Durdin and Hayes come in for this game

 

[Blues_fest]

Motlop needs to go back to the VFL and learn not to stop chasing as soon as your opponent gets a metre in front of you.

Looked pretty lazy out there against Collingwood at times.

Agree.
