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

In celebration of a long-awaited return:

A reminder of how good a contested grab he is.

Caleb Markbank?!?!

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Would love to see him given a run on the wing, has all the attributes to be successful

Can he run all day like our other wingers?

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

I read somewhere that Marchy was touted as playing on the wing,
One of Calebs many strengths is roaming the ground covering distance, could be a real weapon.

 

[Pablito]

I'm pretty amazed by his output at *.

I always thought he was a spud of such giant proportions that he could have prevented the entire Irish potato famine....

Hasn't kicked a goal in 2 matches. 2 goals a game as the maim target isn't anything to write home about. He's good. Not great.

Holy shit, that’s huge

Appropriate for this week - who was the last coach to get Carlton into the finals? James Hird.

 

[skadoosh]

Are final teams out tonight or is it tomorrow night?

Tomorrow night, Thursday night teams tonight.

I love Marchy, but his kicking can be VERY hit and miss...

This is one of my prevailing memories of him too. Hopefully it's been sorted to a degree.

I remembered he was a good mark but that video showed me how many were back with the flight. Didn't cop many big hits but wasn't frightened at all. I hope he hasn't lost that because of all his injuries.

In celebration of a long-awaited return:

Very nice.

Cant wait for our next game to see more of this.

I see he played even when Simon White was still with us. Seems so long ago.

 

[katmanblue]

Yep. So a few of us better get warmed up and ready. I'm quite good with the old run and carry.

Not short of a gallop, but have trouble with incorrect disposal.

His kicking was hit and miss true, but a big part of that will be resolved by gameplan.

We only really need him to take 3 types of disposal:
1) Switch kick - there's room for error here anyway
2) Pump it long down the line
3) Hand it off to a streaming runner

It's the 4th type that gets him in trouble when he tries to bring it back to centre corridor and misses his man.

 

[no fate]

Harry McKay will play against Essendon.

I was just going to post a theory on this. Been getting a strong feeling he was in the frame to play based on 1) rumours 2) unusual quiet from the club 3) let's be real, we really bloody need him back.

Hope your post is based more on fact and less (like mine) on feeling. Also hope he is good for 3-4 team lifting goals vs hated enemy on Friday night.

Sure making him kick safer alleviates the penalty somewhat but he still shanked them from time to time. Wasn't as simple as missing a target, it was off the side of the foot type shanks.

Fair enuf. My memory is fuzzy given it's been almost a decade since we last saw him play.

system is now better than it's been since the late 90s - players know to kick to a location not a man, trusting a teammate to be there, part of the reason we've been able to succeed despite the huge injury list.

Judging by what Weitering said on SEN about Young having to be our key defender for the next few weeks, I doubt Durdin plays this week, time will tell.

He also said he’s penciling in WCE for his return, depends how the body is feeling, could be an earlier return too.

 

[Aphrodite]

Yes Marchy

Welcome back

Have my hopes up for an early return. He is normally a pretty durable player so might have some Walsh like recovery skills.

 

[jj1978]

With Marchy now in, is that 39 or 40 we've used on our initial 2022 list this year?

 

[Accidental genius]

Based on the post in the injury thread about H playing this week - Is this believable?

Can that injury heal in the short time he has been out?

The guy has no track record so I'd take it with a grain of salt. Who knows he could've just read the twitter rumours and posted it as fact, Faucon-styles.

My understanding of a lateral meniscus surgery is that the recovery time is generally 6 weeks, but - he appears to be WELL ahead of schedule. To be in full training kit running around and jumping suggests to me that he has had a very good recovery. He'd be an absolute outlier from my understanding but not so much so that it becomes implausible.

Welcome back

Didnt realise his that tall...noice!

Fingers crossed for Marchy - could he be our David Astbury
