Preview 2022 Round 8 Carlton vs Adelaide Sunday 8th May 4:40PM @ Marvel Stadium - Team Update - Post #689

[Schoonerman]

Will take the liberty of including Williams and Hewett injury permitting.

In : Williams Hewett Dow
Out : Stocker Newnes Cottrell

Docherty Young Plowman
Saad Weitering Williams
Walsh Cripps Cerra
Martin Curnow Durdin
Owies McKay Silvagni

TDK Hewett Dow

Kennedy Fisher Carroll Newman

SUB : O’Brien

RB I like it

 

[Coops93]

If Williams isn't ready, Willo gets a call up.

Has been producing the goods in the 2s. And he's a terrific niggler.

 

[Arr0w]

In for stocker and shuffle the magnets around a bit to make it work

I don't think so

Again, Dow is limited to only one position, one that we have an abundance of in that area.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

I’m confident that Adelaide have no answer for Curnow or McKay. I’m also confident that our midfield smashes theirs, except for the ruck where I’m equal parts confident that TDK will get hammered.

Carlton by 103

Bar Cripps or Cerra missing a game, I think the next best shot Dow has would be replacing Kennedy. If Dow can transfer his ressies form across to the seniors, then I don't think there's a great deal between them. Dow more dynamic at stoppages, Kennedy a bit more involved in general play and with a better understanding of defensive positioning - both getting good clearance numberss but in different ways (Dow with burst, run and carry, Kennedy bringing in the outside mids by hand).

There's also the difficult to measure element of connectivity. Dow is getting silver service from Mighty Mirkov in the reserves, while in the seniors he'd have to be roving the opposition taps more often than not. And how well does he complement Cripps, Cerra and Hewett at the stoppages - not just theoretically/on paper, but on the first-hand viewing of the coaches.

There's also still some doubt in my mind on whether Dow has the confidence/maturity to come into the seniors and play the same we he does in the ressies. It would be great to see it happen, but I worry a bit that he'd instinctively defer to the established senior mids and end up playing a hesitant and reactionary game.

I think you might be forgetting the game against the 'stains last year where he had a bunch of clearances in the first quarter before Pittonet punched him in the head and gave him a concussion. If his confidence is boosted from his reserves performances, that would only help in his assertiveness.

Not to mention that Voss' ethos is all about everyone having/getting a go, and for others to support their teammates when it's their turn, regardless of who the supporter and supportee are.

Other than the fact Bam Bam is naturally much harder at it and can play forward AND is a terrific overhead mark?

Other than that, I agree.

ps hope Paddy makes it, but that may well be elsewhere...

Carrol will become our hard skillful winger who runs through the centre a bit like Wayne Blackwell did in the 80's

Just not in game number 2.

this sounds a lot like the strategies employed by coaches the last few years, move players around into roles they are not really suited just to fit guys in, that didn’t seem to work

the rest of the competition the last 10 years seemed to go with let’s win games by playing as a football team and sometimes a few play a role because they have been trained in that role

 

[DangerousD]

I'd be quite sanguine about giving George another week off. I think most here know that i've been a longtime big fan of his, but quite frankly i'm much more relieved that Young is available this week than maybe George taking another week to get a niggly calf right.

I reckon we've got ample coverage for him this week, with all our other current mids up and firing, and now with Carroll and a hungry Dow ready as well. Fish played better up higher in the middle of the ground this week too. Our mids are stocked and all in form to rip the Crowbots over here.

If George has the slightest niggle, rest him again. Very important to have him back in ripping nick the week after. Of course, if he flies training this week and he's fine, then play him this week though.

Edit - Blue Balls said pretty much the same thing at same time.

Never ever heard the word Sanguine before, you learn something new every day.

For what it’s worth, JHF’s ‘junior level’ was playing playing for the Glenelg seniors in the SANFL from age 16.

He plays for the Panthers - South Adelaide. With Bryce in fact!

And only played seniors in 2021, mostly as an 18yo.....

“So that’s Charlie to half forward, Dow to the centre, and that just leaves…
Fish in the ruck.
Right let’s start again...“

 

[Shambolic]

I wouldn't try using it generally, I think this thread would be better off ex-sanguinated.

 

[morningbrown]

So another late Sunday game.

Terrible when you lose on this time slot.

Even worse when it's replacement buses on your V Line and the trip home will be 2 hours

well then, lets not lose! simples!

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed the entry gate for Legends Lounge,reserved seat holders to this match is not the Gate 5? Around near gate 5 at Marvel there's alot of construction going on maybe the reason we have different gate access to the ground?
Last week we went in through our normal gate 5 this week on our ticket is says enter via Gate 7 which is nowhere near our seats.
Strange.

Loved Blackwell. Hard as nails. Great team player. Would be rapt if Carroll could play that role.

Mine was gate 7 last week when it's always been gate 5 in previous years. We're in Aisle 34 on level 2 which is probably in the dead middle between the 2 gates. The construction certainly made exiting the ground to the station a bit more painful than normal.

Shit. We'll have to be the first team to beat a fill-in coach this season.

 

[Manhattanite]

Based on precedent we are guaranteed a loss now...

Interim coaches are 6-0 this season

But we will be lucky number seven

I'd like to swear now. I admired Burns when he played. Tough. Consistent. In his own way, inspirational. He will push Crows players to play at their best. But we should still win...
