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

[Just Kreuzing]

Who are the other options?

Plow is our best lockdown defender.

Newman ??

 

[Metalcrusher]

Newman ??

I wouldn't call Newy a lock down defender by any stretch.

 

[Accidental genius]

Newman ??

Newman’s role is different. Seems to have a bit of a commander role and go to player for kicking out of defence.

Probably a bit on the slow side compared to the plow.

 

[Juddernaut08]

Plow/Saad probably equal in terms of ability to lockdown a small forward

Doch is average

Williams is poor due to ill discipline

Newman is poor die to lack of speed

I have had a GUT FULL of all these Sunday arvo games . We have 3 more in next 4!

Juts crap,even Collingwood game.

Sort it out AFL. We are one of the big Clubs doing well and we deserve much better.

Might be good for your ALL IMPORTANT T.V. RIGHTS as we get the ratings but the Members/ Fans have to be a priority!!!!

I am glad Gill is going.......Did he even play the game? (not talking bout polo either)

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Blackwell was 24 when he came to Carlton, Carroll is 19 and developing strongly

Another terrific recruit from the mighty (Claremont) Tigers!

He played for Carlton.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

He played for Carlton.

No, he played VAFA Footy with Uni Blues

 

[haveago]

I love Sunday games.

Fair enough....each to their own. Can I ask why?

 

[bigblueboy]

No, he played VAFA Footy with Uni Blues

Was on our supplementary list in the mid 90s - never played a game.

 

[Robertio]

No, he played VAFA Footy with Uni Blues

And Carlton reserves.

Plowman out of game tomorrow (illness)

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Didn’t think I did, was just posing an option for the Rachele match up

 

[Blue Warrior]

All the best to Boyd but surely we have enough Half Backs in the team.

Surely we could've given Dow a run or Motlop his Debut game?

 

[katmanblue]

I work 6 days. Sunday i am free. Otherwise I have to scramble to cover shifts.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Plowman is a big loss, throws our defensive structure out of whack.

MC seem to like Boyd, hope he shows something.....very soon.

Baggers by plenty.

You wouldn't want to replace a defender with a defender? That being said Kemp would've been perfect tomorrow over Boyd.

Dang!

Boyd shows signs in the vfl but looks miles off it in the big league. Woulda preferred some others in (willo, kemp) but whatever, know Boyd is a selection favourite

 

[gbatman]

All of a sudden we are very short in defence. We have 4 third tall defender types on our list, two genuine ones and two make shift ones and none of them are available.

We are desperate to have Kemp playing down back in the VFL so that he can come in and fill this role. I know Boyd has VFL form but I would have gone with Kemp this week, horses for courses, someone who will be able to play the role to some degree. Opens up a big weak spot in our team, their tall forwards all of a sudden find themselves in a one on one contest with anyone to get stand in front of them and come over the top of the contests.

This is probably the week to have the ruckman drop back in defence whenever we can.

 

[Number_9]

Don't see it with Boyd tbh, must be a hard worker but that isn't enough any more. Would've much preferred Willo or Kemp.

 

[Blue Warrior]

We have enough defenders to cover their team they ain't Melbourne and yes I'd go with Kemp above Boyd as well even Williamson.

But from the emergencies they named and in my opinion our mids will be way too strong for them why not play someone who actually has been awesome in

the 2's and earned a run in Dow?

Plus I'd like to see Motlop given a go just to see what he has got pressure wise at AFL level at the expense of Durdin who needs to do more scoring.
