[Lukeblueboy]

can’t get boydy out of my head selection wise this week for some reason. Do we swap him out for fish?? Or do we leave it alone? Dunno

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Yep. It’s very unfortunate for mine, Boyd’s game would translate well to finals pressure. Would pick him over Fisher without a second thought.

Yes Fisher has been finding the footy but at the end of the day I would take Boyd’s defensive discipline and leave the distributing to Saad, McGovern and Newman. Boyd no slouch with ball in hand either.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Guessing

In Cripps, Doc, Mots, Pitto
Out Cuners, Hollands, Durdin, Dow

I’d keep Hollands, maybe Cincotta makes way.

 

[carlton_99]

He'd be a lock for me but that suspension has hurt his chances massively. Has been out for too long now imo

 

[HaydossJ]

Yuck if Fish plays. Can just see Wicks kicking 3.

 

[HarryFlashman]

Fogarty is playing

Wet weather footy I think he offers more than Cunners, biggest downside is with a wet footy he will barely be able to kick it 30-35m if he gets a shot on goal (which we will likely need)

 

[Blue_Hock]

I feel like Cincotta and Hollands are just the types for a tough finals game. Hollands may be slight in frame but his work rate, courage and willingness to put his body on the line and back it up over and over again has me excited to them in finals

Vossy's presser ...

What they said: Voss' full pre-elimination final presser

See what Michael Voss had to say ahead of Carlton's elimination final against Sydney.

www.carltonfc.com.au

 

[Show_Me_The_Money]

I've heard Pittonet definitely in make of that what you will.

I think it will be....

Ins: Pittonet, Motlop, Cripps
Outs: Durdin, Marchbank, Cunningham (Dow as sub)

There is no way Fisher plays.

Vossy said at his press conference thus morning that pitto is definitely in.

You might have forgotten Doc as an in?

Blues' returning to their recognised two-ruck model in the process

 

[Show_Me_The_Money]

Haha whoops.

Hollands out? Tough to say.

 

[Aphrodite]

Haha whoops.

Hollands out? Tough to say.

Blacres in as well.

 

[Arr0w]

I’d keep Hollands, maybe Cincotta makes way.

Number of possible options, with Mots, Pitto, Cripps, Doc all coming in

Cincotta, Fisher, Fog, Marchbank, Cuners, Hollands, Dow fighting for 2 spots + sub

 

[Stamos]

3 spots + sub isn't it?

 

[Arr0w]

3 spots + sub isn't it?

4 players in, 6 players + sub in contention

2+sub available spots

Think that's right

Are you suggesting what I think you are?

 

[skadoosh]

Is Hollands really competing for a spot? I certainly wouldn't think so.

He's been selected from Round 1 to Round 11. In Round 11 against the Swans he fractured his collarbone. He returned to the VFL for 1 game on 8 July, then was back in the AFL team against the Eagles in round 19 where he has played every game since.

Durdin out

 

[HaydossJ]

There is no way Fisher plays.

Sounds like it is Fish vs Marchbank (assuming Doch plays wing/midfield). Boyd not at Captain's Run.

Doc is coming in.
He hasn't played back since May.
He may be moved back but you would suggest that Hollands is still competing for a spot as to whether we make that move to keep him in instead of Fisher or Cincotta.

 

[Opium]

Pittonet in is a real worry. Think we are one tall too many especially considering the conditions.

 

[Arr0w]

Durdin out

3+sub then
