Should really rename this the Paddy Dow v Melbourne thread.
I’m sure his selection will be debated all week again after we get confirmation all of Hewett, Cripps and Cerra are out.
 
the fresh blood with a bit of hunger could help stop this lot from dropping their bundle entirely. you get the sense that a huge loss is just around the corner.
or the incoming players could be that slightly less better in a way that it won't matter how passionate they are and we get smashed anyway.

i don't have anything to add about selection. i doubt melbourne will be too concerned about how we might present at ball ups or bounces as they'll be busy running their race knowing they have systems in place that already work. we should be a little more unpredictable at any given time though.

i have a few concerns about what happens on the training track. the talk of no time for goal-kicking practice (from what i've read on here) is a bit alarming. what else don't they have time for? might be worth trying the 'let's try desperately to win in the last quarter' at an earlier point in the game.
 
This has a hiding written all over it.

Things are only going to get worse

At least I get married the next day. They can only ruin my Friday night
congratulations. hope you have a great day, and awesome life together
 
Pretty obvious ins and outs

Ins Dow, Fog, Plowman, O’Brien or Binns, Fisher

Thinking it could get ugly if we get them off a loss.

Then thought, who do you think the last team was that thought 'shit we've got Carlton off a loss'.
 
That will be the softest team Carlton have ever esembled

1. While I can respect it reads softer compared to the current 22 on paper, no it's not the softest Carlton team ever - not even in the last 20 years - nor is it soft in the context of recent performances from players already in the team and now exiting out.

2. Given the only names available outside the emergencies will be Plowman, Mirkov, Honey, and a raft of kids, what's your alternative 22 that's going to clearly and better withstand Melbourne's gamestyle in a series of direct matchups?
 
I think Voss will be forced to ask Dow to come into seniors....

I think Cripps will want to play even though he's going to be sore, especially with the outs we will already have
Injuries and suspensions will make selection a lot less suspenseful. I wish we could see more omissions.

Melbourne have too many big men up forward with the spare ruckman, Young back in.
I've picked Dow in my team but I doubt he will get a game.
Docherty back to permanent defender please. No more Kennedy HBF.
Durdin dropped to sub. The three smalls aren't working. Use Kemp or Cottrell or anyone else really as an extra forward, the current mix isn't working.

Ed wasn't too bad, and I also don't think he did too bad of a job on N Daicos either but our season is over. He won't be here next year, let's move on please.

We need to find a way to release Saad! It is killing us having him subdued in the back half. Get him the footy at every opportunity.

Out: Cerra (susp), Hollands (inj), Newman (inj), Hewett (inj), Curnow (Sub)
In: Fisher, Binns, Cincotta, Young, Dow


B: McGovern Young Boyd
HB: Saad Weitering Docherty
C: Cottrell Cripps Acres
HF: Fisher McKay Motlop
F: DeKoning Curnow Owies
R: Pittonet Walsh Kennedy
I: Binns Cincotta Kemp Dow
Sub: Durdin
