will play his 150th game in the Navy Blue guernsey - the jumper he grew up wearing as a supporter - as Carlton looks to continue its strong run of form from recent months.

Last weekend’s sub, Ed Curnow is the sole omission from the Round 22 team: he has been named as one of four emergencies alongside Jordan Boyd (now available after suspension), Sam Durdin

Put him in a cage with Crippa for pre game warm up ??

 

[jezza25]

Suspect it would have been Gov had he been fit. Marchy probably next option but I'm not convinced he should hold his spot, he was very poor yesterday.

Yeah agree Gov would have been our best match up.
Big concerns for me.
What about Kosi ?

 

[jezza25]

Cinc, all Italian battle to the death. Don’t think Cinc will win but he’ll die trying, he’s strong enough to at worst slow him down. Think a tough match up will bring out the best in him too

Like it

 

[Red_man2008]

Newman - melksham
Cincotta - chandler
Weitering - van rooyen
Kemp/Marchbank - smith
Fisher - Pickett

When Pickett has a ball
Mover runner on him his game goes to water.

 

[jimsta10]

We are not likely to get a top 4 spot.

We will need to win all our remaining games and Brisbane or Port would have to lose their last 3 games.

Lions: Crows (Gabba, haven't lost there all year), Pies (Marvel), Saints (Gabba)

Port: GWS (Adelaide Oval), Dockers (Optus Stadium), Tigers (Adelaide Oval)

Not gonna happen.

98% here thought we won’t be playing finals.

Just saying….

 

[Jeremias]

Yeah agree Gov would have been our best match up.
Big concerns for me.
What about Kosi ?

Saad to start on him IMO. Maybe Cincotta.

Fisher on him would be a disaster.

 

[JustOneTime]

Fisher vs Boyd is an interesting thing to consider.

Boyd is better defensively but offers zero attack despite his supposed elite kicking (metres gained is one of the lowest in AFL).

Fisher 550 metres gained vs Saints. Boyd couldn't get close to that.

Does Voss want a stopper in Boyd or creative player running out of the back half. It might be Fisher for Saints and Boyd for Dees as they are different propositions.

I dont know myself. At least Fisher can find the ball unlike Boyd.

 

[reg_lower91]

IN: Boyd, McGovern*, Silvagni**
OUT: Fisher (unlucky), Marchbank*, Pittonet**

*if fit

Van Rooyen = Weiters
Pickett = Boyd
Petracca = Newman

Should be a cracking game. Looking forward to it

 

[Sam The Doc]

IN: Boyd, McGovern*, Pittonet**
OUT: Fisher (unlucky), Marchbank*, Silvagni**

Weiters = Van Rooyen
Tomlinson (assuming he comes in)= Kemp
Pickett = Boyd
Petracca = Newman

Should be a cracking game. Looking forward to it

Wuuut?

I am trying to crack your code but..

Gov comes in if he is fit for Marchbank, but... did you mean to put Silvagni and Pittonet the other way around?

 

[JustOneTime]

JSoS for Pitto
Walsh for one of Dow, Fogarty or Cottrell based on Vossy's matchup plan.

I'd watch Fisher for one more game before deciding on Boyd as a replacement. Who would want to lose 30 possessions, 3 tackles, and 550 metres gained without seeing if he can back it up.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Who takes Petracca when he’s forward. Tough match up

Cincotta or Newman.

 

[Red_man2008]

IN: Boyd, McGovern*, Pittonet**
OUT: Fisher (unlucky), Marchbank*, Silvagni**

Weiters = Van Rooyen
Tomlinson (assuming he comes in)= Kemp
Pickett = Boyd
Petracca = Newman

Should be a cracking game. Looking forward to it

No chance fisher gets dropped.

Good changes. I'd tweak it slightly to be less confusing.

IN: Boyd, Pittonet*, Voss, Pittonet**
OUT: Fisher (unlucky), Lebron, Silvagni (Ben), Pittonet**

Yeah this one makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying !

 

[skadoosh]

There's no way we put Fisher on Pickett! Fish playing his 2nd game in defence against their most dangerous small? No thanks.

We better go with Boyd, not Fish then.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Lots of people with Boyd straight back. He’s missed three games, not even playing VFL. Fisher was excellent on the weekend too. Can then them making him earn his spot back.

 

[Michael Jezz]

Great week to be a Blue, walking on clouds- taking in every minute of this.

 

[JustOneTime]

It is a good point.

Does that mean JSoS can't get back in? It's typically a choice of 2 of those 3.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

J.Boyd in for the role on Pickett
S.Durdin in for Marchbank

Someone within the starting 22 to be sub, not Dow, Ed back to reserves…
