Pitto would have to stay in. IIRC last year Pitto didn't play and Watts mauled us like a Komodo Dragon

Surely Harry plays deep forward and we unleash Charlie to roam wherever he wants. The more often Charlie kicks inside 50 the more likely we are to score.

I'd prefer Charlie to be taking the bulk of shots at goal. Harry not reliable enough but very reliable as an outlet to take a mark on the wing.

 

[Kruezing]

I don’t care who plays where as they both offer heaps close to goal or up the ground … as long as they are not within 50 meters of each other …

Fair point, is Witts going to ruck for 120 mins? If he does, then I agree Pitt would be handy.

Going to be 22 degrees at the first bounce. The team that has the most run in the last quarter will have the advantage.

Hopefully the MC will make the right calls.

Witts probably plays 100 minutes and Levi chops out for 20. Pretty sure that we're going Pitto/TDK from here on in barring injury. Could always sub one off if we need more run. Have heard that we have the best centre square clearance rate in the comp when Pitto rucks. Was vital at the start of Q4 last week.

Everything can change though.

Interesting its fog

Interesting its fog

Carlton website says he hasn’t trained all week due to soreness so he hasn’t been omitted

 

[thylacine60]

fog goes at it hard, get that he's sore...........

Probably just whichever of doch and fog who pulled up worse after a test and run.

 

[Rustica]

Sore back

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Huge game for Motlop now... if he has another quiet one he'll be going out for Fog.

Defense first with Vossy. Reckon it's Fogs spot when he's fit and ready again.

Considering how brutal the game last week was I’m surprised he’s the only one not picked due to soreness.

Yeah but if Motlop kicks say 4 goals hard to see him getting replaced.

 

[DEliades]

King and Sexton in for them who have given us headaches in the past. Must win this

 

[thylacine60]

suns ringing the changes - several players I don't know have been replaced by several other players I have similar knowledge of..........
