6 Changes :-

 

[My Hat]

I always thought the sub had to be named from the 5 listed on the interchange. Am I wrong in assuming this or has something changed as I don’t think I can ever recall a player listed on the ground being named sub

Pretty sure it's happened on occasion, but it's rare, so it's usually safe enough to assume the sub will come from the bench players.

 

[Revenant1965]

About to meet the family for food at Southbank, then a stroll to the Gabba. I'll see you on the other side...
Blues by 17.
Have a great day, all...

 

[Arr0w]

Will be at the Morrison Hotel in about 45, can't wait to get this game started

 

[Gointocarlton]

House full of Buebaggers for beers and BBQ, harken send it Blueboys.
Blues by enough.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Just give a good account of yourselves boys. Don't leave anything out on the field. Pain is temporary, glory is forever.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Technically, Cowan should come after Cerra, but isn't named that way... let's see...

Yep so either way doesn't point to him being sub

 

[Horizon]

Plenty of Baggers already flooding Plough Inn event.

Carn Baggers

 

[Jimmae]

Can someone be brought into the team that wasn't named?
4 players break down in warm up?

Not at this point without a fine unless it's the scenario you've just highlighted, which would need to be cleared by the AFL.

The time to withdraw someone was maybe yesterday.

Also some BS talk of TDK as the Sub, he cant be benched or sub as he's been named on the field right? He's either in or out (replaced by an emergency).

 

[Numero 31]

People acting like those dropped helped us win games against finals calibre teams and they need their heads read. Cripps hero balled us to a big win against West Coast and we lost to St Kilda who finished 12th.

Lord, Moir and Binns were only ever filling in whole others were injured. Let's hope they become more prominent players next year. Tonight isn't their go.

Agreed, the kids did well when called upon, but if fit, more experienced players come in. Lord, Moir & Binns showed that they can be players for the future. Train hard in pre-season and they will get opportunities in 2025.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Second to the ball, eh?
Except for 19 times in only half a game, right

Yeah. Exactly. Not great. Only a half? Bit useless the rest of the time. If finals were half length go for it. Whinge away

 

[Zlatan]

If we don’t get up, I’ll be too pissed to post so good luck for tonight and/or next season folks

 

[BrianSetzer]

Go Baggers, nervous but pumped

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

It won't take much for our game to be match of the round the way the other games have gone/are going.

We were supposed to be the weakest link.

Drama isn’t

Agree, but happy for a blow out our way for our game

Charlie at the member's function right now

How is he?

 

[carlton_99]

Also some BS talk of TDK as the Sub, he cant be benched or sub as he's been named on the field right? He's either in or out (replaced by an emergency).

Anyone in the 23 can be named as sub according to the rules. But so far this year I don't think there has been a game where a Carlton sub has not come from the five-man bench

 

[Wickzki]

How is he?

Close to a return but not quite.

Walked right past me. Not limping or anything.

Excited for tonight.

 

[Horizon]

awesome to see Charlie at the function.

 

[AB_Blue]

awesome to see Charlie at the function.

Was he having a few “Ginnivans” ??

 

[Wickzki]

Hopefully this works and is heatable.

Normally I would not say a ruck as sub is not a good thing but in this case it works. Pitto getting belted, we make the sub. We lose a defender, Kemp goes back DeKoning goes forward. We lose a forward, simple in. We lose a wingman Docherty goes wing, Kemp goes back, DeKoning forward. We lose an onballer, Hollands goes into the middle, DeKoning goes forward. We lose noone, Pittonet out, DeKoning in.

While I wouldn't do it, I can see how it would work. Also, normally ruckmen aren't impact players, DeKoning is. He was winning games off his own efforts and was our most influential player earlier in the season.

 

[Arr0w]

Decent turnout, packed inside

 

[Horizon]

Was he having a few “Ginnivans” ??

No ginger beer so left pretty quick.
