That clip of doch in the pool is awesome
His regenerative powers are off the charts
I won’t say it, I’m going to say it
‘Dochpool’

Just a modern day Wolverine with his regenerative powers

He could be the player that gets subbed out.

And if someone gets injured early? More likely than not going on this year

Would you say the same thing if we won, I’m guessing no.

It all depends now doesn’t it. Based off his 2 games, he is a safe bet compared to Cerra and currently playing like a player who has played 100 games and the LM team look like superstars picking him up in the MSD.

If people can’t see how good he is and what he has already done to our midfield dynamic, then there’s no helping them

 

[RedFury]

He could be the player that gets subbed out.

That's the plan - put him on the pine when we're 60 ahead with a quarter to go.

 

[Juice030103]

Think Ollie plays too, most likely replaces Binns

Surely replaces Carroll

Carlton are looking down the barrel against Brissy at the GABBA.

We need to take risks and start pulling some Rabbits out of Hats to win this one.

This is NOT the time to play it SAFE ... We need to RISK ALL and throw everything we have at the Lions on Saturdee night

Being conservative just ain't gonna cut it ... imo.

Carlton have nothing to lose and get a free swing at this .... swing HARD!!! ... and leave everything you got out there

You’re spot on ..& here’s the team to get it done!!!

B Cripps OHollands TDK
HB Hewett Fantasia Lemmey
C Young McKay Weitering
HF Williams Saad Boyd
F Binns Pitto Carroll
R Charlie Hollands Kemp
Int Walsh, Kennedy, Gov, Willo.
Sub Doc - because we don’t want to be silly!

7 injuries in one game and you right the club off from that game?
Every club would have got slaughtered in the same circumstances

We were well on the way to being pantsed in that game before the injuries, if we didn't cop any it just would have been a 5-6 goal loss instead of 12 imo

For me it was the Collingwood game. They ain't much chop this year, if you can't beat them a month out from the end of the season and clinging to top 4 you simply aren't serious - and we're not, sadly.

 

[bourbons]

Charlie TDK have serious injuries that will restrict them. McGovern Williams Cerra are recurring injuries so there must be doubts. Martin is fraglie

Yeah I definitely wouldn't be bringing both Cerra and Martin in. Can almost guarantee one of them goes down before half time.

The question with Jack Martin is can he produce a good two and a half qtrs before he's subbed out for a fresh baby Jack Martin (Moir)

[TheReal99prelim]

Yep. Issue is with Docherty Charlie McKay Williams McGovern maybe TDK coming back who goes out?

If TDK is named, you can be confident Charlie will be a late out

TDK will take part time ruck duties (helping Pitto with OMc) and spend some time as a KPF in Charlie's absence

That's my reading of it

one worth rolling the dice on imo.

Not the knee I’m worried about. Hadn’t played a full game in a season. Home and away match would be crazy without a VFL hit out or two but straight back into it for an elimination final is just stupid imo. No other player who’s had match play and match fitness to come in? Surely he’ll be sub..

Doc isn't an 18 year old unaware of the pressure of a final

Match touch and fitness is a big thing and finals are up another level. 1st couple games of the season players struggle after months of fitness training. I’m not worried about his mental state or knee. Lack of match play, cohesion, patterns… but since the last 7 weeks or so we’ve had no cohesion, patterns or identifiable game plan guess he’ll fit right in.

We're none the wiser re availability then

 

[carlton_99]

I was waiting for the injury report before writing up my preview but seems it won't help much at all

 

[Coops93]

So Doc must have been in training for a while as was reported, good stuff. You'd think he's had to tick boxes for several weeks now without any semblance of a setback to be considered, so while it may seem risky he must be hitting every marker possible and then some. Perhaps not as risky as we thought.

As much as I'm looking forward to his on field return, more than anything I'm excited about his vocal leadership and organisation behind the ball, organisationally we've clearly missed it.

While i get the whole match fit/touch, nowadays, players train harder than gameday

Doc has been in full training for some time, I think he would be the least of our concerns
