Preview 2024 Rd 17 Carlton vs GWS Saturday 6th July 7:30PM @ Engie Stadium

[tarczonandjane]

I said to a mate of mine last week that we could win the flag (he’s a Lions supporter). As soon as I said it, I looked above to check for storm clouds and to duck any incoming lightning. I felt like I was talking dirty…

 

[tarczonandjane]

Can't have success without disappointment, we used to get told around finals time. If you got good players missing out, it's a good problem to have.
Unfortunately, those that miss will get hunted by other clubs.

Do you think the young folks around here would have heard the name Troy Bond?

 

[Benaly28]

From last time we played:

OUTurdin/Cotrell/Kennedy/Young/Carrol/Pitto

IN:Saad/Mcgovern/Cinc/Fog/Cerra/

Better ins and we beat them last time.

Must have waited until the last minute

The Club had until 11.00am

Sam Edmund tweeted it at 10.55am

He’s the love child of Andy McKay and Justin Murphy;

You can bank on him getting his job done down back.

Beautiful by foot inside 50.

He’s a god -
Love him in our team.

does anyone love Justin Murphy?

I hope not. Don't want him stalking or threatening violence against his ex.

Who does Cincotta take this week? Does it depend on whether Boyd plays or not? Cripps on Green you’d assume would be the matchup in the middle, Whitfield has been nothing but an accumulator the last month, and Newman always plays well on Toby Greene

Josh Kelly. Does a lot for them.

Could argue Whitfield though he's more a winger/back flanker I think we could back Acres/Fantasia to just match up on him - not tag per se just a matchup.

There was a moment in the ‘99 prelim…

Was thinking more about his beautiful kick.

All other bits aside!

Not sure what's up with the Giants. On paper they have an amazing list, just feels like some of their superstars aren't fully 'on' at the moment. Not a fan that all the media attention seems to have turned on them and Kingsley...no surer way to fire up a wounded animal backed into a corner.

We'll probably face a fierce Giants outfit this weekend. We'll need to be at our best to win it. Don't expect them to just roll over when they've been raked over the coals all week.

Cripps is in ridiculous form at the moment though.

Whitfield

If Boyd is suspended, plays as a backman

What's an Engie?

Type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart?

 

[teagueyubeauty]

What's an Engie?

Australian term for energy, because a letter or two less makes a world of difference down under

If Comedy company and Poida was still around, he’d be full of engie

Never heard anyone say "engie" before.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Lot of variables this week.

Kennedy is probably out, Boyd maybe out.

De Koning back?

Lot of players got knocks against the Tigers so there may be a late out or two.

Happy for Orazio today. Has been criticised a lot recently. Hope he can hold this kind of form.

He won't kick 4 very often, but he might. And that's enough for the opposition to have to account for him. Taking pressure off others.

Both rolled ankles. If there's lots of bruising they may miss. Likely just tests

Saw Saad Monday morning, and he was walking fine.

Cottrell in for Fantasia I reckon. Fantasia's form has been building though so I'm not sure if he'll come straight in. I do believe Cottrell is better overall though. Fanta is still poor 1-on-1 whereas Cottrell often wins those 50/50s.

Fanta has better touch and nouse. Cotts better tank, better contested game, and probably a better mark.

No such thing as danger games anymore.Every game is difficult and needs to be treated as such.

The likely:
Pitto (omit) -> TDK
Kennedy (inj) -> Hewett (from sub), Motlop (sub)

The possible:
Saad (ankle) and/or Boyd (susp) -> Marchbank, Wilson (if fit) or Cinc plays back
(can play an extra tall v GWS)
Williams (ankle) and/or Owies (ankle) -> Motlop (Carroll sub). If both, maybe keep Pitto and play 2 rucks.

Cottrell via VFL when he's ready

 

[katmanblue]

Totally agree, I just don't want them to have any reason to snub him again. Best KPD in the comp over the last 3-4 years and they've pulled out excuse after excuse to not select him.

**** it. Let them snub him. He can take the Norm Smith medal.

Not taking any of our remaining games for granted but i see no reason why we cant win all of them.

We are playing damn good footy and we've shown we've got the extra gears when needed.

Improving our turnover game has made us substantially better.

Us and swannies are clearly the two top teams with a bit of gap to the next team.

I agree. Other side should be quietly pencilling in a loss when they play us.
