Reckon motlop to ruck?

Obviously if TDK out Pittonet takes the ruck with Harry as back up. If Charlie is out TDK will play forward and as the backup ruck.

 

[Opium]

I was told early in week that Weitering unlikely. Now has until tomorrow to declare himself ready. Still very sore

Charlie I haven’t heard anything definitive

Makes sense Durdin is an emergency.

.

My worry is that we are carrying too many non goal kicking forwards. Cincotta who tags a midfielder from half forward. Cottrell and Fogarty is not inspiring.

Our midfield needs to lift after the beating it copped last week.

Soapy V think this side could run out?

Cottrell has 8 from 10 matches, Cincotta 7 for the season, all in the past 5 matches

Cincotta has been the most consistent defensive forward. I like him, mainly because he's really good in the contest and his kicking is a weapon.

Both probably need a week. Question is can we afford it. I think Voss has tried to toughen players up. You play with injuries and you play well. But there is a line between this and you're injured and playing poorly and need a rest.

A key component of Hawthorn's success was resting gun players. Are we there yet?

How does that work happy for them to miss as long as we win ?

Gets their bodies right. Both seem to have injuries. Curnow has been a turnover point for us the way he is and Weitering apparently in under doubt.

Pretty sure leaving out both Curnow & Weitering out tomorrow is taking the opposition for granted.

Both don't seem to have injuries of significance & maintaining a good position on the ladder is important as going interstate to win finals is a tough challenge.
Manage the list against lesser opposition in the run home.

Weitering is not replaceable in our back half & the Dogs also have two key forwards capable of kicking 4-5 goals each

No Naughton, which is the other one?

That team wouldn’t get within 4 goals of the dogs.

I hope it does, incase we get to see it. Is the difference between 2nd and 11th a couple of players? Maybe, it's a close comp.

 

[Crippa#9]

Disagree, JW yes Charlie no, Charlie has been the worst performing forward in the AFL in terms of conversion from the number of times he is kicked to goals in the last 6 weeks.

Obviously you keep the missing the spare defender which almost every team roll onto Charlie which sees him competing with two in the air at every contest?

 

[Red_man2008]

Alot speculation on here regarding Weitering Curnow and TDK but Voss and Clark both said they training Thursday. Earlier in the week they were unsure but as of yesterday they’re in.

Not sure why we are advocating resting Weitering & Curnow against a team that can be dangerous, this is not the game to do this.
Pretty sure they have niggles, but not serious enough to miss this one.

Darcy is going to be very good, capable of kicking goals without doubt, Jamara is also likely to be dangerous.

Yep.

There are no easy games anymore in the afl.Gone are the days you can rest players against lowly sides.You only need to be a bit off and you lose.

Dogs will bring the pressure tomorrow regardless of who’s not out there.

Fascinating seeing the response to the rumour of Marchy’s pending ”retirement” coupled with his selection this week.
Just a gentle reminder to those who may have forgotten, he was one of our best players in a preliminary final in 2023, less than 12 months ago.

That was one game. Regardless he is not available enough to represent value to the team

 

[Red_man2008]

Weitering - Darcy
Marchbank - JUH
Saad - weightman

Lobb - McKay
Khamis - TDK
Coffield - Curnow

Cincotta - Dale

Head to head in the middle
Bont - Cripps
Cerra - Treloar
Kennedy - Libba
Walsh - Richards

 

[Red_man2008]

When we have Cripps or Kennedy rucking against lobb (second ruck) we will have TDK Curnow and McKay inside 50. How will they stop it unless they prevent us at the source.

 

[Michael Jezz]

It might be a fighting win with late changes but surely we find a way.
Blues by 9 points

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Hearing we will go in as selected. Fingers crossed we do

 

[Blue_Fusion]

They'd be hoping that those 3 will either get in each other's way or drop a lot of marks.

 

[F_therest]

If we go in as selected we shouldn't need Cripps or Kennedy rucking.

This is a rubbish take. A side from last week he has brought the ball to ground and our smalls have scored. Last week H was able to get off the chain due to a favourable match up.We got 6 from our talls which is better than the average return for the season

 

[Arr0w]

If any player is genuinely really sore, I understand we should restt them, otherwise this isn't the game to leave players out

Expecting Weitering to play

 

[Graffy4242]

I've heard the same

 

[windows1]

If you may indulge me for a moment. I have lived for great many a day. Trials and tribulations many. Celebrations too. In the stands and in the seats. I’ve watched them alll come and go.

I’ve mostly cheered. Usually supported. Sometimes let myself down. I once questioned the integrity of a Carlton great who never deserved it. And to him I owe a personal debt.

That man has consumed himself in the lessons of Ted Lasso. In one of the greatest cinematic scenes of all time of (the ‘darts scene’) Ted Lasso tells the story about Walt Whitman who says “be curious, not judgemental”. And he goes on to be victorious.

Well, Walt Whitman also wrote the famous line (about Abe Lincoln) “My Captain My Captain” to which all the students stand on their desks in honour of the Robin Williams character (Keating) in Dead Poets Society. A man they, as I did, let down when it mattered most. He deserved my support not criticism.

I cannot be with you all today. I so wish I was. For if I was I would apologise to you, you great man, with a simple act. I’d stand on my seat and say, with tears running down my face: “oh Captain my Captain”.

For you Patrick Cripps

, are on the Mount Rushmore of Carlton men now.

And soon, as Abe Lincoln most certainly is, you may be the very best of them all.

Carpe diem Patrick.

That Kamis - TDK match-up does look rather delicious, in our favour.

Baku is just 191 cm's, would be giving away all of 10 cm's.

My prediction Tom to kick a career best 6 goals.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Bounce the ball FFS!!

Wouldn't TDK be on the bench when not rucking?
