MILESTONE: Adam Cerra 50 Carlton games

 

[Arr0w]

Looking forward to what we do with the 7th defender. Kennedy named, Cerra seems likely too. Cincotta seems he will go back to a backline defensive shutdown role

TDK copped a pasting from Briggs, Xerri is no smaller and just as brutal

Forward line has a couple of additions to previous setups, interesting to see if it clicks

Feels defensively safer with Hewett, but interested to see how much mid minutes Carroll is afforded

Prefer a taller 2nd KPD, so Durdin should be able to contain Teakle

Marchbank... if it wasn't so sad, it'd be funny. He's like our version of Gumbleton.

He is our version. Talented yes, could have been anything, but sadly I suspect he’s cooked.

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

We should win this, and win by at least 6 to 8 goals, but I am as nervous as...

No need to worry mate. Actually feeling more confident, by the minute.

Blues by 57 points.

Issue is these days with limited lists and it being such a demanding game you cannot carry injury prone players. It will kill your season especially when you are in the window

Most if not all of Marchbank Cuningham Martin Durdin Fantasia Mirkov need to be gone at years end for purely this reason alone

 

[M_I_G]

Personally was expecting weiters to be a late out for durdin given the focus on durds, so I’m happy it’s not weiters

Touhy could have been a 300 gamer for us...

Weiters needs to go out with mattresses strapped to him, we know the tactics the dirty mutt Clarko will be using.
A leopard never changes it spots.

EFA.

 

[DEliades]

Durdin in is a much better match up for us structurally

 

[Coona Blues]

On again off again Durdin.
Didn’t get through training, now a late change in. WTF.

If he is playing, needs to take Larkey and allow Weitering to play less accountable.

 

[BlueTang]

Cunners is back! Excited to have him back in the team. He would know it’s practically his last chance to stay on the list. Hopefully he plays like a possessed man, and stays in the team

 

[reg_lower91]

Could we wrong, but 5 changes feels like a knee-jerk. Yes, 3 are forced, but I don't think we should've made two omissions on to top of them. Feels a little drastic to me.

Why do we want to make arguably the best key defender in the comp with the lowest contested defensive one on one loss rate in the AFL less accountable? We would be taking away his strength and throwing Durdin to the wolves in his first AFL game in a while.

 

[Cowboyblues]

Dunno what all the angst about our defensive changes is for, the ball won’t even get down there. ( having said that I’m little miffed kemp got dropped just as we bring in a genuine sized second defender).
Look forward.
Jesse is back and along with owies should feast at the feet of Harry and Charlie.
A little bit of silk in cunners( maybe sub), along with cotters/ollie needing to get their hands on it says we should see some great efforts from those two.

Go and belt this lot as they deserve and enjoy the footy peeps.

 

[Juice030103]

Really hope durdin stays in the side. Show size makes him an upgrade and I really want him to do well

 

[carlton_99]

Looks like Durdin managed to prove his fitness today

 

[Blue Reaper]

Genuinely excited to see what Motlop can bring. Apparently was firing preseason and had a very good end to last year.

Combination of poor form and short back up for next week,not to mention of a couple of injuries.

And easy to forget Cunners is only 27. If his body doesn’t fail him, can be a very solid contributor to our fortunes in the years ahead.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Gee whizz we really need to win now to cement our spot...

A loss will be diabolical !!!!

Why do you think we will lose?

 

[BigFrizz36]

EFA.

Wouldn't "gutless sniper" be more appropriate?

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

 

[Rustica]

We will belt them

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Interesting that he didn’t get through training and is still preferred to young and kemp getting a reprieve

Happy for SDurds to get a chance, but this best defensive combination should have been sorted out months ago.
What happened to the continuity policy?

 

[Number_9]

Wouldve loved to see Kemp in so we can see how he goes as the actual 3rd tall
