150 AFL Games

AFL team news: Martin returns for game 150

A milestone for a returning Blue among four changes to the Round 21 team.

www.carltonfc.com.au

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

 

[JJBagger]

Is Cincotta not tagging Daicos and going to play as the 7th Defender?

If we dropped Cowan, to keep Ollie in the side and play Kennedy, Cerra or Hewett back, ill spew…

Cincotta to play on Hill again?

 

[BigBreakfast]

I hope Charlie gets on his bike and moves ffs! Sick of seeing the ball dropped on his head looking for the miracle finish
System inside 50, not dump kicks

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Changes from Round 8 to Round 21

Carlton
In: Motlop, O Hollands, Fogarty, McGovern, Kemp, Martin, Saad
Out: Cowan, Cuningham, De Koning, C Durdin, Fantasia, Williams, Young

Collingwood
In: Bytel, Long, McStay, De Goey
Out: Sullivan, Mihocek, Markov, Harrison,

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Great side.
Barring dekoning, this is the side that I hope can hit its straps and hit form right in time for finals.

Out: Cowan, Cuningham, De Koning, C Durdin, Fantasia, Williams, Young

Collingwood
In: Bytel, Long, McStay, De Goey
Out: Sullivan, Mihocek, Markov, Harrison,

That's a fair bit of net gain for us!

 

[AB_Blue]

Clearly the MC also see why Cottrell is important to our structure, a late pick who has outlasted flaky top 10 draft picks

An in form Cotts makes our bottom
6 much much better, however Cotts is not in from….

 

[lukep_86]

Great ins, we look a lot better structurally, but we also need:

• Pressure, pressure, pressure.
• Clean forward 50 entries.
• Clean ball use coming out of defence - please stop kicking it to the left.

 

[TrueQldBlue]

Apparently we are playing on Friday night.....

Not as bad as many are suggesting and certainly far from our most ineffective

 

[WyntersGame_]

Pretty happy with those changes. Thought it was a little harsh on Cowan being dropped. I thought he's been growing more into his role each game.

But I can understand why he was the out due to structures

Will be interesting to see who the sub is

 

[bigm386]

I worry we will hang Kemp out to dry again on a bigger or taller opponent.

 

[Arr0w]

There are only 2 possible matchups, McStay or a resting ruckman

 

[bigm386]

There are only 2 possible matchups, McStay or a resting ruckman

If he plays on McStay or Cox I'd be sending them to the goalsquare as a mismatch.

He has to play on one of them... Not a fan.

 

[Arr0w]

Kemp can't play on any of their other forwards, so it was either him or Young that remained in the side

Given the match ups, i would have kept Kemp as well

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Changes from Round 8 to Round 21

Carlton
In: Motlop, O Hollands, Fogarty, McGovern, Kemp, Martin, Saad
Out: Cowan, Cuningham, De Koning, C Durdin, Fantasia, Williams, Young

Collingwood
In: Bytel, Long, McStay, De Goey
Out: Sullivan, Mihocek, Markov, Harrison,

Wow... a third of our team is different...

And it's clear the combined 7 we have in this time is more quality than the combined 7 we had last time. Really only missing TDK and Williams.

Team defence is the key here mate...

Don't forget in our second encounter last year they had Cox, McStay and Mihocek and we held them quite well with Weiters, Kemp, Gov and Marchbank...

 

[dumb]

earlier in the year we were quite happy not rushing players back after injury. then we were ok bringing them back after they had recovered but before they'd gained any form. now we're happy picking players in suspect condition without form.
means our injuries are very bad, the wise heads are shit-scared and desperate, or both.

good luck jack martin

good luck jack martin, you're gonna need it.

I think you’ll find earlier in the season all of Martin, Cunners and Marchy were picked without any real time in the 2s. C Durdin too. We also did it a couple times with Cerra too only for him to get re-injured and then left him out for ages, bring him straight back in and watch him struggle for a month. IMO not a great year for our S&C and HP teams.

 

[JustaBattler]

Martin raises the small forward IQ level by a fair bit - but I wouldn't expect him to hit top form for a couple of games at least - glad to see him back in and what a pity Williams isn't in there alongside.

Sad that TDK is out - would have been handy tall to create a third tall mismatch up front for them to ponder and worry about - maybe Cripps can take Pendelubury up there with him ....or Crisp

 

[GoBlues!]

And it's clear the combined 7 we have in this time is more quality than the combined 7 we had last time. Really only missing TDK and Williams.

Also Williams was playing as a defender back then I think and not going so great - so Saad, McGovern and Kemp in is a huge boost to our back six.

 

[Benaly28]

It’s their small forwards that can beat us.

[passmark]

I feel better with Mihocek out. That guy always worries me.

Could be the greatest non-descript footballer of all time.

 

[Blue Reaper]

See ball. Get ball. Kick goals with ball. Stomp on magpies. Pluck feathers.

It’s not hard.

I think Cinc, Saad and Boyd can shut them down. Acres dropping back in defence when required also helps our defence. Leaving Weiters, Gov and Kemp for the taller forwards, and Newman doing his thing.

On paper a better back 6/7 than we had last time we met.
