AFL team news: Six in for Sunday

Carlton has finalised its team of 23 to take on West Coast.

NEW: Cooper Lord, Ashton Moir

With McKay, Curnow, Martin out great chance for Motlop to audition as a full forward.

Definitely bring in Young and throw McGovern to play on his brother up forward if he's actually fit. Or Kemp.

Kennedy to play stints forward and sprinkle in youth of Lord, Binns, Carrol and Moir. Akuei come on down. Fantasia no thanks.

 

[Soapy V]

Surely, in the next few days we will have an announcement or two regarding debutants?

Voss does not like this.

Edit: Will select Young, Fantasia, Carrol, C.Durdin, Binns - but will be forced to pick one debutant to be sub who won't get time on field.

It’s actually smart for once they have written off the likes of Charlie and Harry instead of giving them until Sunday morning to see how they feel…with the flight it’s just not worth the risk

Will be interesting to see what happens next week if we win on Sunday

 

[dumb]

gonna see some new faces and the world probably won't end. finals chances may, though.

wc defenders will be confused who they are supposed to double team, but this will be balanced out by having no idea who we kick to down the line. should be a tight contest.

Smart thing is to back in those boys who beat West Coast and hope Saints are already on Mad Monday mode and give all the injured as much time to rest. If only we had 1 more win like last year we may have afforded to just throw the game as our place was secured in the 8.

Could be the best thing for Voss to just let go and trust some kids, and even for our list managers to make some judgements.

 

[In Harmes Way]

We should look at playing Lemmey this week

As Thy would say…this ain’t no blue light disco

Club will be striving to win next two matches. They’ll treat/prepare for this week like they did every other week.

 

[Jimmae]

OUT: Fogarty, Curnow, Saad, Owies, Boyd, Martin, Pittonet (all inj)
IN: Fantasia, Lemmey, Wilson, C.Durdin, Carroll, Moir, Mirkov

Adding to this...

OUT: McKay
IN: Young

Send Kemp forward.

Ok now we're in a bit of a struggle unless we've done some serious opposition analysis.

Nope. Not even close after last weekend

 

[Beyond Blue]

Wouldn’t it be nice if we used our other available MSD pick on McMahon so we could play the VFLs leading goal kicker this week…thank you Nick Austen.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Are eagles favourites yet?

 

[jj1978]

FB: Cowan, Weitering, Akuei
HB: Williams, Young, Newman
C: Acres, Cripps, Walsh
HF: Elijah, McGovern, Owies
FF: Motlop, Kemp, Moir
FOL: Hewett, Cincotta, Pitto
IC: Kennedy, Carroll, Binns, Lord, Ollie

 

[Soapy V]

What I would do

B: Cincotta Young McGovern
HB: Newman Weitering Cowan
C: Acres Cripps Binns
HF: Elijah Kennedy Owies
F: Motlop Kemp Williams
Foll: Pittonet Hewett Walsh
Int: Lord Ollie J.Carroll Mirkov (Marchbank)

Go small and mobile up forward
Young in defence. Kemp forward
Play two rucks. One can rest fwd at times

 

[BlueLocke]

Young back
Send Weiters forward.
Kemp/Kennedy to play the link up role.
Get Walsh on a wing/outside and just surround Cripps/Hewett with Binns, Motlop, E.Hollands, etc. Let them just play an attacking game.

Pittonet should actually be omitted but the 6 injuries will save him.

Hopefully Voss & co can get creative

Never fear they'll get to work instead.

 

[Kruezing]

West Coast have firmed into $1.96 were still favourites though

Injury list just came out so bets haven't caught up. Tomorrow arvo they'll be favourites.

 

[Kruezing]

We still haven’t factored in the customary Carlton late out before the game either …

 

[Kruezing]

Geez you gotta feel for the WC coaching panel trying to figure out who to tag this week …

 

[Markyd]

Would prefer to see Cripps and Kemp fill the forward void. Agree with a few in the forum Kemp could be a revelation forward allows him a lot more freedom to use his high marking power.

Cincotta needs to be given a tagging role, has played well below his best and needs to be given a challenge.

Opportunity opens for Lord and Binns to show some signs and maybe even Mirkov for Pittonet who has been putrid well beaten again last week. Wouldn’t mind seeing if the big unit can play before his papers are stamped.
