As the week has gone on my mood has changed from dire and defeated to excited to see how we respond and whether the group can galvanise.

Further we're going to have to change how we go forward, can't just kick long to the big boys we need to actually think before disposing. We've long lamented lack of alternate playstyle or creative selection decisions, well we've been forced into it now so I'm excited to see how we adapt.

A win here would be huge in galvanising the group. Pressure creates diamonds so lets see if we can do it.

Jack Carroll coming in to play against his future teammates? A lot people in the know believe he's gone at years end and it will be WCE

I'm ok with this, the better sides do a lot of trading out, helps with more frequent list turnover. Geelong would be the kings of it. Unfortunately we have been losing a lot of players due to delistings. I'm happy to trade out quite a few and go really hard on that, depending on what is coming back out way.

WC have been into Carroll since we drafted him, hopefully he enhances his value on sunday

 

[The Bighouse]

They have to try something with Kemp. He is not cutting it in defence. I'd put Young back and throw Kemp forward - 100%

Like to see BK on the wing that can help out down back & offer a marking option forward centre.
Acres up forward as pseudo CHF that can take a good mark and could be a dangerous, mobile target plus ground ball efforts.

 

[The Bighouse]

Young & McGovern could interchange.
If only the 1 debut, should be a flip of the coin between C.Durdin & Fanta for the sub, though if fit. AF may be favoured to get a full game (until injured).

 

[DangerousD]

Bring Young in to play CHB and move either Gov or Kemp up forward, bring in Lemmey or Moir whichever is more ready.

It’s great to see Lord get a crack as well, I’m not overly confident but we must go out swinging.

 

[Blue Reaper]

Has anyone seen Arrow? Hope he’s ok.

 

[carlton_99]

Has anyone seen Arrow? Hope he’s ok.

Yeh was a bit concerned as well. Hope all is well

 

[Blue Reaper]

Can’t bounce the ball without him, FFS.

 

[The Fantom]

Newman Wietring Cinc
Walsh Young Cow
Acres Cripps Hollands
Moir Kemp Hollands
Williams Gov Owies
Pitto Hewett Lord
Int: Kennedy Binns, Fantasia Carroll
Sub: Mots

That’s the best I could do. Kemp and Gov forward and Walsh to get some easy ball and run off from the backline.

Young to the backline and hope like hell he plays a good one.

[passmark]

If they make Lord sub I’m not sure I’ll be able to deal with it.

 

[Chamber JJJ]

We better play a real forward up forward not a False Alarmer like Young, Mcgovern or Kemp that a defenders or in Mcgovern case hasn't played up forward for years. This is why you have to play Harry Lemmy and draft him to the frontline after 2 years in training he was recruited as a forward 3rd in line after Mckay and Curnow if Tom De Koning

also out. The midfielder have to just win the middle kick it to him and all he need is to use his height and lead and the smalls and medium do the ground work. Carlton Football Club don't go West without a tall Forward Lewis Young

just can't handle it down forward unfortunately.

 

[Chamber JJJ]

If Pittonet is still playing we have to bring in young and lemmey. We can’t be going to Cripps and Kennedy in the ruck majority of the game. We also can’t have zero tall forwards when young rucks. So pitto has to learn to play from the square and Lemmey needs a call up.

Exactly i reckon it be a bad mistake if their is no real forward we will be kicking to statues or non recruited real tall forward.

 

[Chamber JJJ]

Bringing in Fantasia who hasn't played in 4 weeks is asking for trouble

Exactly he better not be in not playing in the 2 that never goes right Durdin might after playing a game but i would prefer Moir in for Fogarty but i expect Durdin will get the call. The last pick would be Lemmy like i said no Curnow no Mckay need a real forward.

6 In 7 in if Pittonet rested

Lord
Binns
Carrol
Young
Durdin
Lemmy

Moir if Durdin not fit enough
Alex Mirkov in to keep Marc Pittonet honest

 

[Manhattanite]

Bringing in Fantasia who hasn't played in 4 weeks is asking for trouble

Fantasia (if deemed fit) would play a unique role that I don’t think the others have experience in playing - the lanes that Cottrell runs (in a thankless role) took time for Fantasia to learn and help contribute with the spread and with how we move without ball in hand (as well as with ball in hand). I don’t think it’s wise to ask Walsh to play that role. Only other option is Hollands tries that role and Walsh or Elijah tries the wing instead. But practically speaking it’s easier to let Fantasia play that role this weekend.

All the best to our new look team and any debutants this weekend.

(Hopefully the teams skills are the polar opposite to my Photoshop skills)

 

[Thrawn]

Oh Lord
Please be our saviour in these Dark Times
May your exuberance inspire those around you
Let us pray
Oh Lord

I wonder how different the role is to what Moir has been doing in the VFL recently?

 

[Benaly28]

Pretty sure Durdin will be sub if he plays,was on managed minutes last week.

Selection Blues: Multiple debutants could face Eagles

Carlton is running out of personnel as its finals campaign hangs on by a thread

www.afl.com.au

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Has anyone seen Arrow? Hope he’s ok.

Really enjoy his input, been a very notable absence for mine. Really hope everything is okay.

 

[Bluechip66]

Durdin or Fantasia?

Hopefully neither…durdin not ready, Fanta not good enough.

 

[Red_man2008]

Only 28 players to choose from tonight so expect a large selection of debutant players to be in the squad tonight.

 

[TheBlueCampaigner]

Has anyone seen Arrow? Hope he’s ok.

Mods might have him in locked in the dungeon with Thy.
