1 change

IN: Saad
OUT: Williams

 

[Pinnell]

Cripps cops a heavy tag? Send him forward and let Kennedy bash and crash. Cripps will be too big up there for whomever they send to him

Just cannot take a trick. But after the game in WA, doesn't matter.

Keep Kemp forward, hopefully get Saad back and play with the same intent and attack - we'll be a good chance.

 

[Accidental genius]

Mgov hamstring

another injury prone

 

[Soapy V]

Watched replay of WCE game last night and this morning.

Even more impressed with the way we moved the ball, the options and forward handball, switching the ball and our delivery inside fwd 50 was the best I have seen in years

Yes, it was WC but it was an obvious change in game style and focus. Just hope we keep it up. It will be tougher this week but IMO if we keep doing this we will win



PS Watching Cripps his game just looked better and better. WOW what a game

 

[SurreyBlue]

Mgov hamstring

another injury prone

Delisting list is getting bigger every minute....

 

[Coops93]

Play to ruin our finals/chances?
I can see that happening with motivation from their coach.

Not a lot of substance to that for me but I'm sure it'll be the idea.

 

[Soapy V]

Akeui?

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Akeui?

St Kilda less tall forward than WCE? Maybe just reshuffle depending who else is returning eg Saad

 

[Coops93]

Who this Paul character? Never heard of him.

 

[The Fantom]

Who this Paul character? Never heard of him.

Was going to ask the same thing.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Who this Paul character? Never heard of him.

SEN guy (not sure what role) and does a Carlton pod on the side with another SEN guy Nic Negrepontis

Delisting list is getting bigger every minute....

Don't be silly. McGovern isn't getting delisted.
Sure he is injury prone but 22 games last year and 17 this year isn't in the Martin, Marchbank, Cuningham category.

 

[El Topo]

I think Voss accidentally found a new way to play/win based on last weeks win against weagles.

He is forced to play a similar game this week.

But I don’t believe we’ll have the same mid dominance as rabble mids are better than weagles. I think they’ll go all out to stop Cripps…which basically stops us.

Im super keen for the game though.

I think it gives our newish line up a really good challenge. Hopefully they stand to the occasion.

Jack Steele always does a good job, hopefully the coaches can get a bit creative this time round

 

[jimsta10]

last time someone reported he was injured, but it was the wrong McGovern

we wouldnt have this problem if we had two McGoverns.....just saying

 

[Moon]

What's the deal ... lose this and bye bye finals...

We need to win and get 7th above the Hawks

We don't want Brissy at the GABBA again ... cause that won't end well, especially without our A-Team in.

 

[Bluechip66]

if not fantasia, would you

How about Wilson , will do as much if not more than fanta will.. plus get some experience.
We just learned that our youngsters just need an opportunity…effort, desire etc,
or we can just stick with these old broken, non contributors to keep some of you happy.

if not fantasia, would you rather monahan in?

We would get more than a few back for the Finals, probably all our top 10 or close to it.

The bye week would do absolute wonders for us if we make it.

 

[manang magoos]

I believe these are the relevant permutations for the final round results:
Assuming GEE beat WCE and HAW beat NM (and stay ahead on %)...

• CAR win & WBD win - 8th and play BL @ Gabba
• CAR win & WBD lose - 7th and play HAW @ MCG
• CAR lose & FRE lose - 8th and play BL @ Gabba
• CAR lose and FRE win - 9th and miss finals

Can hope bombers beat lions and giants beat dogs and we winby more than hawks finish 5th and play dogs week one of finals

I know I posted a rumour to say Cripps and the leaders were given a bit of a dressing down for 'selfish' play.

I do reckon it looked like Cripps was handing the ball of quicker rather than trying to do the heroics and getting around a couple of players first. I thought you could see at times he thought about it but then got the ball away.

...maybe I was reading to much into it.

One can only hope and perhaps pray for this outcome.

There was a definite change. Why or by who I don't know but it was good to see. I hope it's opened our eyes to possibilites

Also part of the Blue Abroad network. I enjoy listening to Paul talk about the Blues, he knows his stuff

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Acres and guile in the same sentence, lol

I should smack you for trolling on our team board, but the lesson is important too.

Acres left the Saints in 2019 at age 24. He has played more games elsewhere than he did for the Saints. How do you think you know more about him than those who follow him closely at almost 29 years of age, having gone through his peak years since?

You don't see Carlton supporters pretending to be all across Nick Holman and his Gold Coast experiences, just because he played for us way back when.

You need to improve your posting quality.

 

[The Fantom]

SEN reporting Williams and GOV both being assessed and in doubt for Sunday.
