Yer. Wondering if Carroll plays HF or middle, assuming Lord in the middle with Cripps Walsh George.

I’d sooner have Carroll in the middle and Walsh on a wing personally.

 

[Kruezing]

I'm going McGovern, Kemp, Kennedy, Moir, Owies, Motlop and Elijah as the mainstays.

Wow when you read it out loud you realise how completely screwed we are … gonna be a tough day at the office

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Walsh on a win

Take any win right now

 

[Kruezing]

It would be really helpful if the injury list was in alphabetical order …

 

[SolGoodman]

Take any win right now

Walsh on a wing would be a win tbf

Honestly; strikes me as an ego issue that he hasn’t been tried there recently. Like it’s a demotion or something but honestly he’d kill it on a wing.

There's certainly been an element of stubbornness in our lineups

 

[ESKIE]

That’s is one hideous injury list that is carnage

 

[jj1978]

What's our back 6 looking like then?

Newman Young Cowan
Williams Weitering Cincotta

See my post above.. pretty close but I'm debuting Akuei and pushing Cinc as a follower (tag Reid)

 

[incaciawin]

In the history of VFL/AFL has there ever been a game that a team has lost this many high calibre players to injury ?.....and it's not as if we had a healthy list before this carnage either !

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Nice to know that GWS played out a game with 16 players against us because of no rotations once and what do we do with no rotations? We decide to keep a player out on the ground for 4 whole minutes when we were 10 goals down. So ****ing idiotic.

I think you’ll find that they were so far in front they could afford to play with 16 and 17 players during the last quarter.

However I think there was an opportunity missed to rest various players during the last quarter as there no hope of winning the game. 17 players in the back half of the ground would have been fine. Maybe Saad and McKay are saved. Who knows?

Marchbank concussion from two weeks ago. Still 1-2 weeks

I feel the rumours are true that he has retired

[I bleed Blue]

There is NO way Saad is 1-2 weeks with a hamstring since it's his second this year.

2 weeks.

May as well just say season. We ain't making finals from here.

 

[Zlatan]

Due to their desperation to save face and escape any criticism, the club would have no issues throwing underdone and injured players out onto the field vs St Kilda if we have even a sliver of a chance to make the 8. I hope we are not in that position by the end of this week.

 

[carlton_99]

Should've just plonked him forward if that's the case instead of getting him to try and defend.

He did play forward

 

[jj1978]

?

His return timeframe updated today being 1-2 weeks.

 

[Soapy V]

His return timeframe updated today brimg 1-2 weeks.

That’s my point. Was concussed 2 weeks ago and is still 1-2 weeks away. Says to me he is done

 

[slashin_velvet]

As the old saying goes - 1-2 weeks is a long time in footy

 

[myblueroan]

BAd bad dream

Wake me up when September ends.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Marchbank has been concussed twice this season. The first one in the Good Friday match was a big hit. No surprise they’re taking a cautious approach.

 

[heatleystandend]

I don’t care what the injury list is now. As long as they’re all ready to go at the pointy end of the season.

 

[Graffy4242]

In the history of VFL/AFL has there ever been a game that a team has lost this many high calibre players to injury ?.....and it's not as if we had a healthy list before this carnage either !

2/3 of our best forwardline and 1/3 of our best defence...........all gone in ONE MATCH.

 

[Dramoth]

Williams available then

Williams played on the weekend.
