Unofficial Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - RD 4 vs. Carlton. Thur 03/04 @ 7:30pm (MCG)

I think there’s a good chance WHE goes straight into Reefs role in defence, we rotate match ups round a bit and its job done.
Not so complicated or unsettling.

If he does we will be one tall short on the backline
Howe and Moore aren’t enough usually

If McKay doesn't get up I would be totally fine with that kind of a change.

Or, Allan in and Perryman plays more of a true defensive role, and Maynard rolls up to a taller opponent as he has done before.

 

[Kappa]

Of COURSE he'll come back next weel lol

Sounds like him missing last week due to illness was complete bs

 

[Pistol Night]

I hope he does.

Exactly. Their best 23 is still no match for us. Rather beat them without any pathetic excuses like normal

With Curnow not happy about being played underdone last week im thinking there's a divide between coach and players at the moment. Losses are going to magnify it even more hopefully

In that situation without McKay yes no problems but definitely need another tall for most games for the rest of the season

Say what?

Which teams would you be concerned against if we had Moore, Howe and Bruzzy playing as our talls? It's only Dogs and Carlton for me.

Think I feel similarly, particularly with no Daniher nor Hawkins around anymore

On paper - Essendon (Draper, Langford, Caddy)

The major divide is Vossy played in quality teams under a great coach

Langford and Caddy are both somewhat undersized. Would be perfectly happy with our backline height in that match-up

I’m not fussed either way.
Horses for courses and all that.
It’s up to Fly and co at the end of the day.

You'd be worried that Draper, Langford and Caddy would be too much for Moore, Howe and Maynard?

Personally, I'm with Bucks who when they were talking about Collingwood's issues in the Dogs match post Reef's injuries said I don't think it'll matter - Reef's the 4th best in that team for a tall role.

If Bruzzy replaces Reef, I think we gain in terms of the aerial battle. It's losing Bruzzy from his usual role that hurts.

 

[Pistol Night]

Say what?

Voss overruling the fitness staff evidently. One of the main reasons Russell was never the same at Carlton opposed to Hawthorn

Now that's a trio to be feared

I was expecting lockett and Dunstal but not that trio of guns

 

[Kirby]

I think that Draper is perhaps the most over rated player I have ever seen. I don't get the hype.

He's middling at best.

So we can add 3 behinds to Carlton’s expected score.

 

[Bianconeri]

I won't be surprised if Perryman in defence does become plan A. To me Bruzzy in Reefs spot and Perryman in Bruzzy's role is an upgrade on what we began the year with.

Rather than Frampton, I'm hoping we bring in a kid. Ryan, TJ or Parker if Perryman plays mid. Or Allan if Perryman plays defence.

Don’t disagree but I think that says more about what we began the year with.


I’d take a kid over Frampton as well but I’d rather be a kid to has to potential to grow into a Murphy lite role of being the third man in and cutting off attacks rather than a half back.

He has the odd moment of brilliance but he's far from the hype he sometimes gets

Cochrane?

Adelaide, GC and GWS. Carlton don’t really bother me because they don’t have the smalls to scare us allowing the likes of IQ and Houston to sag off with how slowly they move the ball. Those three are tall and fast which bothers me.

Amazing how a mullet helps you get noticed. At least his hair isn’t blue.
