Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Round 18, 2023 vs Carlton at Marvel

[Windy Cindy]

Too timid

Yep shouldnt be picked again.

 

[JimmyBC]

I'd still take a fit Clurey over Jonas to cover for Trent.. we are talking shades of spud though

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

There is also an article out there that our issues in defense in the first 3 rounds was because teams were specifically targetting the Jonas matchup

 

[NickFlips]

Keep it simple.

Out: Rioli, McKenzie
In: Narkle, Jonas

Take your pick of the Fringey McFringe brigade Evans/Burgoyne/Fantasia/Duursma*/Bonner/Mead/Sinn as sub

*not actually that fringe, just coming back off injury

 

[PA88]

If Jonas doesn't come in it would be the clearest demonstration yet that Ken isn't running the show.

True. Particularly if Hinkley has made the call moments after the game that he's picking him and then he's not picked. I didn't hear Hinkley's presser but if he's announced that Jonas is in already then he's a f-wit.

 

[Revan11]

How close is Pasini?

 

[Duck Farmer]

Which is where Hayes lack of an engine gets most exposed as it was at the end of the second quarter tonight - doubled over and out off puff unable to make the sideline contests.

Your av needs to lose the durrie if it wants to compete with the elite avs on this forum.

How close is Pasini?

Delistee candidate.

The ACL has probably ended his career.

 

[PA88]

Delistee candidate.

The ACL has probably ended his career.

He's entered a preseason about 8 months after an acl surgery and playing his first season back. Started this season prior to 12 months elapsing. He's not going to immediately play at the form he showed at the time of injury.

Don’t know why we’ve struggled against this side away. Since the start of ‘07, we’ve only beaten the blues in Melbourne twice (2014 and 2018), so this assignment will be anything but easy.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Drop ken as Carlton have no reckonized coach

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I thought the backline held up really well without McKenzie so I don't think Jonas should come in.

Out - McKenzie, Rioli
In - Duursma, Jackson

2021.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Has Jonas been any good in the SANFL?

No, definitely not.

 

[davesnothere]

How close is Pasini?

Was good on Saturday for the first time in months.

That puts him one up on Jonas.

True. Particularly if Hinkley has made the call moments after the game that he's picking him and then he's not picked. I didn't hear Hinkley's presser but if he's announced that Jonas is in already then he's a f-wit.

From the press conference:

Asked who would come in to replace McKenzie "Tom would have first dibs," Hinkley said. 'He's been playing well in the SANFL'.

'He's always led the right way, he's been the right person to lead the club and if Trent does miss a bit of time, Tom is pretty clear in front at the moment for his turn to take that spot back.'

With regards to the ruck Hinkley stated he thought 'Sam as a young ruck did a really good job for someone with their first opportunity for a long time' but that moving Dixon into the ruck from half time was 'really important to give us some drive around the ball' .

As far as the ruck choice against Carlton, Hinkley noted Visentini's BOG performance in the SANFL but stated that Lycett is his clear first choice and 'we are hopeful he will be back this week'.

Make of that what you will, bearing in mind that about 50% of what is said by coaches at post-match press conferences is predictive of future selections.

It means Jonas In and Hayes out.

 

[all seeing eye]

The thought of Jonas on either Mckay or Curnow is frightening.

 

[TeeKray]

Week in week out we prove that height in the backline is overrated. If you've got a big athletic guy like Aliir then that's fantastic, but big lumbering defenders that can't kick or run are a waste of space, you're better off with slightly undersized guys that can kick, mark and read the play well. Whatever you lose in the very occasional one on one height mismatch (that by the way, even a really tall defender is capable of losing if the ball is delivered well) you gain on the offensive end and then some. In my opinion, accidentally or by design, we are revolutionising what a good back 6 looks like.

 

[bomberclifford]

"First dibs"? What the **** is this!?
Hinkley is an incompetent fool.

 

[davesnothere]

Carlton no Rucks against Freo.

Currently lead by 25 points nearing 1/2 time

Darcy 34 hit outs Jackson 5

VS

Young 4 hit outs Mackay 2

Not expecting Carlton to play a Ruck against us.

 

[Jonts]

The biggest sign to me for the year that there has been a major shift in coaching is if they dont go with Jonas and send Bergman back for Duursma in

send Bergman back

That ain't happening. Bergs started on the wing last night but went back when McKenzie rolled his ankle - dominating against Ben King forcing him to be subbed out in the 3rd qtr with just one touch.

Bergs is a lock for the rest of the year.

As in to the backlines to replace Jonas...
