Prediction Changes: Round 17 Vs Carlton + pre-match discussion

[ilikepotatoes]

Out: Fyfe
In: Brodie

We are primed to lose this one in the middle. They've got big bodies around the ball which we've struggled against.

Also their Carlton and we just know they'll up their game against us.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Shut down Acres, shut down Carlton.

 

[DragoDelph]

Not enough being spoken about Aish’s shocking game.

Kicks it straight to the bulldogs going inside 50, then they rebound.

Out: Fyfe, Aish.
In: Erasmus, Worner.
Sub TBA

 

[Taylor]

We aren't out of it yet, but we have to bear Carlton. So don't go into development mode until at least after the game

Out: Fyfe, Freddie
In: Banners, Sturt

 

[Kram]

If we drop this one and even I'll start to melt.

 

[Taylor]

Losing to Carlton at home is 0.99x as bad as losing to West Coast. Beating Carlton at home is currently 1.5x as good as beating WC.

This is a big game.

 

[Mr Cheese]

If Fyfe stays in it has to be in the mid. He can't kick a set shot and isn't quick enough to pressure, so pointless as a forward. In the guts he's still got strength and great footy IQ, makes others around him better in a sacrificial role. I'd like to see Banfield back in that mid-sized forward role, or Sturt.

I actually thought we were the better side last game, just couldn't get on the end of stuff and then some interesting choices around the final centre bounces sealed it. Should be a tight game, which we should win, but probably won't for some reason or other.

What I think is the team needs the excitement that surrounds a debuting player.

And by that I really mean that I do.

You’re so right. Karl Worner come on down. I’m getting bored

Only my opinion
I think Fyfe is out for a few weeks.
I’d like to see Brodie given 3/4 weeks in the middle as a see ball get ball player again like last year.
I didn’t think he should have been the scape goat at the beginning of the season like he was.
The whole team was off
Bugger the defensive angle let the other guys be a part of a team
He’s 193 cm bull
I’m sick of seeing our midfielders playing behind or to the side of the opposition midfielders
Darcy is in great form
Drop it to his 1/2 m arc forward get Brodie to get it
Then spread
Outside of serong Brodie is the best below his knees and has great hold and vision with his hands
Carr backed him in and utilised his strengths
Corey is …

 

[DragoDelph]

Throwing a theory out there. Brodie and the club spoke preseason about him driving the legs more, and bursting through the stoppage.

Now this would require a change to his his S&C, right? Long term play, in order to rebuild him, we must break him.

 

[Sturty2Hurty]

I’d love to see Kuek in for one of our smalls. Something different.

Ok I hadn’t heard that
but it makes sense and fair enough
I think it’s an important thing to remember
the club looks to be strategic on this build
they are playing a strong long game over 5 to 10 years
our players are young by elite standards but what they build together as a unit the next 3/5 years is going to be fun to watch

 

[WhoneedsMcLeod]

Carlton by 42. We are fragile.

 

[Righteo]

Carlton, on the other hand, are well noted for their mental fortitude and resilience.

 

[King Huskii]

Why is Fyfe contracted for another two years?

He can't dispose of the ball anymore without turning it over

Naturally, they are just starting to play well when they are about to face us.

Especially off one step which seems to be his want at the moment

 

[sherrif]

If Fyfe is out for a couple of weeks I think that helps rather than hurts our chances.Which is not a good thing when its a player his age and he's just got an extension.

Who would you play on Curnow?
