Preview Changes v Carlton - Rd 5, 2022

[raptalia]

Ross put this on the Covid update thread.

 

[Capital Power]

Thanks for the info Ford. I will not be posting a 'like' for it though.

I guess Covid was going to rear it's head sooner or later. Let's hope no one else tests positive between now and Sunday.

Just another excuse they'll trot out on Monday .

 

[ibd77]

Listening to 5aa on the way, all substitute coaches who have taken over sides this season due to the head coach having covid has won so far.
Then a I yelled damn...Hinkley hasn't had covid yet.

[SureBuddy]

omg did we actually pick a team that resembles some sort of structure with talls!?

If the 4 to go out of the team on the bench are McEntee, Mayes, Skinner and Dumont / Motlop, that is a huge improvement on what we have been rolling out.

 

[hammo24]

Alir back already?

I smell a desperate Hinkley trying to keep his job

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Best team of the year so far actually looking huge on paper

 

[davesnothere]

Yeah we lose and Aliir breaks down Ken would want to be packed and ready to move on.
Maybe Lycett is ok with a jab as long as Hayes is still in the line up after tomorrow night.

 

[TeeKray]

Doesn't matter what happens in the back line or midfield, the forward line still sucks and will keep on sucking until Dixon is back. We aren't capable of kicking a winning score unless we dominate a game to an extent that is barely possible.

 

[JimmyBC]

I don't think Hayes will play, I expect they'll go Finlayson & Aliir as chop outs.

 

[missionpossible]

Wines and Jones out so we bring in 4 tall and a forward pocket.

Hinkley is just coaching for an end of year pay out.

Go Carlton

Huh? Literally almost everyone on here complained about playing no where near enough talls. We bring in talls and you complain?! These changes are the best all year by a long long way.

Because weeks ago we lost / dropped several talls and replaced them with short people.

Those short people are still in the lineup and those talls are coming into a team with an extended bench, I doubt Hinkley picks all of them.

 

[afl2004]

Wait til tomorrow before making judgements , stupid Sunday extended bench squads

 

[JimmyBC]

I read it as Skinner insurance if Aliir doesn't come up & Hayes insurance if Lycett doesn't.

Don't get excited is all I'm saying.

 

[PowerLil]

I'm don't think Hayes will play, I expect they'll go Finlayson & Aliir as chop outs.

Apart from one sentence in the Port 'In the mix' article saying Lycett under an injury cloud, no one from the club has mentioned it. Pathetic again. Our management of injured players is horrendous. I'm with you re Hayes. One armed Lycett will be made to ruck against Pittonet and De Koning. I despise Hinkley.

 

[backtozero]

Hayes won't get a game til both Lycett's arms fall off.

 

[Visenfest]

I can deal with losing as it hopefully brings us closer to Hinkley being sacked, but if Aliir injures himself again because we brought him back too soon, I'll be pissed.

Hopefully they go against the grain & Hayes debuts regardless of Lycett's injury, but it would seem unlikely if he's fit given history.

 

[Hot Port]

You just knew that Hayes won’t play.

And watch Aliir gets injured again because he’s not ready yet

Lachie Jones was rushed back after 4 weeks last year after the same injury / operation and did his hamstring.

 

[elpirate]

Watching Hayes live vs South last week, he didn't look up to it at the moment.

He doesn't look fit.

Admittedly Neither does most of the squad

 

[sobrave]

At this point what ****ing harm could it possibly do to give Hayes a game or two?
We're expected to lose anyway and everyone is going shit. Maybe he'll show something?
