Changes vs Carlton

[Nuke Fremantle]

Really just a provisional squad at this stage.

Hurn/Hutchings will still have 1 more training session to get through and it'll depend on how they pull up from that.

Not really.

Burn has been named on field and Simmo said he's playing.

Hutch is still a maybe at this stage though.

In a weird quirk, Bailey Williams named for the Bulldogs this week as well

Didn't realise Fasolo was still playing AFL

Tooting your own horn is a superpower. My dog can do it.

you get your dog to toot your horn?

 

[Candiru]

Would like to see Bailey Williams in action.

 

[dogswamp]

me three!
He has some tricks, but cant see it happening unless Oscar is sore. Also with watermelon in the side, we're probably a bit tall, especially on a smaller ground, where his distance running is not as handy as someone with pace.
If Hutch comes in for Cameron, we're gonna be a bit slow. Which isnt really a problem when we have the ball, but if you can't chase/get to position you cant put pressure on.
Also I thought Chee was good in that one game, rather him and bunga come in, Frankie stays and Nelson tags.

 

[The wily weagle]

Is Bailey Williams an actual chance to play?

Would be curious to see what he could do at AFL level

Tune in at 4.40pm on Sunday

I highly.doubt Hutch Watson and Nelson are all in. Why would we go 8 defenders plus a tagger against ****ing Carlton?
Jesus wept has Ross Lyon taken over selection?

Hurn is a confirmed In so one of Watson or Nelson will be out for him. Watson you would presume.

I think the coaches are pretty curious too. They’d know a fair bit about how he goes in training against AFL rucks in Hickey and Vards, and have seen him go pretty well in the WAFL.

But they’d want a contingency plan if Hickey went down. If NN doesn’t get up from his ankle, do they bring in an out of form (but finals experienced) Vardy? Or a bloke with the WAFL form in Williams. I wouldn’t mind seeing him get a game in the next 4 just so his first isn’t a PF or GF in the event Hickey (or OA) got an untimely injury....

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

I’d be keen on giving Williams a run before the finals. Why procrastinate?

In Hurn Williams
Out Schofield Waterman

We are 4 games from finals, why even bother with Williams, roll with what’s worked all season.

The kid is something very special. It's a matter of when not if he gets his debut.

Someone will be rested I can feel it

Shuey please got tagged week in week out

 

[jesterwester]

I’d suspect it would be Hurn for Watson.

I’d actually like to see Hutch given a week through the WAFL & send Yeo to Cripps as a head to head matchup. Cripps is super in the contest but I think Yeo has the competitiveness to go with him, plus the athletic ability to hurt him going the other way. But given what Cripps was able to do without a tag last week (seriously bizarre from Don, but suspect they didn’t have anyone who could go with him) probably means he comes in. Maybe for Waterman or Cameron.

Bailey Williams has impressed me in the glimpses I’ve seen of him. I’d love to see him come in, but it’s hard to see us mixing up a settled group unless we know someone is sore.

What if we need him come finals?

 

[Obeanie1]

Interesting interview with Simmo on 7 Hurn a definite in with Duggan and Hutchings possibly available.

Hope we dont bring in too many at once coming off an injury lay off.

Give Hutch and Duggan a trot in the two's to get a game into them.

Think he's going to be an amazing player....would be very keen on seeing him pair with Nic Nat next year.

Sounds like Hutch and Hurn are back Duggan has a BEagles game in the WAFL Crippa is back next week presumably in the WAFL. Back our strength and conditioning team in to make the right call.

if in few weeks time with all of our boys fit ad ready to go we still have Masten somehow in first 22, I am deadest convinced he has the entire MC and Simmo himself blackmailed.The bar for Masten from now on to just maintain his spot: minimum 35 touches, 30 kicks required, zero turn overs, 5 tackles( that is probably his career total), kicking efficiency has to be 120% minimum, getting caught holding the ball negative 7.

Would be good to get the defence settled.

Try and limit Carlton to under 10 goals.

Are there seriously people who have an issue with Carlton fans being up and about? They went 3-30 in the stretch of games leading into this, and are 5-2 since the coaching change. If they want to throw a parade, who could blame them?

Media might be getting carried away, but what’s new there, just substitute the VFL flavour of the month and that’s a talking point year round. If the supporters want to be happy with the first clear indication of turning a corner in years, well credit to them for sticking it out and all power to them.

I'd be feeling much more magnanimous towards Carlton supporters if we weren't playing them this week.

We'll win, but I think they'll run us.

Afterwards, more power to Teague and co. Especially in a week against the Tigers. Let that be the fairytale.
