Unofficial Preview Praccy Match 2 Vs Saints - This time it’s serious

[Val Keating]

Saints midfield isn’t that bad they just have too many of the same type. Steele, Crouch, Ross, Clark ect are all a bit one paced. Dow at least has a point of difference to those blokes with his bit of speed and agility, while still having the ability to win contested footy.

Carlton’s midfield as much as I hate to admit it is up there in the comp, mainly because it’s so balanced. Cripps at his best is one of the best contested mids in the game, Walsh one of the better accumulating runners and Hewett (severely underrated) is one of the best two way mids in the comp. Throw in Cerra and Kennedy as handy depth options and that’s a pretty solid midfield group.

fair. Hewett Is 28 and I’m not sure how old Cripps is but he’s getting on….
their premiership window is now

How good is it to see 40/43 players available for the start of the season. Only free Archer and logue missing

Looks like it is going to be a depressing year for the Taylor enjoyers.

Yep - just jumped online to grab a couple of tickets and no dice

Whoops.

I’ve got 2 tickets for today but I’m not gonna make it there. Shoot me a DM with your details if you want and I’ll send them your way

 

[Psicosis]

I’ll have both eyes on LMac today. Keen to see his role in Northball. Hopeful that he will be largely defensive and doing the basics well of feeding our good users to exit d50…

Just realised he’s playing 2s

What’s up with McDonald? Is he injured? Could’ve sworn I saw in some training photos.

 

[ansonholt]

So you're saying that the phrase, 'as will will dawson' would be unsuitable in this scenario

I was saying that that's what I was trying to avoid saying, because saying the same thing repeatedly is annoying, as you have said so eloquently.

 

[Chadwiko]

What’s up with McDonald? Is he injured? Could’ve sworn I saw in some training photos.

He was listed on the injury report as 'Reconditioning: 1 week' but that was two weeks ago now.

 

[Big_H]

Spoke to Comben yesterday, he confirmed he’s playing but he wasn’t sure about Corr.

Disappointed that he‘s playing seconds today. I’m guessing it’s all the more shocking for Chom, who was confident he’d be playing seniors.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

If Comben can’t get a game in defence on merit then I am not sure why he isn’t playing at CHF and being the second ruck. I am assuming his fitness isn’t up to scratch due to the co stand injuries?

 

[Big_H]

If Comben can’t get a game in defence on merit then I am not sure why he isn’t playing at CHF and being the second ruck. I am assuming his fitness isn’t up to scratch due to the co stand injuries?

He said that Clarko was big on a squad mentality, and didn’t want to bring in players who were underdone. Hoping he can get in the side soon cos he looks a much better choice than Pink or Biggie long term imo

 

[tales129]

So, is this game for the Mason Wood or Tom Campbell cup ?

It’s the Mathew capuano cup

 

[The Nostradamus]

If Comben can’t get a game in defence on merit then I am not sure why he isn’t playing at CHF and being the second ruck. I am assuming his fitness isn’t up to scratch due to the co stand injuries?

I think it’s more just all players who missed a chunk of preseason like corr, lmac etc playing the vfl game first but I don’t think it’s indicative of round 1

 

[Kanga Glory]

It’s the Mathew capuano cup
