Preview Rd 15 Carlton vs Richmond Friday 10th July 7.50pm @ MCG - Team post #416

[TeeJay Blue]

Interesting to see that Sam Rowe has been held back for Fields. He is an emergency.

 

[Royce Hafey]

Cripps is better than Cotchin, I have no doubt.

I admire people of faith.

 

[HARKER]

Seems pretty obvious that Fields will start this game with Tutt as the likely sub.

................along with clarity of mind.

Really didn't pick Fields coming in this early in the piece but again, weight of performance has given him the chance.

 

[Cringle]

Would Whiley be on deck for Cripps?

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Intriguing team selection, rather bold by Barker, I like it.

 

[ShanDog]

Call me pessimistic but geez I will be nervous for Fields when he takes his first kick in. He's been talked up a bit in the media after those hhhhhhuuuge barrels in the twos and no doubt they will focus a spotlight on him during the game coverage. Really hope he doesnt shank one with nerves!

Bet my house on whatever dill commentator we get creaming their pants the moment he picks the ball up in the goal square...

I'm more worried about Fields/White on Vickery tbh.

Good news that Cripps and Dre are good to go. Bummer that Doc is not and Graham is out but Carrots, Gibbs and Menz are good ins.

Better team than last week by some margin but not enough to win the game IMO. Will be competitive.

Rowe not selected is interesting. I suppose with Griffiths out that leaves them a bit shorter up forward but Fields or White against Vickery...not sure about that.

Boek dropped and Tutt retained is the only selection I don't like. But having said that Boek has some work to do yet and maybe he is best off doing it in the VFL. And Tutt may have upside. Heard that he is a confidence player so maybe he will have a good game and improve because of it. Obvious sub for mine but.

 

[Cipher]

No thriving on Barker's faith for those three.

Great minds think alike BM123.

 

[LanceRomance]

The team changes email would be much better if the players that were out had sad faces and the players that were in had happy ones.

Fieldsyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Strawberry Fields for ever !!!

 

[BM123]

Can't complain about the changes. Hopefully Docherty and Rowe are fit enough to play next week.

Smart emergencies by the MC as well. A inside mid, KPD or runner if needed just sitting there.

 

[P_Crippy]

I like how this team is beginning to get it's own post-Judd identity. It's been reflected in Murphy's last few weeks and younger players taking more responsibility. Like it.

Fields doesn't strike me as the type who'd be awed by hype or anything like that.

 

[FoeverBlues]

Guess we know who's going to doing the kick ins. Can't wait for the footy public to see Fields' left peg.

as good as Watto, HBF?

 

[HBF]

Reckon he kicks it further than Watto.
Wouldn't mind betting Zac might take the kick in's to Fields who could genuinely launch it 70m.

More betterer than Watson I reckon

Rowe playing for the Northern Blues on Saturday.

If Hampson is their ruck we should win by 50.

Sucks Graham is out and Cripps if he plays won't be 100%. Just happy Graham showed what he is made of in a string of games and will be with us going forward. Was worried he would get the axe at year end with the way things were going under MM.

Still think we have a good shot this Friday.

Not really Hampson = out Wood. Oh God, I just realized Casbolt is your main forward lol

you won't find many around here who would prefer the Hamsandwich over Big hard Wood

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

We have a banter thread. Keep things respectful in this one.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Surely there would be doubt about Cripps and Everitt playing, late change maybe and Rowe in??

 

[Sin City]

I like the third tall defender in even with Richmond going a bit shorter. Very important to always have a third tall for coming in over the top in a marking contest, intercept marks etc.
