Preview Rnd 10 Carlton v Adelaide Sunday May 25 4.40 pm @ MCG - Team post *686

[Bailey01]

He didn't beat Murph. And Cotchin is the easiest player to tag.

Murphy didn't exactly win that battle. He negated his influence

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Danger field should probably tag army not vice versa
Ellard and army
The balls of CFC

Yep and since Fev left we no longer have the dick!

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Cornes, Crowley, Curnow, Guthrie are miles ahead of Macaffer and that's just off the top of my head.

You clearly haven't watched much of Macaffer this season.

 

[Cringle]

LOL! Macaffer the best tagger in the league! What the actual ****!

 

[Cringle]

I have. And really is behind all Cornes, Crowley or Curnow before injury.

 

[Bailey01]

I never said that, I said arguably. Don't put words in my mouth

 

[HBF]

Good! Might be able to do it then

He has played on Danger previously and has done a pretty good job.
I'd give the job next Sunday afternoon.

I know that, but I didn't know how many games he played in the NB's before he got the call up on Monday night.

If he wasn't 100% fit, I'd question whether giving him the job on Dangerfield was a good idea, that's all

I agree BB.
He's had enough games at VFL level now that his match fitness will be good enough to go with Dangerfield.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

LOL. Crowley has been terrible this year.

 

[BM123]

Macca is a good tagger in the Crowley mould.

Severely limited footballers who just rely on shutting down opposition players.

Bit different to your Curnow types.

 

[Cringle]

LOL. Crowley has been terrible this year.

Honestly. I've watched about 2 Fremantle games this year. Only really assumed he was still the best in the league.

 

[Deep Blue]

Please MICK - ONLY 1 HARD TAG PLEASE: Armfield on Dangerfield.

OUT: Robinson (susp) and Garlet (omitted)

IN: Waite and Bell

 

[Deep Blue]

Gibbs should never tag again.

38 touches. 17 of them contested. Set us up all night.

Very close to becoming elite.

Agree - don't like seeing so many posts focussed on us tagging; Gibbs tagging days should be well and truly behind him now. Of course balance the defensive and offensive games, but wish people didn't put so many of their players on a pedestal and think they're worthy of hard tags; Armfield on Dangerfield as a hard tag and leave it at that. Going in to a game with a lot of players assigned as taggers sub-conciously says to everyone out there that "we believe this team are better than us". Kick a higher score than Adelaide and we win the game - let them chase us around the park!

 

[Deep Blue]

His EF final against Richmond was pretty good.

Most disposals, clearances and contested possessions on the ground.

I like how he is finding some easier possessions now though.

If Gibbs can play like that on a regular basis he can win a Brownlow - good to see him freed up and playing around the midfield where he belongs.

You're obviously not aware of the meaning of 'arguably' - it means you could deservedly argue your point is true. In other words, you think you can argue Macaffer has been the best.

Alright I'll re-phrase it, he is one of the best

 

[etsal1]

Alright I'll re-phrase it, he is one of the best

How's that any different?

 

[Aphrodite]

Alright I'll re-phrase it, he is one of the best

Who cares.

Move on & back in topic!

 

[AceAndy]

I am over the whacky time slots we have drawn

The only thing Sunday twilight has going for it is it is not Sunday night!!!

Are we likely to see any injured players back next week ?

I reckon only Waite & Bell are a real chance. Bell probably more likely.

Who knows with Carrots considering they've been lying about his injury - it's broken ribs not back spasms. And given he hasn't played since rd 5 I'd hope he'd play VFL first. But we don't do that

Judd still couple a way. Curnow the same.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Wasn't that in the NAB cup???? does it count?? lol

lol did you sleep through last years game?

 

[Bailey01]

lol did you sleep through last years game?

I would rather so, that was a nightmare

It was a very, very serious back spasm that broke his ribs................it's nothing to laugh at.

Waite and Bell likely to come back from injury and I still think McInnes will be given serious consideration..

I'd heard he broke his ribs in a collision near the end of the Dogs game.

Andy Mac is a definite chance to play - given I think Whitey might be in a little bit of trouble when the boys get back from their break.
