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

[Stig O'Hara]

Sweet lord, another marquee Sunday, time for bed game, will probably crack 30k.

Cows aren't travelling too flash, so reckon we are a show in the Massie, Nelson, Gallagher, Eccles, Bond Cup.

we are exact opposite of Essendon. we are only capable of run and carry. when have no ability to move the ball by foot. run and carry is great but it can't be sustained for whole game and if opponent turns up the pressure you can pretty much guarantee turnovers. until carlton drastically improves it's fieldkicking(which is not just about individual skill but team understanding of off-ball movement) then they are vulnerable to be beaten by just about anyone.

Collingwood have the worst kicking efficiency in the league and they are traveling ok

 

[jimsta10]

Murphy in the clear to play, as is White.

Not so for Robinson though........1 week.

Should appeal.

 

[Cringle]

Bell for Robinson?

 

[Sam The Doc]

Bell for Robinson?

Yeah make it happen. Got a 2 week break to recover from the finger.

I would like to see C Judd fit and firing for the Geelong/Hawthorn/Sydney stretch...same for Bell...Judd and Bell running around together at the same time would be interesting, since Juddy has apparently spent a lot of time coaching Bell. Neither will be ready for the next game. Carrots has had a shocking run with injury - pretty much since the infamous Essendon game....this also means his timing and skills are down - hasn't impressed in his comeback games - McLean is doing just enough to probably make carrots come back via VFL.

You have to give Malthouse a lot of credit for playing Buckley/Rowe/White/Casboult and Menzel - if Docherty has the tank to stay on the field (given lack of pre-season) he too improves the side. Buckley is becoming a key 'playmaker' at HBF, he is quick to decide whether to run/handball or kick - looking classier with each appearance - has more time than many of the more experienced higher game time players. Tuohey is looking lost back there atm.

Everitt and Thomas have improved defensive capability - Thomas is perhaps well below top form, but his second and third efforts are exemplary - Jeff Garlett in particular could learn a lot from watching Thomas defend as a forward. I think Jeff may be on thin ice atm - wouldn't be surprised to see him out for Adelaide game - Ellard just delivers 100% effort every time and what he lacks in brilliance he makes up for in effort. Armfield might have a go in midfield - but is better off on wing and as a tagging forward - he is natural keeper since Robbo is out.

Will be interesting to see where Mick plays Gibbs against Adelaide and how Gibbs goes

Casboult/Waite/Henderson is a combination that can trouble any defense.

I'd be inclined to give Tuohy a rest. It's troubling to have a back line with so many underperforming players in it. Tuohy's and Walkers kicking out of defence on the rebound has been ordinary all season.

Tuohy, Walker, Jamo are really getting shown up by White, Rowe, and Buckley.

Walker should go up forward and Garlett should be dropped after he dropped his head in the marking contest.

 

[etsal1]

You just tagged someone who hasn't been seen in a decade!

Ooopps

Sorry thylacine60

That is hard to believe considering the way we have butchered the ball this year!

He gets one next week and I hope that sorts him out

By "rest" I meant dropped.

Our HBF's poor form is a large part of why we are struggling this season.

In cricket terms, "well bowled mate, have a rest".

 

[etsal1]

Garlett will have to do plenty right in front of Mick on the track over the next two weeks.

Doubt that the coaches would be happy with his dropped mark nor his selfishness ignoring Menzel in the goal-square, irrespective of the net result.

Considering it may have cost Menz a rising star nom, Jeffy has a lot to answer for

 

[HBF]

Outs: Robinson (Susp), Garlett
Ins: Waite and Graham

We're just getting smashed with the crappy scheduling this season. The league clearly have us pegged as a bunch of couch potatoes.

Just saw the indigenous Guernsey that we will be wearing in rnd 11 against Brisbane and wow it looks soooooo good.

Do we have a pic

Thanks MEB

Love the guernsey!

FF: Ellard Henderson Waite

Foll: Warnock Gibbs Murphy

Inter: Judd Tuohy Everitt
Sub: Armfield

IN: Waite Judd/Bell/Graham
OUT: Robinson (suspended) Garlett

If Judd is ready he comes in, if not Bell goes in, if he's not ready then Graham.

Personally I'd rather McInnes or Watson in for White. I just don't think White does enough offensively to be a third tall. We have Rowe as the lock down player. I just see more benefit with Watson as third tall.

 

[James_Blues]

Realistically we could win our next 3 games. Thoughts?

geez i dunno mate, the bye look to be a big ask

 

[Quazza]

God I hate the Crows

 

[Silvagnis]

Robinson has accepted the one match ban. I can't wait for Moclair to bring it up on Carlton's next podcast. Along with Jamison's goal. Might have to wait a week.

 

[HARKER]

What I'd like to see for next week:

1. Thomas to have built up to full fitness and start through the centre.
2. Tuohy and Walker getting back to somewhere near their best.
3. Buckley, Menzel and Docherty getting full games.
4. Bell back for Robinson.
5. Waite back and fully fit.
6. Carrazzo fit but asked to play with the Northern Blues first.
7. Judd to get a half or so of football with the Northern Blues.
8. Armfield to hold Betts to 0 goals.
9. A win
10. No injuries.

Now that's not asking for much.
