Is there anything your lad doesn't know yet..??I'm going with the 15yr old boy going on 24!! Looking forward to singing the song at the new stadium. Go Baggers.
Wouldn't be taken them to lightly even if they do lose Hill Hogan and Walters, they're a much better side back on the home deck and will be mighty hard to beat. One thing they have improved this year with their game plan is with quicker ball movement and more attacking style, we do have a decent record over in W.A and with Teaguey having us play a more attacking style ourselves can't wait to see how we go on the MCG size ground.. Go Blues...Could be a winnable game but here at Carlton.. We don't do that.
IN: JSOS
OUT: Newman
Don't play Jack in the forward line for more than 40% of the game. Thomas to defence with SPS and O'Brien mopping up.
Garlett for Gibbons if we need another option to counter Walters and Matera, or if we want a different look for our attacking setup. The latter role is something Garlett needs more field testing with in the VFL, though last fortnight has been a promising start.
If Jones is fit, he comes in for Levi; if McGovern isn't fit, then Jack plays a different role or one of Garlett, Fisher, Thomas or Murphy spends a bit more time forward.
I think there's a few different things that we can do with our structures to stretch Freo a bit thin, particularly if Stephen Hill and Hogan are missing.
That might be how it pans out, but unless Jones isn't lighting it up in training, you have to back his previous form. Newman is a weak link in defence, and Matera shapes as his only match-up on the weekend. If Matera is in good nick, Newman's lack of agility will be exploited.can't drop Levi with the form he's in.
Jones will have to come back through the 2's.
and don't drop Newman either... he makes some mistakes but he brings a hard edge to our team that we lack.
Only change I'd consider is McGovern out for JSOS.
Walters won't get away with that.
Hogan won't get up either and SHill quite unlikely.
Seems to be a winnable game, but that may depend on our attitude going in.
Changes for the CFC - ??? Who knows, but there won't be many?

I'm pretty confident McGovern was playing through hamstring tightness, so hopefully the week off helps him out, because we'll likely need JSOS to support Cripps and Ed against guys like Fyfe, Conca, Brayshaw and (probably) Banfield.
I don't think we'll alter our team based on the opposition...more likely we just do us and try to improve our cohesion under Teague's gameplan.
Dogs had 1 key forward, 2 if you wanna include a newbie in Gardner but we didn't change our backline structure at all. Played Casboult, Weitering, Marchbank and Plowman.
Teague will just back the guys to play to our strengths, and look for 2 of Newman/Simpson/Daisy to look after Matera and Walters when he goes forward.
If Murph and Simmo suit up,
In: Jsos
Out: Thomas
??? He plays a soft outside floating defensive job and turns it over out of defense more than anyone in the comp. Wheres the hard edge? 4 contested, 2 tackles and 2 one percenters per game is not bringing a hard edge :/and don't drop Newman either... he makes some mistakes but he brings a hard edge to our team that we lack.
