Preview Rnd 16 - Carlton v Brisbane Sat 7 July 1.45PM @ The Gabba - Team post #406

[HBF]

Just bring on Saturday and bounce the ball.

I really like the changes. Think Phillips was too good last week to leave out and he'll jump all over them. Lot of people on this board think they know more than Bolts but Harry is clearly not playing for a reason. Happy to back Bolts in.

 

[Jabba73]

Have we ever won a game with two rucks, with neither of them able to play forward? Strange selections

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

Kruezer to play F/F and kick 12! You heard it here 1st

 

[NumberEight]

I think were too fixated on playing “who should be in” based on the previous week/proven performance (Phillips and Kruez)... when we neeeed to be fixated on fielding a balanced them that can WIN.

 

[ESKIE]

Good to see LOB back, hope he tears it up

I've got no issue with Phillips playing, he was good. I've got no issue with Harry not playing, there are legitimate reasons.
I am livid that we have picked Kreuzer AND Phillips in the same team. It is insane.

 

[Funk]

We aren't exactly blessed with options right now, but I'd have legit preferred Mullett.

I like the logic here.

Both Fisher and Mullett should be good if there's plenty of water around.

 

[BlueGum]

Thy has a fridge

Where he keeps the vacuum cleaner?

 

[rampar]

Team picked for a cherry ripe number 1 pick.

 

[Benaly28]

When was Caleb’s last game....doggies?

 

[Nori]

Reduce rotations works in the favour of smaller running players and players with great endurance.

Talls who can't cover the ground will become obsolete. They already are even now.

I don't think so. The mids rotate more than the talls. The more open the game the more dangerous the talls become.

 

[Chookie]

Will be interesting to see how our younger players go against theirs. There could be a few match ups and duals that will continue for the next decade on display Saturday.

Few weeks back I said I thought we were better off getting lots of numbers around the footy and playing a really defensive brand of football. I thought at least that way we’d stay in the contest not let the opposition play the game on their terms.

But after last week where I felt like at times we definitely moved the ball with a bit more urgency I thought we genuinely gave Port some troubles. And obviously, moving the ball on quicker, running and carrying is a lot better to watch than the chip it round style that we’ve become known for.

 

[El Topo]

How is Marchy fit ?

(Ron Howard voice)

He's not

 

[Navara79]

When was Caleb’s last game....doggies?

Yes

 

[I bleed Blue]

Christ people are missing the forest for the trees on Harry.

All of the murmurs about him are attitude/defensive effort. He hardly tore the VFL apart last week.

He needs to understand, work towards and meet the targets set for him.

Pining for him, when he isn't meeting targets, is asking for special treatment.

He needs to meet the standards his teammates meet. We are building a team not developing individuals.

Then how about the club be honest and tell us what those targets are.

All Andy McKay said when asked during the week was "oh he needs to work on his craft. He is in thr reserves to develop...blah blah blah"

Just say straight out... "he is not currently doing what is asked of him or required for senior selection"

Cos the "development" reason I said wearing thin. Everyone else is given the opportunity to develop in the ones.

 

[Psychochook]

Way behind in the thread, just saw the teams.

I'm happy they've persisted with Polson. He was taking the game on last week. To drop him would have killed his confidence.

I want to see him run through the guts again and again because it's been such a rare sight for us.

Thy has a vacuum cleaner ?

It’s an old in joke.

All to do with fridge magnets.

Isn’t that right thylacine60

Nah....I can wait.

Not winning many with Casboult playing forward either, a wheelie bin may have provided a better target last week...

 

[Blueboys7]

Which of the talls would you leave out to make way for Harry? So one good game is the standard for elevation now?

Usually it's no good games and you're in eg. O'Shea.

Came back from broken ribs too early, then played with a broken finger, lack of options.

 

[Blueboys7]

Shouldn't Marchbank come back through the 2's and regain a bit of touch? I mean what's the rush, to get him fit and firing before finals?

A disgustingly common trend by this years medical team.
