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

[Benaly28]

Kerr and H emergencies.Surely Krez dosent get up for this Cant play two underdone players.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

100 games+
Carlton 7 Brisbane 9

Under 50 games
Carlton 11 Brisbane 8

21 years and under
Carlton 10 Brisbane 6

Don't let anybody tell you that Brisbane are younger. Simmo, Daisy and Murph skew it a little but once you get over 100 games, players are experienced.

 

[The Toad]

MMMMMM, very interesting.

Can anyone recommend a good pub/bar in Melbourne to watch the game tomorrow?

Issue with this is it implies Lewis brings more leadership and experience to the table than Rowe and Cripps, he doesn't. These two for us most definitely belong in the 'experienced' category, making it equal.

If you extend it to '80 games and under', which is really no less relevant than 50 games, than its 14 vs 13.

23 years and under
Carlton 11 Brisbane 13

We're both very similar.

There is a massive difference between 80 games and 50 games.

 

[Cripps17]

There is a massive difference between 80 games and 50 games.

Weitering has gone past 50 games, and is playing worse. Is this a concern? No because ultimately he's still young and inexperienced. When would it start to be a concern, maybe around the 80 game mark?

 

[StandByyourMan]

I think we are at the point where, we are always a chance...

 

[Mr_Plow]

I remember reading somewhere that a player said after 4 seasons (or 80 games) that is when the confidence and belief finally came that he belonged and could compete with the best consistently.

 

[jonob1995]

Kerr and Mullett didnt travel, so it looks like if there are any late changes it would be either Lang or H

Weitering is 20 and has played 52 games. You look at this list and that in itself is outstanding. Hope he has a great game on the weekend.

Great northern usually has a good Carlton showing, might need to book a table.

Disagree.

I'm not sure that Wright or Jones are providing much leadership for us.

The difference between 50 games and 80 games could be the difference between a 3rd year player like Weitering and a 5th year player like Gardiner. In terms of preseason strength and conditioning and experience, it is still a massive gap.

 

[Stamos]

Weitering is 20 and has played 52 games. You look at this list and that in itself is outstanding. Hope he has a great game on the weekend.

Hope he plays like he did against them in 2016. Controlled the entire defensive half, absolutely dominant.

Have they travelled?? It is very strange because H needs to be playing, weather it be in VFL or AFL..

VFL Bye

It has been games against North Melbourne, Collingwood, Freo & Melbourne and have gone in thinking we could win this game only to be totally blown a way.. I hope this isnt one of those games.

I think you just refuted your own point there. Weiters will have to play almost every game to reach 80 games in his 4th season. Good chance he will get there in his 5th season. If you are in your 5th season and stagnating, you have a problem. 3rd season ... not so much. This highlights the expectations and experience of those around the 80 game mark. Gardiner will play his 100th game next year and be considered a leader in that team.

VFL has the Bye

I'm not sure on what basis anybody was thinking we could beat Melbourne. They were flying and racking up big wins at the time. Sure, the nature of our preview threads is supporters trying to be positive and think of ways we could win, hell even coaches do that but we know the odds are against us.

Freo was the big letdown but they had a good win the week before which dampened our outlook a touch.

Why would we take Harry up there if we are trading him.....

All that's relevant is how many players have over 300 games. We both have 1, should be a tight game.

Cripps ?

Think he will be at the match instead of the pub. In all seriousness, I think next week or maybe week after.

2 or 4?
