Preview Rnd 18 - Carlton v Hawthorn Sunday 22nd July 1.10PM @ Etihad - Final Team Post #352

[The Old Dark Navy's]

How is Garlett not the call up there...

I thought he would be too.

Mullett has been added to the emergencies and looking at our defence, any late outs there will see him or Garlett called up.

Would have loved to see LeBois in but he would probably be in for Polson if anybody.

So the imbalance grows even more:

I fnd it hard when looking at that to remain upbeat Damn you...

Hawthorn will hand us a structured, well drilled football lesson.

Sad to say yes I think so as well but if the Suns can beat Sydney there is hope

Given how misleading average age is when comparing respective team lists, I've been thinking median age might be a better comparison:
Us - 21
Them - 27

Unfortunately it doesn’t matter at this time when our I50’s are often less than 40 a game

Serious marking power up there. Just a matter of how to get it there. Burton on Charlie, Frawley on Levi and Stratton on Big H.

In our defence, we're going to struggle a little with their mobility. Roughead, Gunston, Breust. Nobody is going to go with Breust, particularly when he is in the goal square with Gunston and Roughy leading up the ground. They are going to use this as a tactic. Jones is probably still the best bet to be back there and kill the contest. Shaw may go with Breust pace wise but he'll be outsmarted a lot. Simmo won't win the body on body contests. So zone defence (god forbid) or quick change ups with Jones deep as much as possible. Weitering in a pocket and the two of them helping each other out along with Simmo running from the 50 to the last line all day. Weitering on Schoenmakers, Jones on Roughead when he is forward. Marchbank on Gunston. Roughy goes up the ground, let him go because they would love Jones to follow him up the ground and blow him up.

Not sure whether Ed tags Mitchell or Smith really as Smith is the more damaging player IMO.

Is Hardwick their main tagger? Not sure. He can't do much with Cripps.

If you contact the AFL first thing in the morning they might still have time to call the game off.

You’re probably correct seeing as a single clubs age distribution isn’t expected to follow a normal distribution. Bit more insightful in this case with less data points

It's normally to the left of Like depending which devise you are using.

If you have changed to the new cool18 skin, it's on the right next to Reply.

Thanks Aphrodite but as others have said it’s not appearing anywhere on the page when using a mobile phone.

Sounds like a tec problem??

 

[F_therest]

**** me.

Lobbe, Shaw, Graham, 2018 Wright and 2018 Casboult in the same team.

****.

Yep still carrying heaps of blokes who aren't contributing...bit sad really.

Will be glad for the day when we don't see these names in our best 22 or on our list anymore.
Over the course of the year can add O'Shea & Mullett...Kerridge & Lamb a bit better but not by much. Sigh.

Wright and Casboult really have been next to useless for quite a while now.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

Rogers got Cripps didn’t he

Yes.
He got us Boekhorst, Jaksch and Whiley too.
Watson, Menzel, Bootsma, Russell, Yarran as other first round picks.
Lots of average other picks ... Clem Smith, Tom Temay ...

[Accidental genius]

Yes.

Rogers may not have been much good but aren't these decisions made as a collective not just by one person?

 

[HBF]

Bounce the ball ffs

Does that mean we can start now?

 

[Soapy V]

Always hopeful but when I llok at age demographic etc I am worried
