Preview Rnd 22 - Carlton v GWS Saturday 29th August 1.45PM @ SPO

[Stig O'Hara]

How close is Ellard to 100 games? Maybe we're thinking (very) long term.

He's played one more game than you or me.

and he's busted his arse to get this far.

Leave it.

 

[ShanDog]

He's played one more game than you or me.

and he's busted his arse to get this far.

Leave it.

Don't think anyone here pretends they are more capable than any of our players.

 

[El Topo]

Leave it.

Not doubting the endeavour... he was actually handy a few years back, before his goalkicking deserted him. That he survived MM's purging of the flakes reflects well on his approach, but as of late 2015 it's hard to see the upside.

 

[jezzajay]

So Wattos pretty much cemented his spot in the best 22.

Love your persistence...and look, it's paid off!

 

[RAPPA]

Don't think anyone here pretends they are more capable than any of our players.

I love the bloke, but I would trust my left foot over Simmo's right foot.

 

[HBF]

Oh and I would pick Holman over Ellard.

We all would have.

 

[FoeverBlues]

We all would have.

i think Holman can play that defensive forward very well too, tackle to hurt, hard at it all day, good delivery to 50 and nice kick for goal also can go to midfield.

 

[Big Sim]

Leave it.

Yep, Davy has squeezed every ounce of potential out of his diminutive frame and earned every game he has played. Sensational effort.

 

[HBF]

i think Holman can play that defensive forward very well too, tackle to hurt, hard at it all day, good delivery to 50 and nice kick for goal also can go to midfield.

I see him in a variety of positions. If he has a big preseason there's no reason why he couldn't force his way into the best 22 by round 1 2016.

 

[T2B_]

Geez, just realised, our midfield is basically just Cripps....

No pressure young man..

of course

Simple question.
Do we event want to win this game? Would push us back to pick 3 and goodbye Weitering.

If GWS sneak a couple of wins and Geelong trip up it might also improve our Hendo trade...

Until we win, Weitering turns into a total spud and in 5 years time we declare "I think we dodged a bullet".

Let the cards fall where they may.

No we don't and no we won't.

No need to tank. GWS will come out breathing fire. They have wall to wall talent. We have a poor team gutted by injury. Murphy is out. Wood is in.

Sleep soundly Farky.

The Leunberger compo pick, however, is a nightmare looming re Weitering.

 

[Joel Pavy]

Yarran the likely sub for tomorrows clash?

 

[Matty411]

Yarran the likely sub for tomorrows clash?

nah surely he'll get the last two games to show Bolts what he can do and whether he wants to stay OR try to have one last tilt at upping his value for trade season.

 

[Draft Buster]

Wonder how many of the GWS in's we may be looking at. Played well against us recruitment scheme. Jaksch dominated us last year.

Wood in for a possible Kreuz late out? Fields in and Rowe to 2nd ruck.

Good to see that Walsh got the call up.

Is Giles playing NB's this week?

Just hope they give Walsh a full game and not the Sub again....I hate that bloody sub rule!!!

 

[Matty411]

It'll be gone next year - so no more Graham/Menz-type frustrations with the green vest. Bring on 2016.

 

[HBF]

Yarran the likely sub for tomorrows clash?

I'd make Ellard the sub again.

 

[AceAndy]

I'd make Ellard the sub again.

Surely we have a dozen or so blokes that could be in the starting 22 rather than Ellard.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

My wife keeps picking Carlton in her footy tips. Trial separation or divorce?

 

[GoBlues!]

No we don't and no we won't.

No need to tank. GWS will come out breathing fire. They have wall to wall talent. We have a poor team gutted by injury. Murphy is out. Wood is in.

Is this the first time we've had Dick and Wood in the same team? I'm sure Cometti could have some fun calling this game.

Sounds a bit like a sleep on the couch offence

I get the feeling next round could be the last chance for the Three Innuendos to make an appearance together
