News Round 16:- Carlton v Sydney Prematch discussion & changes.

[true blue boy]

Whats the go with Hadley?

We seriously do need a few changes to the team we had playing today. Far from our best side.

 

[Warsaw]

Out Fisher, Bentley?, Anderson
In: Setanta, Yarran, Scotland

Still mixed on whether Aussie should come in for Harts, he played okay today not great but did a job.
Browne dog could come in also for someone like Army, think he might need a breather, Army.

 

[Dikfeld]

Anyone who says Anderson should be dropped has NFI. Sorry, usually I'd point out all the things he did today but tbh the people who have suggested he be dropped clearly aren't worth my time. Seriously, get a clue.

Thank god these people have no say.

lol I know what you mean, totally agree

 

[DamianBis]

Out - Hartlett, Bentley, Fisher/Anderson

In - Austin, Scotland, Setanta

 

[HBF]

Jamison an adductor...Hartlett a leg injury...Hampson a shoulder.

No mention of them in the game report TG, and IIRC, Jamo finished the game on the ground, as did Hartlett - not sure about Hampson. Hopefully all 3 of them are right to go next week vs Sydney.

As for the changes, i'd be getting both Setanta and Austin back into the team for next week. Should this be the case, i'd drop Fisher & Bentley. Neither of these guys had a huge influence over the game today, and need to make may for the guys that add some height to our 22. Would persist with Hartlett - I thought he was ok today.

 

[blues4flag]

Hampson hurt his shoulder in the first half. Got it strapped and played out the game.

 

[Azul]

Hampson hurt his shoulder in the first half. Got it strapped and played out the game.

Not to mention being smacked in the nose. Thankfully no one bleeds like Judd...

 

[blueblood25]

^^ thats true. i've noticed it's a trend with our boys nearly every week since judd did it.. anyhow.

out: FISHER
in: Setanta


that is the only definite for me. perhaps hampson out for scotland?

 

[blue gunslinger]

Fisher must go. Just must go. Play Stevo up fwd if we have to but enough is enough
Austin for anybody - Anderson/Bentley are not as good.

Armfield busted a gut and won the ball.AGAIN
Hoops started well so can stay a bit longer.

Another 8 point game this one. We owe ourselves revenge on the Swans. Better get some energy into these boys and lift the tempo

 

[carltonfc12!]

outs- fisher,anderson, garlett
ins- bower(if right), yarran, ohalpin

i thought hartlett played well today and i was loving he big kicks which where breaking the zone, he deserves another go.
i also think it the perfect time to bring yazza in

 

[The Bighouse]

With Sydney's smaller forward line, we should be able to cover them easily with Austin back in the team.
Fisher out & Hartlett may get a chance up forward in Fisher's current role with Setanta up there as well.
Even though Bentley did a few good things today, he'll need to make room for a better player soon but won't be surprised if he continues to get a game against Sydney because of their game style and the need for some body to thrown around the ball/Judd.
Houlihan would be in the firing line for replacing.
Anderson should continued to be played & Garlett did some good things to keep Yarran out - though those 2 may play tags for the small forward role (Garlett's defensive pressure outweighs Yarran's contribution for the moment).
IN: Setanta, Austin
OUT; Fisher, Houlihan

Then A.Walker in the week after in a forward pocket's role if he plays his 1st game with the Bullants next w/end.

Then Bower & then hopefully Warnock (or even S.Jacobs to release Kreuzer up forward)
Scotland, Stevens subject to VFL form..
>Betts Fevola Walker
>Simpson Kreuzer Robinson/Yarran
>Russell Carrazzo Grigg
>Bower Thornton Gibbs
>Joseph Jamison Austin
R: Warnock, Judd, Murphy

I like the army man, but he does need to improve his kicking a lot. Every week he turns over the ball. I cant fault him for anything else other than that, and that is a basic skill he needs to improve.

 

[thylacine60]

Army drops the ****ing ball on his boot like Billy Bunter tossing pumpkins off a bridge. He's got to learn to steady the same way Eddie did.

 

[Alpha1]

Agree Thy, I admire the kid. Has a lot of courage and loves the rough stuff, love his endeavor, now only if we can get his disposals sorted out he is going to be a very very good player.

 

[BluesMan]

Out: ando, garlett, bentley
In: O'hail, Austin, stevo

Gee russell is gunning it. Was playing that lead up forward awsome. And to think i doubted him

 

[Alpha1]

Must admit the last two games JR is winning me around.

 

[Mentallo]

Crikey.
Barring injury.

In: Carlos, Scotland/Stevens
Out: Fisher Garlett.

Would be good to have some experience "sweeping" across half back against the Swans.

 

[Alpha1]

Scotland yes, Stevens a big fat NO.

 

[Will.B.Worth.Da.Waite]

This game is absolutely massive. Let's face it, best we are going to finish is 6th. If we beat Sydney next week, it puts us 3 games clear of them and eliminates them from the finals race. With Hawthorns draw I reckon they are gone. Therefore if we beat Sydney next week, only one team out of us, essendon, and port will miss the finals. Our odds improve massively

Also, I think Bombers play Bulldogs next week, so if we beat Swans we can jump a game clear of them. Absolutely massive game next week, could decide whether or not we make finals.

FWIW Out: Armfield, Bentley

In: Scotland, Carlos

Agree with those changes.

 

[Blueinblood]

JR has now moved up to become the new 4th member of the awesome 4some.

 

[Alpha1]

Not yet BIB still has a long way to go, has had two solid games. And that hardly qualifies him to be the fourth member of the awesome foursome.

 

[zeeCFC]

where's the sarcasm radar alpha?

The other 3 being Bentley, Garlett and Armfield.
