Preview Round 6, 2023: Carlton v St.Kilda - Marvel Stadium, Sunday 23rd April, 3:20PM AEST

[gringo2011]

I know. I was having a back and forth with a crows supporter on Twitter about it. Phillipou had 13 contested possession. The bloke said it was because he has been playing well all year. So I showed him phillipous numbers all year. He hasn’t responded. You can’t tell me that for everyone of that blokes possessions it was worth two of phillipous

Michalanny has been pretty huge this year. They are one of form teams this year and he's playing as a key piece of their defence. Numbers look better for Phillipou but I get why MM got the nod, his impact for his age in a key position has been very good. Phillipou has plenty of weeks to get one. I'd be shocked if he doesn't have a break out game where he kicks a bag and gets a nod.

The awards are a bit of fun rather than an authoritative list of future stars anyway. Phillipou will be a star even if they don't give him a nomination.

100% Caminiti will get a 2 year extension

I'd imagine any less and there would be other clubs more than happy to take him

Hopefully we get Billings and Keeler back in the twos this week

Such a shame he’s not playing against Carlton though.

He’ll get another chance later in the home and away season.

 

[SaintJunior]

Saad is battling hamstring tightness so hopefully he doesnt get up.

If he does get up we will recall Nathan Brown

no doubt, membrey will be 30 next year, get him locked up. 7 goals in your first 5 games with only a couple months at the club. By the time hes 22, could be anything, especially with King taking the heat.

Add keeler to the mix and it all of a sudden looks like we have some really exciting key positions

Just got standing room.

But I'm pretty sure it's not fully ticketed yeah? What's stopping you just taking a seat on level 3.

Plus it was the same price as getting a seat lol.

 

[TheOsprey]

Who's running the Rising Star nonsense again?

Max Michalaney had a solid game for a young bloke playing across half back with 10disp 4 tackles and 4 intercept disp. Phillipou 19disp as a Mid/For with 1g & 1ga..! They will say "ohhh its a bild up of performance" well I'm afraid I have to award that contest to phillipou as well. Moronic.

I agree with you but it’ll be great when he gets the nod in a game where he really tears it apart. 20 touches and 4 goals.

Hoping cuddly Ross gives crazy Voss an absolute lesson in coaching.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Saad out for the Blues. That's their three main rebounding half backs out in Saad, Docherty and Williams. With Steele and Membrey back, injuries definitely won't be an excuse this week.

Where did you hear he was out?

So we’ll probably drop this one

 

[bird_man]

That is a massive out for them. They are already a very slow side.

Happy for Pittonet to play. Having 2 rucks with neither of them being a threat up forward is an odd selection move.

They’re both a perfect matchup for Dougs no doubt

 

[gringo2011]

Even worse for them is that McGovern might be fit.

 

[Minga]

Gees we have had a good run with Witts, DeGoey and Saad all going out of their sides at the last minute or for only a week.

Handy considering we boast the biggest injury list in the league, but injuries aside no excuses for this game. Very winnable, just like how every game will be this year now that we have set the tone.

Last time we played them, Sinclair went nuts and had 37, Marshall had 22 and 12 marks, Membrey kicked 4. Won’t be surprised to see those three continue to play well against the blues.

Gresh had 29 and 2 points. Expecting him to bounce back this week. Also think that Hunter Clark

will thrive in this sorta game, his impact is growing by the week.

Another guy on our list kicked 10 in his first 4 games after only a couple of months at the club!

Yeah this is very winnable, only concern for mine is that the boys might have drained themselves a bit much last week, and have a much shorter break than Carlton. Hope the recovery is good, presumably light training for most of them.

 

[SaintBilly]

Even worse for them is that McGovern might be fit.

mcgovern is a dangerous in and we don’t want to take him lightly.

He’s been solid so far this year and him going out late last week brought plowman in which is a double whack.

 

[The Punter]

Seven day break is plenty. Ten day break is often too long.

 

[PoppedCorn]

If you wear Batman jammies at Marvel Stadium, you’re gonna have a bad time.

If he does and manages to get the mug on the telly we could prob have a whip round and raise some cash

This is the concern for me. Last week was a VERY taxing game, shorter break, and the first real "hurdle" in our season so far, other than injuries. It will be interesting to see how we bounce back and focus, especially after the distractions of this week......
