Preview Round 9 - Carlton v Geelong @ Etihad Friday May 20th 7.40pm

[Beloved]

Cameron Mooney is out this weekend with a knee injury.

Right, "knee injury."

 

[Sin City]

Right, "knee injury."

Not suggesting it's like the Kevin Sheedy "flu" are you, Ed?

 

[Sublime]

Right, "knee injury."

Oh, thanks for the info.

I was under the impression it was his left knee.

 

[Stamos]

Where exactly did White break his leg?
Surely someone has some inside info on this.

Is Laidler good to go?
All the talk is for Duigan right now, but Laidler has already become important for us. Very underrated.

Re: White. Don't know, it was reported on Monday

Re: Laidler. Seems he will be right, was out for hamstring tightness, gets a essentially 3 weeks off, you'd reckon he would be fine. Absolutely, I reckon he's been even better than Duigan (Monday excepted, obviously).

IIRC, there was a report around these parts that White was on crutches after the win against Sydney. Could have just pulled up a bit sorer that usual, and the club might just be taking a cautious approach with him.

 

[HBF]

Tough ask for Tuohy to come in and debut against Geelong Harks.

 

[thylacine60]

To be sure x 2.

 

[davis_756]

My query is who gets chapman up forward. Can't remember who normally gets the job.

Jamo to Pods is an easy call if Mooney is out

Russels tends to towel up Johnson

??? to Chapman

Whoever plays on Hawkins has a license to roam around and rebound all day, probably duigan.

 

[thylacine60]

Tomahawk will look after himself no probs.

 

[SpaceCow]

I say 'play' Walker on Hawkins again. Leave Walker playing in the forward line though.

Hawkins won't get near it.

Epic lolz

Bench for you after that shocker.

 

[ESKIE]

Henderson to Hawkins

What about Stokes, AJ or Army ?

 

[juzz88]

I reckon army to stokes.

Will be more physical and it might put him off.

Yeah, under the radar for sure. Really noticed his loss on Monday night.

Great pickup.

Duigan on Chapman.
A couple of tough hombre's there. Would be a really good test fo Duigs, and we know he'll give his all for the entire game.

Good call. Duigan is good overhead too, both mark and spoil, important against Chappy.

 

[gbatman]

Laidler would be pretty keen to play this one I recon, he's been good this year. He really is a lot like Milburn and matches up well on a lot of Geelong's forwards. I'd love to see Laidler take Chapman. Other match ups would be Armfield/Stokes, Jamison/Podsiadly, White Mooney, Thornton/Henderson/Hawkins, Russell/Johnson. I recon Carazzo/Bartel, Murphy/Ling, Judd/Selwood. I wonder what Role Gibbs will play.

Geelong are pretty lucky getting to play teams coming off the bye twice in a row. It's common knowlege that teams are flat and perform poorly after a bye. I wonder if it would be good to have a scratch match this weekend.

Like the sound of that, both tough as old boots, hard runners, great overhead and very solid bodies. Would be a fantastic duel.

 

[Sin City]

There's an open training session on Sunday at 9:30am. Anyone going down?

 

[thylacine60]

spiritualist...

 

[Stamos]

Putting aside our bias against Collingwood, would we prefer Geelong or Collingwood to win tonight.

I'm for Geelong as that would really set us up if we could beat them next week.
As for the ladder?
A loss to Collingwood tonight and a win against Geelong would have us closer to the top of the ladder than for ........ A long time.

Geelong.
Let's be the first team to beat them.

Prefer Geelong, after a hard slog, don;t want them on the rebound.

Definitely agree. I've got Geelong to win tonight and us to win next week to be honest.

Love ya work Eddie
