Round 3 1996 - Fremantle end Carlton's 18 game winning streak including 16 in a row on the way to the 1995 flag

Venue
Adelaide Oval - Carlton 0 wins, 7 losses - Fremantle 3 wins, 10 losses

Likely Blues changes
Marchbank (inj) out - Kemp in

Matchups
Weitering - Taberner
Kemp - Amiss
McGovern - Treacy

McKay - Draper
Curnow - Pearce

De Koning - Jackson

Cerra - Serong

Tactics
Obviously Carlton will be looking to take advantage of our tall forward matchups. Pearce will go to whoever has the hot hand, which means our other tall forward will have the easier matchup. However, this means our smalls have to make themselves dangerous to keep Ryan second guessing. He is going to be the third man up and intercepting in front of our big men all day unless we plan to stop him.

Similarly, coming out of defence, Hayden Young

is the key for Fremantle as far as rebounding and finding dangerous options in the corridor. We either trust Fogarty to harass him all game and he is very capable of this, or we go for a taller option and employ Cottrell to play as a defensive forward.

I'm looking at Cerra going head to head with Serong, and Hewett or Carroll to go head to head with Brayshaw. When he's on the ball, I'd let our skipper take on their former skipper in Fyfe. Roll the dice and see who has the greater effect as neither are going to be close checking on each other.

Weitering will take whichever forward plays closer to goal and Kemp will take the other. I figure since Treacy is Freo's backup ruck, and gets up the ground, this suits Gov who also likes to get up the ground.

TDK has a monster job stopping Jackson at ground level. When McKay goes into the middle against Treacy, we really want to make hay while the sun shines with that matchup.

Walters and Switkowski are the main small forward concerns for them. Walters plays closer to goal so there is a chance Newman takes him when our defence is populated, but Williams takes him when he is sneaking out the back in an open forward line. I'm hoping Saad isn't left one out in the goal square with him.

Result
Blues to take down another hoodoo with an Adelaide Oval victory. Carlton by 15 points

[Arr0w]

Apart from Kemp for Marchbank, no other changes for mine

 

[Thrawn]

Walsh a sneaky in?

Nah

I concur oh wise brother...

But what if Walshie is available??

 

[Thrawn]

Nah

You're probably right, but I really wanna see a full-strength side playing for more than two games in a row! Especially once we face Collingwood.

 

[Arr0w]

I concur oh wise brother...

But what if Walshie is available??

Can't wait to see him out there

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Imagine adding Martin, Walsh and Motlop.

Unfortunately we won’t be but Kemp for Marchy is a no brainer.

Hewett to Brayshaw is my bet

 

[Bletch]

I concur oh wise brother...

But what if Walshie is available??

They said 2-3 for Walsh, so unlikely.

 

[Soapy V]

Can’t see Walsh Motlop or Martin being ready.

I’d like to see Cincotta in for Marchbank for more run. Newman can play tall. I also like the idea of Kemp being developed to play SOSs role if needed

I think our side is far from settled so selection again will be interesting

Form of Cottrell O.Hollands Durdin has them under pressure

I also believe Wilson isn’t far away. He’s been impressive and his run and pace is what we need

 

[Footyfreak31]

Could binns be a chance to debut?

 

[Soapy V]

Could binns be a chance to debut?

I wouldn’t be against him replacing Hollands

Fremantle has height in their forward line, Taberner, Traecy Amiss. Need Kemp back in to replace Marchbank

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

I’m not seeing much from Freo that concerns me. Very poor execution.

 

[Soapy V]

Fremantle has height in their forward line, Taberner, Traecy Amiss. Need Kemp back in to replace Marchbank

Means we can take advantage and run off them

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Form of Cottrell O.Hollands Durdin has them under pressure

2 goals probably saves little Durds, but he does need to find more footy and apply more pressure. Cottrell and Hollands probably have enough runs on the board to avoid the chop for now.

 

[le dominateur]

Hopefully Freo play this bad against us.

Not ready yet, Acres, Ollie, Cotts have the wings covered

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Kemp or Young to replace Marchbank…

 

[bigm386]

Chance Cripps misses with his impending bubs.

Carroll was off for a bit sore but played out the game as did Charlie with the ankle.

Could be a couple of changes.

 

[Arr0w]

Longmuir has released the shackles, playing a good brand of footy

Biggest turnaround is their forward handball game, looks dangerous

Very good runners and users on every line

Bog average side.

We’ll smash this lot.

 

[Kruezing]

Cottrell was poor today

 

[Opium]

Adelaide only laid 43 tackles. We bring today's tackle pressure and intensity and we should beat Freo. Adelaide oval is a bogey ground for us. Yet to win there.

 

[Arr0w]

Cottrell was poor today

If you base it purely on number of touches
