Preview Rnd 17 - Carlton v St Kilda Friday July 13 Darklands 7.50pm

[mike ockerts]

i'm in two minds about mckay

want him to play

dont like bowing to media pressure

* the media, we play the kid because it's the best thing for the Carlton Football Club going forward.
He will learn 3 fifths of * all running around in our reserves side atm.
He will be monitored closely and have a lot more cameras on him to show deficiencies he needs to work on in the 1s than what he will get in the magoos.
If it's true he has done a mini preseason to get a solid fitness base up, then that's good enough for me to play the kid for the rest of the season, injury permitting of coarse.
Set some basic team requirements for him to adhere to, that's a given of coarse.
But most importantly, tell him to attack the ball in marking contests, don't care if he clunks any, the most important part is, "getting" to said contests to start with.
If he blows up, rest him for 5, then rinse and repeat.
Let's see what the kid is made of I say.

 

[CJMB]

Pls don't forget our 3rd best midfielder, Dow.

My revised changes:

In: McKay, Dow, Garlett, Simpson
Out: Phillips, Weitering, Wright, Graham

Rowe probably survives because of Weitering's injury.

That's probably what I'd go with too.

Only other considerations for me would be that maybe they want some protection for Harry and name Levi too (Carlisle confirmed to be playing this week, probably in place of Austin) or if the club decides to roll the dice with Byrne. Silvagni probably out if Levi gets in, either Silvagni or Polson out for Byrne if he gets a run, both out if LC & CB get in. That being said I don't think they'll pick CB this week and I'm not sure they'll pick LC if they've already confirmed HM...

Go Blues.

So Wright, Weitering, Phillips OUT
McKay, Simmo & ???? in. It’s not Shaw as they would have mentioned the Debut, not someone coming back from injury either, as he would have mentioned that.

So Ins McKay, Simmo & Mullet
Outs Wright, Weitering & Phillips

i hope to god its dow.

 

[Ald Gardiner]

I like these changes too, reckon we can push them pretty hard with that team

Really hoping that Carlisle isn't back so we might actually be able to stretch them defensively. I'd be very happy if it ends up with Goddard on Mckay but that could be an absolute raffle as to who wins. Kreuzer is much better than Hickey and Longer, think we can get a clear advantage here and hopefully it allows for Cripps to get clear first possession a few times. Biggest concern is Gresham, kid is a star and I just don't know who can shut him down around the goals.

I'm sitting in the St Kilda members tomorrow night, has anyone got a spare 27 wooden spoons?

Just ask for the key to their trophy cabinet and borrow theirs for the night

 

[kirbatron]

Ed Curnow was in red hot form earlier to middle of the ear but has tapered off a touch - change of role, just a bit down on form?

 

[TeeJay Blue]

Ever since that ridiculous suspension, he's been finding it hard to revisit that strong form.

That is a very good point.

Maybe he just hasn’t heard what his role is?

Wondering if we will see Byrne or Lobbe?

Wondering if we will see Byrne or Lobbe?

I only want to see Lobbe named if Kreuzer is out.

Ed has to go to Steven for sure.

 

[Benaly28]

Lamb must go to Gresham.

Really hoping he is IN so Charlie can test his ribs.

 

[HARKER]

Shaw? Really?

Would sooner a half from Byrne.

 

[LanceRomance]

Shaw? Really?

I like it.

See how he goes.
