Preview Rnd 6 - Carlton v Hawthorn Sunday April 28th 3.20PM @ UTAS - Team Post #1331

[Soapy V]

A small player goes out who a lot said nothing and Charlie comes in. ONE change and all of a sudden we are too tall? [emoji848]

 

[TooBlue14]

Really not a fan of the change, going 4 talls has never really worked for us in the past and can't see it working now.

REally hoping he is a late out for Cuningham. The fact the blues website has the phrase "Should Curnow play" gives me some hope.

Looking forward to seeing the hawks waltz out of our forward line again.

At least we got one week of a balanced side

Structure is going to be a challenge.

Take an already top heavy forward line side and bring in a tall forward for a small.

Unless, of course, we are being bullshitted..........

4 talls ...... please no, not again ...
Unless Charlie isn't right and is a late change or is playing somewhere more up the ground, that is not the right way to go here.

Of course Stratton and Shiels return when we play them. Just our luck.

A lot of complaining about 4 talls but it isn’t really. Curnow adds to last weeks side. Polson was non existent. We could leave Curnow on the bench for the whole game and we’d be just as good as last week.

They’ve also brought Stratton and O’Brien in. So they’re pretty tall too.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Bloody hell do the selectors not have a clue. Cunners should be in for O'Brien at least.

Massive forwardline is stupid, but I hope I'm proven wrong.

No they dont..I heard them in the corridor saying geez we don't have a clue...who can we ask? Oh I know

 

[Arr0w]

Rubbish.

You can go back and have a look, or keep on with your familiar denigration of anyone who dares to not share your pearls of wisdom.

Now playing the man, doesn't take you long

Move on

I agree Curnow is a better player than Polson but when has this structure ever really looked good for us? Especially with JSOS playing as well?

 

[Juddernaut08]

Curnow, McKay, McGovern, Casboult & Silvagni in the same forward line.

Interested to see how this pans out

Ridiculous!

 

[Arr0w]

I repeatedly made my argument as requested answered your questions and asked you for your argument. You never provided yours. But if you think that is the same good for you.

Gave it to you countless times, accept it or don't

 

[Ruckus]

This has the distinct whiff of calculated late change shenanigans.

 

[Macca43]

Not right. Everyone has asked and answered numerous questions. Cuningham didn’t get picked. Move on

Show me where Arrow has answered of mine on his self declared Kennedy V Cuningham debate Soapy? He called the debate then ducked it.

Aha they've walked straight into Bolts trap. And does this means the two shortest coaches in the League have picked the two tallest teams?

 

[Juddernaut08]

why 5 KPFs? Bring in Kerr as well, he's been playing well. Need 6KPFs! Bring back Lobbe or Phillips (not both) as well so all 4 of our rucks can be rested.

Kreuzer 50%, then share it out between McKay, Casboult and Lobbe. Bring back Macreadie too. We need at least 15 KPPs and big men.

MORE!

 

[gardiner stand]

Must be a shock to many but Polson is dropped!

Don’t agree. All done. It was fun. Move on

I hope so! Bring on the fine.

 

[juzza316]

Meh, lets see what happens before throwing the toys out of the cot (too late).

 

[Robert Heatley]

Ha Ha - maybe that’s the issue, Bolts thinks all the players are talls and doesn’t distinguish between them.

Ducked? I wouldn't have brought back Cuners on the back of 1 game in 4 weeks and stated that all the way through

 

[Arr0w]

As I said, this is not bay 13

 

[Soapy V]

I hope so! Bring on the fine.

Why a fine?

 

[Blue and Blue]

I see now that picking the best players is a bad idea after all...doesn't take long to change around for all the know alls

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Why a fine?

Joking that the late change would be more tall players from the VFL not listed in our emergencies...

5?

McKay Casboult maybe Charlie. Would never call McGovern a KPF and who’s the other?

 

[Laphroaig]

Thank you. It was irrelevant to the subject at hand the first time, too.

 

[Juddernaut08]

Look at the end of the day, if we do go in as named, I think we're probably OK.

The reasoning for playing Casboult + big 3 is likely because Cas killed it last week, the big 3 are relatively mobile for their size and so we can leave McKay full time.

Unfortunately, I think it means we are too tall and slow. Fast/agile for your size doesn't mean you're actually fast or agile.

Unpopular opinion, but I think if we are determined to keep McKay as a pure forward, we end up choosing best 22 between McGovern and Cas.

Is the final team in yet?

and 3 posts later aph delivers? what gives?
