Preview Rnd 8 - Carlton v North Saturday 25th July 1.05PM @ the Gabba

Can’t for the life of me remember (or look up) the last time we beat them.

Anyone??

7 years ago.

7 years ago.

Nah.......really??

To be honest that doesn't look good for mine...see players do that action all the time when they do a hamstring in game...looked very similar to the motions Joel Selwood made last week when he did his hammy...

If it was today, they wouldn't have got the scans back by the time teams needed to be announced...the area appears to clearly be bothering him and even just 'hamstring tightness' this close to a game don't think they'll risk him...

Really? Absolutely nothing in it, couldn't have looked more casual afterwards.

Round 18, 2014 was the last time we beat Norf. Lost 5 in a row to them since then.

Yep.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Yep.

Crikey.

He looked to be smiling at the coach in the clip.

Can look very innocuous afterwards...as I said, seemed to be what Selwood was doing when he got to the bench after his hammy last week...

Would need to see the vision of when it actually happened though...

Zurhaar named!

thought so

So if Harry doesn’t play, we can only replace him with one of the 4 emergencies? If the rumour of Levi missing is true, then our tall forward options are Moore and McGovern?
Yikes!

Come on stats gurus...when was the last time we went in unchanged 2 weeks in a row...

Pretty sure it was not long after some clever bloke had an idea about a wheel ???

If we were to pull Harry tomorrow we can name one of the emergencies in his place on the field, then replace that emergency who could in turn replace Levi if needed...

But even if we wait until the day of the game, we would just cop a fine I think if not in the emergencies...

If we haven't heard anything after tomorrow night, would be more likely at least one of Harry or Levi is expected to play...

No change, just getting some popcorn

Suspect at least 1 late change, possibly 2

Continuity is King, something we haven't had for so long.

Maybe he needs to pull his finger out and earn his spot. I said for the majority of last year he should have been and would have been dropped in a better team for the way he was playing. Coaches probably wanting more, so dont name him as an emergency and see what he is made of, does he sulk or work harder and get his spot back. lets wait and see.

Agree with that
He got too cute as a player

He is not as cute as Jack......according to my wife.

I am more of a Levi man myself .

Specially when he has his lumberjack outfit What a handsome big man.

 

[Cliffords Blues]

The highlight of this game was to be Harry v Ben.
From backyard to AFL stadium.
Really hope Harry is OK so we can see 2 brothers battle it out.
Bragging rights on the line

Especially given the rain forecast.

Yes and no.
We can probably cope with one of Harry and Levi as a late out - personally I’d bring in a Honey or a Philp on a wet day and play a bit smaller.
But if both of them are out it really takes away such a feature of our play. The long kick to our marking targets down the line, and the crumbing forwards and retention in the F50 after the ball hits the deck.
Teams obviously need to have a plan B (and C, D and E), but the big man backups - especially in the emergencies - do not fill me with much confidence if H and Cas are both unavailable.
