Preview Rnd 8 - Carlton v Western Bulldogs Sunday 9th May 3:20PM @ Marvel

[reg_lower91]

We simply can’t afford to concede another 63 I50s like we did against *. We’ll get eaten alive if that’s the case. This game will be won or lost in the midfield. #releaseSPS

Am I the only one whothinks Gibbo needs a rest? He’s not his usual energetic self.

Not the only one....but was better on Sunday compared to the previous 2 weeks.

Bugger

Mid season maybe?

 

[The Bighouse]

Not the only one....but was better on Sunday compared to the previous 2 weeks.

Atrocious 1st half vs ESS.
Redeemed himself somewhat in the 2nd but surely needs to be at the top of list for any openings.

 

[Ash24]

IN - SPS, Gov, Levi, Plowman (that will ruffle some feathers)
OUT - Dow, JSOS, TDK, Williams

Newman and Martin look likely to come in during the next few weeks, with Newnes and Gibbons the likely omissions.

 

[LanceRomance]

TDK will have to be a strong consideration.

Dogs get back English and they already have a top ruckman in Martin. Those 2 will bully Pittonet and Casboult. Need the athleticism that TDK provides around the ground.

In - TDK, Williams, JSOS
Out - Casboult, Dow and McGovern

SPS also best 22 but not sure who would be the medical sub. I’d drop Newnes to med sub.

FB - Parks Weiterbot Plowman
HB - Saad Jones Docherty
C - Cottrell Cripps SPS
HF - Gibbons Silvagni Fogarty
FF - Owies McKay Betts
RR - TDK Walsh Williams

Int - Stocker, Cunningham, Pittonet, Curnow and Newnes

Didnt english break his jaw?

 

[The Bighouse]

Didnt english break his jaw?

Thought it was cleared but concussion from the same incident.

 

[Mezzoculo]

Above all else, if we don't play four quarters of football on Sunday arvo, we don't have a chance of winning. Any of our (disappointingly regular) disappearing acts will be punished.

 

[HBF]

In - JSOS, Williams, SPS
Out - Gov (inj), Gibbons, Newnes

Hopefully Dow gets up to play.
If Murph is brought in it should only be as sub.
TDK and Newman one more in the 2s.

Ed to go to Libba. He's their key inside.

I'm thinking to Macrae.

He hasnt been the same since the head knock.

More than that Gibbo is just a top up player...if he plays best 22 we are lucky to make finals and not top 4. Not a good enough mid or small fwd

I think that's pretty harsh on gibbo.

His best is very good.

Yes i think he is a mid. Actually with his very good tank, i think he could replace Ed as our run with player when ed hangs em up. Can run all day, can tackle and has some good skills in tight.

Parks interviewed on SEN tonight speaks well wants to become the 3rd tall and intercept marker.....we may have found our Marchbank replacement.


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Great for Parks but sad for CFC. Marchbank was unreal, looked like Weiterings first season+ more when he took over as the intercept marker. If Marchbank gets back to his old form, with Newman getting back to his old form, we have IMO the best backline in the league by a mile.

I think not bad but I still think CAS is a better useless forward than Pitto is a useless forward. so DK will replace Pitto before CAS

10 games out of old Kruez would have been handy this year.

DK to replace CAS as fwd. kicked a goal and was lively in the 2s

 

[windows1]

I think setters laid 10 tackles last week in the VFL and was BOG this week. I think he has to come in and play in the middle as the bulldogs midfield is awesome. With Parks and Stockers hard form and Setters playing his natural position we would be such a harder side than the ‘nice’ Carlton we have been.

Maybe I’m being harsh but I don’t think his hands or attack on the footy are good enough yet. Getting there. But not there.

We need some bursts from Williams.

 

[katmanblue]

McKay will kick a bag

Hopefully it's enough

Probably won't have match fitness to play Ruck yet.

Either he plays another week or two of VFL or comes in as a forward. Move over to full time ruck later in the year.

Release the king!
