Can't wait for this game!!
MCG.
Saturday.
Playing against an unbeaten team full of confidence and almost at full strength.
Our game plan is the key to winning this game.
We have to run & carry, create overlap through handball and short kicks to break up their zone. We won't get within 5...
Not sure why we would play Cerra as a half back/mid. He is a pure mid. The logical thing would be to bring in a hbf’r (Cincotta) for Williams.
The Williams injury occurred during the game, which is the only reason Kennedy went back (because we had no other options).
If Cerra is fit, he comes...
The mail I’ve got is:
Cerra- not likely
Fantasia- ill - not likely
Weiters- 60/40
Williams- 50/50
Binns- 50/50 (puff piece on club website = debut)
Source - this place, H/S, FB, SEN, Carlton website, my brother (who drove down Royal Parade early this week). 🤪😜
Seems to be a few people being told that players will/will not be playing.
I find that surprising that we would know on a Tuesday, and disappointing that the club is leaking this information to fans.
I like us holding this information close. Call memos school 😎
Not sure if its been mentioned. Nice piece on Cowan on the Carlton website.
I reckon we've got a beauty here.
Great size. Tough. Penetrating kick. Is still very young..
I have seen us play Geelong at the MCG the last 10 times. What stands out is how helpless Charlie and Harry have looked over the years, with Geelongs defenders bodying them at the contest and allowing a Blicavs or SDK or Stewart or a ruckman to mark the kick uncontested.
Down the line against...
Thought I'd covered off on that, maybe didn't make it clear enough. Geelong play this 'spare man in defence' system brilliantly. To the point where when Stewart went off, Zac Guthrie played the role perfectly. I expect him to be playing this role against us, so hoping we have put some serious...
Williams has such a poor history with injury that we are best to rest him for as long as it takes to get him back to 100%. Should not risk long term injury.
Don't mind Cincotta in for Williams; he will be desperate to show his best. Has been in our best when he's played in the VFL so is ready...
Winnable game if we change our mindset.
I thought we were timid and our intensity was way down.
Funnily enough I don’t think Charlie has been anywhere near his best. Time for him to show some leadership and tear a game apart…against a top quality opponent. Maybe he needs to take a look at how...
The commentary of this game was next level cringe. The way they hyped up ‘the inspirational Essendon captain’ was beyond ridiculous.
Merrett tackles - “what an inspirational captain this young man is”
Merrett kicks a goal - “he’s lifting this football team on his shoulders”.
Merrett tackles...
