Curnow-TDK collision sends scare through Carlton camp

The star Blues forward was involved in a collision at training.

We just can't take break can we. Hope he plays so he and H can continue with their synergy.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

The sides will be interesting tonight.

Both Pittonet and O'Keeffe were good in the VFL. Pitto could play first ruck with TDK forward and 2nd ruck, or do we go with TDK first ruck and O'Keeffe forward since he is probably the better forward of all 3.

I hope we dont see a repeat of last week where tIhe crows being one of our bogey side beat us in the same way they did in previous seasons - why have we not worked out a formula to counter some of their advantages against us?

This week could be another one like last week where we get beaten by what we know - change it up ffs!

I think we'll respond this week, we're approaching the downhill slope of the roller coaster.
Boyd for Carroll(he's been a bit quiet)
Binns for Doc
HOK if Charlie's not right.

Evans should replace Fog, but that's probably too many changes.

edit. Forgot SOS, he's gotta play if also

As Mike Williamson used to say, if we win, I’ll walk naked up and down Bourke Street in a stooped position.

Reminds me.

There was a bloke walking up Sydney Rd in Brunswick wearing a shoe and a smile, on Tuesday evening.

I wouldnt judge some of the newer players based on last weeks poor performance which imo was largely due to our senior players not showing up.

Id be happy keeping carroll on - he is one of the shining lights.

As much as I think Doc is finished Binns from what Ive seen just doesnt seem to have it

Evans should never play seniors again unless our top 30 are absolutely decimated

Has HOK debuted in our senior team yet?

 

[myblueroan]

Charlie will play.

Nope, and if he remains uninjured, then he's far more useful than Moir.

From what I have seem of the 2s in the last 2 weeks, Binns is playing his role and hitting up targets inside 50. Kicking has been good in windy conditions.

He is in a difficult position if he doesn't take on dangerous kicks he isn't damaging enough and misses difficult targets in windy condition he turns it over too often. It will be interesting to see how he goes next year as some other team will give him a chance.

Sadly Moir needs to play at VFL level before we even consider playing him in the 1s. 7 possessions in the 2s doesn't cut it.

8 inside 50s last game, and 1 scoring involvement supposedly. 60% DE in a game where only 20% of his disposals were contested, is a huge problem he needs to work on.

I love how Fog goes about it but last week he missed a easy 15m hit up pass going forward which he does a lot & really at this level shouldn't miss. the difference between marking inside 50 & be getting turned over up the other end. Suprised he doesnt get more midfiled time tho

Beat me to it !

 

[TheBlueCampaigner]

Probably get burned for this but part of me is hoping that Marshall puts Tom to the sword tomorrow night and gives both Tom and the Aints something to think about.

Perhaps the Adelaide game could be discussed in the appropriate thread.

I haven't watched much of STKILDA this year.

What are their strengths we need to take away? What do we need to watch out for? What's their transition game?

Like all Ross teams they do really flood back and then slingshot hard. We should beat them in the middle of the ground but the danger is them beating us out on the spread with Wilson, Hill, Sinclair etc. They have a lot of pesky forwards that can bob up and kick goals, especially while they don't have King playing. On paper I think we're the better side but I don't think we match up very well on them, so I suspect it will be an arm wrestle.

Their best player is Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, who I'd argue is the best kick in the comp and takes on the risky kick more than anyone. We absolutely need to have someone play a defensive role on him. Blues by 9 points.

TdK will take him apart……We need StKilda to up the offer again and put Geelong out of the equation. Flower them!!!

 

[mOccO77]

Any idea why we'd have a full training run 48 hours out from a game?

He's a winger. Not sure contested possession is what he's required to do.

Do every week. It’s the main training session for the week

It was a night Training session last night.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

At least we give St Kilda some uncertainty as to how we line up.
