Preview 1st Semi Final - Carlton v West Coast Sat 17th Sep at Patersons Stadium - Team/post #551

[Blueboys11]

Yep windy which has blown the rain clouds away

Try taking contested marks in the wind. Better than the rain for us

So warnock to ruck much of the game on his own??? hmmzzzz that should be interesting to see, up against Cox and Nitnat

 

[smashbox gill]

rekon that is a huge mistake. no way nockers can take on both. our mc sometimes make some weird decisions

 

[Patron]

interesting decision, not necessarily a bad one seeing as its looking likely to rain a bit and cox may not be fully fit

Bit of difference structurally and what you need to consider is that opposition teams have devised a successful gameplan against our midfield to limit them getting the ball on the outside to our damaging runners.

As for this year some players not highlighted by you that have had little impact due to injury are Carrazzo, Duigan and Yarran which would mean 8 players in the highlighted bracket, you cant win with 8 players basically not there who are replaced by players with less ability.

Oh and Judd has been well down on top of all that.

So my answer is it is totally different to the team from that final in terms of personnel, form, roles, structure and opposition tactics against us!

Don't forget Walker, Jamison and Warnock having interupted or non-existent pre-seasons. .. Plus we've also had short term injuries to Scotland and Henderson during our slump period. ..

Quite right Clay, I did forget them

The biggest thing we must improve is our style and strategy to counteract the opposition when they take things away from us instead of just accepting it is going to be too hard and put up the white flag as we did against St.Kilda, Crows, Port etc. Those games will not only hurt us in terms of losing 4 points but also the damage our percentage copped in 2 of them.

 

[Silvagnis]

Great bump.

Would read again.

 

[The Coach]

Not really in terms of missing personel. But as you know we rely more heavily on stars (we don't want to go there again). The loss of Murph and Carrots (in his 2012 form) was massive for us. It is now only Murph but whether Juddy can perform w/o him (and whether that is the reason for Juddy's demise) is still to be seen. No Murph and no Juddy contribution hurts us more than taking Pendles and Swan out of Woods or Selwood and Bartel out of Cats. The reason, once again, is covered in other threads

 

[Aphrodite]

Unnecessary bump.
