Preview 2022 Rd 15 Carlton vs Fremantle Saturday June 25 1:45PM @ Marvel Stadium - Team Post #808

[The Blue Weirdo]

Honey getting built up into a frenzy by game time...

Wouldn't have the Carlton board any other way!

#nopressure

Honey's played 6 AFL games haha.

If any other club supporters visited this thread they'd think we were talking about Judd returning to the side.

BOG or buzz off back to the VFL.

Is he eligible for the rs?

Going as well but I think the last win I saw was Geelong about 2017/2018 when Gibbs was BOG and Cameron Wood rag dolled a Geelong player ??

Was that the game that Dennis tore it up? May have kicked a bag of four from memory.

2016 when Army kicked the sealer I believe.

great minds think alike, miss Dennis. great clubman.

Mate I'll tell you what, for a player that didn't grow up playing the game, when he was on, he was on. Great mix of high speed and the guy could kick the ball well at full tilt, something many struggle to do.

Wood stiff-armed Selwood.

That is true.
But this Carlton forum has the uncanny ability to rate some players on the basis of:
1. A special break out game, when they were best on ground eg. SPS against Bulldogs
2. On their Draft or Recruitment positions eh. Dow, LOB, Williams, McGov, Martin
3. On the potential of they could be when they have enough games under the belt or have developed their body: (The Gunna Category)
TDK, Cunners, Marchbank, Carrol, Kemp, Mollop, HONEY, Philp, Cottrel, Stocker, etc.

We are an impatient mob. We can project the outcomes we really want. And don't let the facts get in the way of a good story. Hmmmmm...

BTW: for the record. I think Honey has great upside

No different to any other Team Board.

Turns 21 in October and has only played 6 games (1st game for the year), so ...

Very well put, as much as I don’t want to hear it

[The Fantom]

I got a reserved seat level 1 but I’m not going now. Going to do a double header and watch it and the Geelong game at at a mates.

If anyone wants a free ticket (it’s a member upgrade) PM me and it’s yours.

 

[Benaly28]

we're going to need the smalls to rediscover their pressure game this week - have given us almost nothing since the Swans win

Imagine both key forwards AND our smalls get going…..

To be fair though Honey has showed plenty almost every time he's played IIRC

He is a gun - no doubt about it.

At the start of this season I rated Honey higher than Durdin, Owies, Motlop and Fisher. Was dissapointed when he was injured prior to round 1 and i thought would be back around round 5 or 6.

In this case it’s justified. He’s a genuine goal kicking small which we have not had. And a very good one at that.

I flip between rating players based on their best games because it is demonstrated form, albeit fleeting and rating players based on their deficiencies, depending on how I feel at the time.

Right now, I expect all players to show something first year, in terms of what they could bring to the side going forward. I also recognise list spots are at a premium in a winning club and we are going to have to cut loose players who may do well at another club.

As it stands, I'd like to get rid of at least a couple of our always injured brigade and am prepared to lose the likes of Dow for nothing if another club comes calling. Mind you, I think Dow's deficiencies could be carried in another team that wasn't already loaded with clearance players but had quick runners around them who got back defensively.

Martin is a depth player for mine. I have Honey in his spot if he can show some consistency.

For all our injuries that we talk about, guys like Honey and Cunners don't get mentioned that much, but if both were fit and firing they could really add something to the team.

I guess for large parts of the year our smalls have been pretty good, but always good to have options and keep the selection pressure on...particularly on Martin.

Even Ed Curnow could have gotten some games if fit and is kind of the perfect player type for Voss' style.

 

[Blue Chip Pass]

I think if we get a solid contribution from the whole team, we are a good chance.
We can't afford to carry too many passengers. which has been the case in our losses.
It's just hard to predict who will fire/misfire.
I just want to win the game. Even if it's ugly.

4 points & no injuries.

That. Is. All.
