Both Silvagni & Young are courageous, one can only admire the passion and application for the jumper, they’re an inspiration, facing Sean at 203cm /111kgs & Luke 200/102. Go Blues

 

[Accidental genius]

Re Motlop, just because he kicked 4 against the dregs of the VFL?

One punter who watched him said he was "lazy AF" for much of the game.....

With Martin and Cuners playing well as X factor, no need to change the status quo.

Owies does a decent job too.

Yeah I agree. I didn’t watch vfl last game but based on previous viewings mots doesn’t do enough of what owies does and Martin and cunners both provide X factor.

Motlop playing VFL.

Hewett, Cowan & Ed travelled with the team.

 

[Benaly28]

Rucks are not overrated if they can mark and kick well, be mobile around the ground, burst wide open a pack or two and generally look after their midfielders.

Name 3 in the afl right now that fits that bill you described.

Hope everyone is bracing for Gerard and Derm commentary tomorrow (they usually are rostered on for twilight Sunday Twilight Games)

Dermie's special comments is rather like a box of chocolates, he is either brilliant or utter crud (although lately he has been crud, he has been annoying most of the season)

Don’t forget Pav and he’s unbiased commentary

Pav secretly loves Carlton.
Why else would he have nearly come to us ten seasons in a row......

I’m sure he hopes for a Freo win but he plays it pretty straight whenever they play.

Like the team except for Fogarty ahead of Hewett.

Surely Hewett is an accomplished enough payer to be getting a game regularly?
especially coming up against such a strong midfield?

I’m glad you’re not on the selection committee.

Taking out our best pressure forward and replacing him with a slow inside mid..

has he been injured until two weeks ago, how come he has only played two matches?

"best pressure forward"- has played 5 matches in almost two years, had one good game in a match that the team one by ten goals and you're calling him that? Seriously how could you credit him based on one match?
Also happens to be the same match that Hewett started sub and played only a quarter so can hardly be judged on.

 

[BigFrizz36]

has he been injured until two weeks ago, how come he has only played two matches?

Fogarty had major back surgery over summer and missed the first half of the season. Played maybe four reserves games and averaged 23 touches and 5 tackles a game to earn a recall.

Has played two good link up games since his return. Deserved his chance and has taken it so far.

I should have said best pressure forward last week.

It’s all about team balance. For me, Hewitt only comes in for one of Cripps, Kennedy, Cerra or Walsh.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

When you look at the teams, we really should win this. We must maintain the structure and discipline of the past couple of weeks though. Our midfield has to be switched on to neutralise their ruck domination, and Freo's mids are far better than Hawthorn's to take advantage.

This is our real test to see if we have turned this thing around or not.

 

[BigFrizz36]

My big call.

If we can beat Freo tomorrow we will beat Port next week. Despite ladder position I think freo is a tougher ask than port (interstate, no ruckmen etc).

We win tomorrow and we are officially "on a roll".

one word... intensity.

(aka hunger for the contest, doing the 1%ers....)

is touting their smaller, more fleet of foot midfielders to get the job done. There's a challenge laid down.

 

[Arr0w]

Bounce the ball ffs

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Intensity!
Hunger!
A passion for the contest!
Switched on!

If we can win this one, then where definitely in the season up to our eyeballs!

Go baggers!

So a ruckman is irrelevant now? Maybe a similar touted finalist on their home ground with similar all-ground capabilities is a 'should win' game to some - to a neutral observer just looking at the line up - Carlton will have done very well to win and should be expected to lose this one by 2-3 goals.

Ok -well here is the post game commentary in nutshell.

If Carlton loses sack VosS.
If Carlton wins 'where was this before" ?

For me, if Carlton loses it’s about how they lose. A competitive game with a close loss will be disappointing but wouldn’t be disheartened because freo are a significantly better team at home.

A win, and it’s more about showing Voss has finally got the players he wants in the side performing the required roles.

It’s a big test game and hopefully they prevail.
