Mac Andrews got subbed off against cats as well with a lower leg issue

Mac is fine now and will play.

 

[David Sylvian]

Kick it around Witts, tag Rowell, brutalise the rest. W.

What's his one wood?

 

[Juddernaut08]

Powell, Rosas, Weller.

thanks - out of interest who would they replace in the 22?

IMO last line-up against Cats

Weller > Fiorini
Rosas > Long
Powell > Sexton

Against Carlton
Witts > Moyle
Walter > Day
Rogers > Long (probably)

 

[carlton_99]

Powell > Sexton

Think of all the Fantasy/SuperCoach players out there

 

[Blue By Blood]

I'd be happy with Gov forward

Should never have been moved into defence in a perfect world IMO - it was only out of necessity that it happened. He 'failed' as a forward with us because he very rarely got to play alongside both H and Charlie. I don't have the stats to back that up, just going from memory. Would love to see how he goes taking the oppos third best defender. He's capable of a pack mark, he's reasonably quick off the mark to be a decent lead up forward too and he would stretch the oppo defence more than what we currently do. Weitering, Marchbank, Kemp should be able to hold down the defence. What we would gain by moving Gov forward outweighs what we would lose in defence IMO.

He'd be handy kicking it to a lead of H or CC too

he was never fit enough back then to play the running tall game and carlton had no one to play third tall defender ...

he uses a wedge off the tee a real big picture thinker

Not sustainable!

he never has to go looking for his balls in the rough

Last time he played forward was under a Teague gameplan, think he would be more productive now

Don't you think his ball use is really important off HB.? Since his return I have already noticed an improvement in that area

Very important, so is marks and delivery inside 50 and kicking for goal

If we want to brutalise teams at stoppages, you can then capitalise on inside 50s

 

[Bluella]

Runs around without any pants on and wearing a ******* apron…..

AFL has loosened their rules - didn't Jayden Hunt need special permission for his headband a few years back?

 

[ArseClown]

Voss plan A for Rowell - spray liquid form laxative over the grass in the centre square the day before the game and hope he eats it.

 

[jj1978]

A win is a must.

A loss would sap the confidence of the group and the next man up mantra will begin to prove to be a fallacy.

That is all.

 

[Coops93]

I wasn't insinuating Orazio can't be a good player again. There's just a lot of hate being thrown at Durdin.

"Hate" implies it's unfair and due to disliking the person/player rather than basing it on output.

I think criticism towards Durds is definitely warranted, he's invisible for most of the game. He's averaging career lows in possessions, goals, shots on goal, goal assists, inside 50s and tackles.

 

[Coops93]

The same Teague who was McGoverns forwards coach at Adelaide when they had one of the best attacks we've seen for a long time

I have other issues with Teague in fairness but if anyone at Carlton knew McGovern as a forward it was DT

Two Somethings gov was awesome at for a bloke his size whilst playing third tall.... The run down tackle and the lead up mark......


How good does that sound right now

 

[DirtyLeeds]

What's his one wood?

As a golfer I despise how he, in particular, refers to "one wood" as being the players 'best' club.....
It simply should be his putter as it is the stick you should use 50% of the whole round!!!!!!!
He's a nuff nuff who only has data to fall back on, hasn't coached to my knowledge, hasn't even been on a match committee, and based on his use of other people's numbers..........
I can tell you where his 'one wood' is, in the words of Lord Flash Heart, " It's in my pants!!!!! Woof!!"

 

[BlueLocke]

Hopefully find a way to include Fogarty, Williams and E.Hollands in the midfield mix this week.

Not opposed to Kemp forward of the ball as well.
