AFL team selection: Blues recall four

Carlton's Round 9 team is in.

www.carltonfc.com.au

Round 9 team v Melbourne
Backs:	Brodie Kemp	Jacob Weitering	Lachie Cowan
Half-backs:	Alex Cincotta	Mitch McGovern	Nic Newman
Centreline:	Ollie Hollands	Patrick Cripps	Blake Acres
Half-forwards:	Jack Martin	Harry McKay	Elijah Hollands
Forwards:	Matthew Owies	Charlie Curnow	Tom De Koning
Followers:	Marc Pittonet	Sam Walsh	Matthew Kennedy
Interchange:	Jordan Boyd	Adam Cerra	Matthew Cottrell
	Corey Durdin	George Hewett
Emergencies:	David Cuningham	Orazio Fantasia	Lewis Young

 

[Arr0w]

I think Hewett would be a poor choice of sub

I agree, it will come down to how we shift magnets and rotate players

I'd have Durdin as the sub

 

[Arr0w]

He was out but clearly Williams didn't get up.

That glut must really be sore

 

[Sickblue]

I think against the dees we will opt for the extra big body around the pill so would be staggered if Durdin isn’t sub.

 

[Blue4Life]

Durdin over Cunningham?…Cunningham provides something and durdin provides nothing…couldn’t lay 1 tackle as a small pressure forward last week

 

[Christou2Kouta]

I hope someone else can produce 3 goal assists like Cuners did last week.

In what room ffs!?

The roomer room.

 

[The Fantom]

Durdin over Cunningham?…Cunningham provides something and durdin provides nothing…couldn’t lay 1 tackle as a small pressure forward last week

Yeh this one baffles me a bit… 3 goal assists too after being out for 5 or so games. Suspect Durdin will be the sub.

 

[Ezayyak]

Cuningham dropped is baffling

 

[JJBagger]

Cuningham dropped is baffling

Kennedy named on field may have something to do with it?

 

[myblueroan]

Cunners should’ve stayed in over durdin


Why play durdin against Melbourne who love playing 3rd man up against our Talls? Guaranteed lever starts on durdin and just runs off him all night

This!!!

 

[Red_man2008]

Dropping a player that had 3 direct goal assists is horrible match committee decisions imo. Durdin was a liability offensively and defensively. This could bite ALOT.

Orazio is second in the team for goal assists, and people want him dropped every week….

 

[Worm4]

Does anyone think we will see Orazio for the rest of the year ? Reckon he is cooked.
Durdin very lucky considering NO score involvements last week . Embarrassing for a small foward.

 

[MJS]

I like the ins...hopefully Ollie refreshed, Kemp was a surprise for me to be dropped last week...good to see him back, and a big cheer for Gov & Martin. Lets hope we do it.

 

[JuddgementDay]

With this lineup, it makes sense to have Durdin as the sub.

We could used an energise player running around in the last quarter and a bit whilst other players are getting weary

Also, the team is shaping up nicely now.
Our structure looks a lot better.
People forget how much Martin adds to our forward mix - we've been missing him badly!

 

[Beyond Blue]

Cunners should’ve stayed in over durdin

I reckon Martin or Elijah will go to Lever.

McDonald and May take Charlie and Harry.

I reckon Durdin is the sub

What’s the one thing our side lacks………Speed and we omit him.

Poor choice,Durdin sooo lucky.

Marchy returning via VFL.

 

[luke livingston seagull]

Maybe just being cautious with Cunners coming off a 6-day break? That’s the only reasoning I can think of to have Durds in over him atm.

 

[T2B_]

That's what I was thinking. Being very cautious with him I reckon.

 

[blues4flag]

Cottrell back to half forward with Hollands back in the side might have squeezed Cuners out. Perhaps club thinks he'll benefit from a run in the 2s after a lengthy lay off, especially with Martin coming back in.

Plenty of run up forward between Martin, Cottrell and Eli.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Very good.

 

[Blue4Life]

Feel like durdin needs 6 months in the vfl to learn how to be a small forward
