I suspect you'll find a spot for Rozee in your R4 update...

That aged well after just 1 week ..... lmfao .....
 
Essemdon supporters' thoughts on Merrett's game last night?

I got the impression he was standing Rozee for much of the night, and didn't have a lot of interest in the defensive part of the game?
Merrett is an attacking midfielder but he still digs in with defensive work. 5 tackles to Merrett, just 3 for Parish and then 14 Bombers with 2 or less.

Their pressuring as a unit is abysmal.

Hmm. Fair point.

I just thought he could have done a little more to try to quell Rozee, as I noticed him line up on him on a number of occasions, and within 3 seconds Rozee was in 5 metres of space.

It's not just tagging but any semblance of accountable 1v1 midfield match ups (e.g to stop a midfielder on fire) that has diminished over the past decade.

If you're a gun midfielder you won't be getting much attention outside of maybe a couple of games each year.

Not sure why Vlaustin in there, he played one good game against us.

LGTMI!

Tbh probably chuck Butters in ahead of Cogs or Viney, but apart from that this is pretty much how I see it.

McKay has been a better player than both Charlie and Hogan but I don’t think he belongs in ahead of either of them, or in the side at all.

Nick Daicos, Harry Sheezel and Nasiah Wanganeen-Millera will likely make it in later in the year.

Looking like it will be a Carlton loaded side this year.

Cripps, McKay, Curnow, McGovern, Newman all in the starting 18.

Acres getting a squad spot.

Weitering in month will be locked in CHB too.

Oh boy.

Realistically unless your team does a Geelong in 2007 you are not getting 5 Carlton players in the starting 18 of the AA team. You likely would not get 5 Carlton players in the best 22 team.
