Unofficial Preview Changes & pre match discussion vs Carlton (Good Friday Footy)

[Merlin007]

Wasn't Dawson coming back from injury though? Needs more size on his frame. Boner is a better matchup having probably played on them before.

Dawson had a knock the week before but played a full game last weekend and went alright. With our two best tall defenders out, he still can't get a game, so it's a bit puzzling as to why he got a contract extension.

Luckily I didn’t take your nuffy bet

But we all lose as we have to see bailey spud it up another week instead of a young gun in Goater

Mods, you'll have to ban him since he's not going quietly.

He essentially 5th KPD in line
So is the last resort if 3kpd injured
Could still get 1 more year in that depth spot

McKay, Logue, Wardlaw ins next week?

Bonar, Taylor and who else would be most vulnerable? Bergman? Turner?

Goater should come back in next week

Mate, do you seriously look at what the club staff are saying about Wardlaw and think he's a chance for a debut in the next few weeks? His fitness is at a level where it's worth mentioning him in the injury update. Forget him, we won't see him for a while

Give them a chance Tazaa. You can’t stick the boots in to em before they’ve even played

Coaches seem to rate him internally mate

So far he seems entrenched in the 22 not on the cusp of it.

 

[Nylex]

Do carlton still have that player who they call "WOOF!!!" every time he kicks it?

That used to create atmosphere.

He married Kouta I think

 

[FlyHigh18]

Called it. Bonar needs to be in to help create a stoppage game. His spoil ability is elite. Rebounds will be slow.

If he gets 35 and 2 tomorrow he makes a pretty compelling case though.

I just find it fascinating there are 2 defensive key position players out and when they come back in there isn’t an obvious 2 to omit. Same with Wardlaw when he’s ready. Whose spot does he take in the midfield?

 

[Ruckle]

So if Greenwood is the sub and was subbed last week is it worth assuming that perhaps he is being "managed". He took a fair battering the first two weeks.

I just find int fascinating there are 2 defensive pillars out and when they come back in there isn’t an obvious 2 to omit. Same with Wardlaw when he’s ready. Whose spot does he take in the midfield?

Fair enough. It certainly isn’t a case of like for likes with the replacements. I see your point

 

[Liam Boy]

Can you please stop with every post saying Scott is going to be dropped. You are wrong every week.

There's a quick and easy way to make it stop:

 

[danj]

Looking at the way the team is set up I reckon we are backing in our mids to tora tora tora and try not to trouble the backline so we will need to kick a big score. Looking forward to it and I expect Clarkson to be in the box until the last quarter when he will be ‘bringing it home baby!’

Do it!!!!

[zoomba23]

Backline on paper appears horrific. Too slow to handle the smalls, too short to handle the talls. This will be interesting

 

[Liam Boy]

Praying for late change Archer. Can blanket smalls and good for a spoil or intercept mark

 

[Rod Stroker]

That backline looks chronically undersized. Bonar over Dawson is disappointing but not surprising. I hope we haven't lost this at selection.

Hopefully fate will origami those paper sheets into swans this week.

It will be a bloodbath.

Death by a thousand paper cuts?

Scott, Scott and/or Scott apparently.

 

[Val Keating]

Bonar is constantly getting asked to play out of his weight class yet people hang s**t on him.

Hope he gets a crack at playing small at some stage so we can judge him fairly.

 

[Reginald0]

But if he isn’t wouldn’t they say he was injured and if he is injured why is he named as emergency
So Greenwood has been omitted
