Preview Changes v Carlton, Rd 9

Melksham needs to go out for a small forward. Kozzy and Spargo are doing so much up the ground that we're left bare of crumbers. Play Chandler or Bedford.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Out - Melksham

In - Chandler

I'd look at making Jordon the sub and bring in Sparrow. Jordon gets enough of the ball but his disposal was poor tonight.

Petty looked bloody shaky, but it was a great call keeping TMac forward. So Petty gets a good run at it.

I thought Melksham was good tonight. Just my opinion, but I'd be keeping him in.

With Casey having no game this weekend, I am going to say no change this week (fingers crossed the Petracca cork isn't serious).

Don't ask for him fellow Kade Chandler enthusiasts, it's never going to happen.

Can post the same meme with Jake Melksham's name in place of Kade's and send it to Goody please.

After 2 hard games I think this will be a real danger game for us to get up for.
Chandler in for either Fritsch or Melksham.

You dropping Fritsch or based on injury?

I'm dropping him after one bad game, looks like he needs a rest and Chandler will bring some more urgency into the forward line.

Big call. 18 goals from first six games including six just last week.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Unchanged.

 

[SugarHealey]

Sparrow in; Brayshaw to Sub:... too many mistakes with the ball, almost cost us the game.
......................

Fritta is too casual when we don't have the ball. His intensity needs to become consistently good. He eases off too often.

Max was half asleep in the 1st. But responded somewhat, later in the game.

Stop using sound logic and reasoning against my raw emotion Gotta shoehorn Chandler in somewhere.

 

[dylan93]

Could be unchanged, or a few changes if players are sore.

Melksham's 1 goal might unfortunately keep him in the team. Bloke really needs a spell in the 2s and a reality check though.

It's a shame that Sparrow, Chandler, Weideman can't break into the team ATM but it is what it is.

Jones for the sub to bring that game total up.

 

[bjwilliams]

Chandler for Melk the only one for mine. Brayshaw is close but we don’t have anyone to come in for him.

Simon says 'Petty stays in for now"
Can understand Fritsch being held by good opponent , but some of his efforts late in the game in midfield were not good enough .
Trac looked sore as * , but hopefully gets up.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Again thought Petty looked like a concern in the first quarter but largely didn’t notice him after that, clearly improving even if slowly. Until we lose it’s not an issue for mine, esp given there’s no ******* way TMac should be moved back and Joel Smith isn’t fit.

Doesn't matter if Smith is fit. Bringing him in would be terrible.

Probably just Melk out for Chandler. Brayshaw on notice. Stop panicking so much Gus.

If you think Brayshaw is bad you’re in for a real treat when whoever replaces him on the wing turns out to be a lot worse

He is playing pretty badly. Has to be said.

Streak ends this week or we thump Carlton. Last two weeks we’ve gotten away with two pretty average performances carried by some individual efforts and our back 6. Positive is Carlton play a pretty free wheeling style so we should find scoring easier.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Given the garbage we’ve served up against Carlton in 2017, 2019 and 2020 to still come away with the win, this is the game I’m least concerned by for the rest of the year. Huge respect for E Curnow, Walsh and Weitering - if we can control them we should get the job done easily.
