Prediction Changes vs Carlton

[Saintly Viewed]

& poke him with a stick before he runs out...

Love it

Love it

 

[Vankri]

While I agree that it would be nice to keep it settled, when else is a good time to debut Sier?
He's going to be important depth later this year, because I don't have much faith that our injury list will shrink. So I think he'll need to get a taste for it sooner rather than later.

I think we have decent replacements within the current 22 if injuries hurt us further on the inside.

I get your point but is it worth sacrificing the chemistry we’re building in the middle? Top end comes before depth for mine, and we rotated roles too much and too often in the past few years so I’d like for us to stabilise there.

 

[Pie eyed]

Carlton board has a bit of discussion going on the merits of bringing in Pickett after just one VFL game, in which he gathered all of four possessions.

If we don't destroy them at a molecular level this week it will be a failure.

Byron Pickett?

 

[Bored_Pie]

Tom Phillips vs Lang/Kerridge hahaha. He's going to have another field day.

 

[Carringbush2010]

They built continuity into their 22 and right now we’ve got that.

Bookmark this everyone! does 2010 and 11 ring a bell? Continuity brings confidence to play the way as instructed by the coaching panel, it's a no brainer!

Does Mayne have the skill set of those trying to push in? No, is he contributing to our winning ways? F*** yeah!

Continuity, this year this is allowing our DE to improve - dramatically so. Continuity, this is allowing us to let confidence flourish.

Break that and you play with fire, that's why the match committee are forcing those more skilled players through the 2's.............. prove that you as a player won't break that continuity.

This is not about Mayne per se, but rather the process and the why of selection. It's evident that the premiers of the last years - in particular the dogs had continuity regardless of their injuries.

Seems obvious the club and the match committee in particular are doing the right thing.

Don't f*** with it!

Byron Pickett?

Would be on the park more than this kid.

 

[Bad Horse]

The more I see in recent days, the more I think half measures are not good enough.

This morning, I saw a crow circle my car three times from the left. And last night, a bettong asked me directions to the nearest Beer, Wine and Spirits outlet and advice on choices of personal lubricant. Of course that may have been influenced by the thirteen tequilas and indeterminate Jagerbombs I had consumed. Finally, Duncan's horses did turn wild and break out of their stalls, a thing most passing strange given we had been playing canasta only moments before and discussing carrot futures. They claimed I farted, but they would, wouldnt they.

Omens, Auguries and Portents dire my friends. And it can be no coincidence that we are rapidly approaching the Solstice, a time most portentous and significant in pagan religions. Pagan...

I fear my friends. Domus' thread has me thinking, and I know now I fear. What if the winter never ends? Winter is coming, and there are no dragons to save us from the terrors of the threat from beyond the wall that would cleave your very tongue to the top of your mouth in fear which is like how it feels the morning after those Jagerbombs but markedly less vomity. We are not Melbourne supporters who flee to the mountains and embrace the coming darkness as an opportunity to put chains on the range rover and feel like they actually have testicles for a brief, golden moment as they go off piste and break an ankle.

The threat, is ponies. And the signs are clear: Carlton are their messenger. Pagan...it all comes back to Pagan, as any Carlton supporter will tell you as they curl up, broken and bereft to keen away their lost decades of undiluted shitness in some dire stable, lamenting the whole Mick Martyn debacle and the aftermath of the O'Reilly shitstorm and covering themselves in faeces in some atavistic otherkin bonding with the spirit of John Elliott and his ken.

Did you know that Carlton, in old Saxon, means hole filled with shit? No? Well it damn well should...

At this time, as the light retreats from the world, seemingly never to return, how can we fight such forces of darkness as ponies and Carlton in one? There is only one right answer, one the followers of Pagan would understand.

Burn them all on a pyre to appease the all powerful divinities.

The torching starts this weekend, and who better to initiate such a rite than a S(i)eer?

Bring matches. And prepare to point and laugh. Or they will come...

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

I tend to agree that Brown in for Wells is more likely than Sier in. As much as we all want to unleash the Bear, Sier seems like a more likely inclusion if one of our bigger midfielders, God forbid, go out. Like Adams or Sidebottom.

We have better options than Blair.

1. Brown is a better like for like option
2. Sier or Wills are better midfield options (swing another mid forward to the role Wells has held for the past two weeks)
3. Appleby or Murray are better defensive options (swing Maynard or Greenwood upfield)

Blair will be servicable if he comes in (gotta love him, he never gives up) but the others have actual upside and in most cases form that is the equal if not better than Blairs.

You are welcome to simply disagree with me rather than be snide and sarcastic.

Clearly the stats don't support you on Brown v Blair, even if you ignore the 11 games v 157 games experience in the role, even on just this years performances, or even just at VFL level YTD. He may well be selected but he's not yet offering what Blair does. Stop confusing potential for reality and stating it as fact.

As to the others, feel free to totally ignore any comments that don't suit you like disrupting aspects (defense and midfield) that are working well just to make it work for you.

I think I would like to see you make a special submission before the match committee.

If i'm right about Blair its time for goat entrails and a wicker man so that would make sense.

 

[unplugged]

Please no Blair. In a game plan which has us taking the game on and handballing forward, I don't think I could handle more of his handballs backwards. Even if they're safe and to space, they are a momentum killer!

I reckon Murray or Appleby in for Wells. Put Maynard in the guts. Start him on Cripps and at the contest and if it doesn't work, put Pendlebury on him like last time.

 

[JB1975]

I'm not sure that Sier is sufficiently learned in the ways of the seer to read the entrails of a goat, but he's certainly strong enough to stuff the selectors into a big basket if he doesn't get a game.

 

[DuckToaster]

He's coming to get you Cripps! In and under!!!

Sneaking a look into Buck's office like:

 

[Horaceg]

Because he has Not Re-Signed Officially and it's not done until he Officially puts Pen to paper

Correct and we don't know if there is a ridiculous offer out there.

I think he wants to stay, I hope he wants to stay and honestly think he will but if someone offers him stupid money then I would not begrudge him taking it.

He would be dead to me though

agreed.

Sier in, Wells out.

 

[MyManLynch]

Additions for squad:
IN: Applelby, Sier, Brown, Murray, Wills (only 1 to be in the final 22)
OUT: Wells

I’m going for Appleby...release Greenwood to sit on Cripps.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Hm...Varcoe confirmed to not be in.

Then personally, I'd want Sier, Wills or Murray in.

Not interested in Crocker, Brown or Blair coming in thanks.

Hold Cripps and they have nothing, I hope Bucks does not get arrogant and just lets him run. We need to treat this as if they are actually in contention as we should every game.

Lose this an I will have every Carlton supporter I have ever known wanting to speak with me. Who needs that!!

We havent put a hard tag on anybody all year. Why start now?

Pendlebury tagged Cripps last time we played them

He's apparently done a 'string. No Blairy. Too bad, so sad...

Blairy is undead. And a pony. No mere pinged hamstring (even a Collingwood "slight awareness") will hold him back from his rightful role as CHF.

 

[TradeDraft]

I remember I think in 2011/2012 we where playing the Blues when they had Equal there worst Losing Streak and we could beat them to set a New Record.?

Hopefully not same result as then

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Pendlebury tagged Cripps last time we played them

Thats why I qualified my comment with the expression "hard tag".
