Preview Changes vs Carlton

[Big Kahuna Boot]

Very deliberate elbow to the face of#20[Armitage]

..didn't catch him with a pointy elbow [luckily for both involved], but did solidly connect with his upper arm against Armitage's head,, and more importantly got off the ground to do so which is always frowned upon.. ..in his favour is Armitage was not hurt.. ..but still only a good record will save him.. ..whats it currently like..?..

 

[rgauci]

So do you guys realistically think Sandilands and Mundy are coming back?

Mundy I can see but Sandilands..

I think the opposite. Sandi more likely than mundy.

I think the opposite. Sandi more likely than mundy.

Seppo overheard in the change room after the Saints game that Mundy actually passed a late fitness test. Based on that you'd think he'd be good to go. Harvey has stated that both will join training this week.

 

[Quokka]

We'll know soon either way (re Mcpharlin), suprised Mcphee only got a week. Judging by the wafl reports and possible injuries to JA and Mellington its looking more and more like the only changes will be Mundy and Sandi/Griffen if fit.

Would be really worried about Mundy coming straight back but if fit enough it has to be risked. Give Clarke some support and we're not out of it just yet.

 

[sumavich]

In - Griffen
Mundy

Out - McPhee (suspended)
Hinckley ( never ever ever again)

Que: us losing the toss, kicking into the wind in the 1st and then copping a torrent of rain in the 2nd.

Followed by a slip over by a player not wearing screw in studs resulting in a broken leg.

So Mellington is out for the season, not a bad thing. Should play more games in 2012. Saw de Boer out and about on the weekend, could barely walk...

 

[Purplrrr]

a worrying potential change for round 21... maybe someone can confirm for me.

carlton out of navy blue, and into baby blue? :/

That got McPhee and Mellington the wrong way around for the Elbow

Don't know why ,but I thought the game was a night game.
I'm pretty confident the game should be played in dry ,but with a 2 or 3 goal breeze.Definitely some confidence on here now that sandi & mundy will
play.Jeez we are due for a win.

 

[Malifice]

I would play Hill on Garlett or Betts. He has played best off half back.

Ibbo should play on Judd, Mzungu on Murphy and Mayne to forward tag Gibbs.

Dont get sucked in with Betts.

He's a leading marking forward, not a crumber. (Just a really really small one with really really big shorts)



IMO Betts would win that matchup; Hill probably isnt that good defensively.

 

[samseenee]

Spot on... always wondered why Eddie wore such big shorts!

 

[Malifice]

Spot on... always wondered why Eddie wore such big shorts!

Scott (Kangaroos) was the first coach to really cotton on to it this year.

He plays as a teeny tiny lead up full forward mostly. His crumbing aint bad either, but he gets the majority of his goals as a lead up marking forward.

Garletts our more traditional 'front and centre' crumber type.

Should be interesting to see how our forwardline structures up if both sandi & mundy play.sandi,pav & kep could really stretch carltanks backs this weekend.
