Game Day Marsh Series - Carlton v Fremantle Saturday 29 Feb 7.10pm (EST) @ David Grays Arena

[HARKER]

Lots of missing may come into contention here, but how many?

Kreuzer, McKay, McGovern, SPS, Marchbank, Macreadie, Fisher & Martin. (Curse of the M's)
Plenty of talent in the shed and anyone that doesn't front up here, may be far from a certainty come round 1.


EDIT: Who dropped the ladies team in here? Come on....Who was it?

Preview Marsh Series

 

[Brezsa]

I will be going rare to see Carlton here twice in a season. Really hoping Eddie makes the trip over

 

[Arr0w]

Not sure Eddie is named

 

[Mr_Plow]

Apparently this surface is pretty s**t. If so, not sure if Docherty will/should play.

Addendum: statement now redacted in view of available evidence.

 

[Aphrodite]

Promising Blue battling quad injury, could miss pre-season opener

Carlton could be without defender Sam Petrevski-Seton for its first Marsh Community Series game against Fremantle in eight days' time, with the promising youngster battling a quad injury

I'm heading down to Busselton for the long weekend... have convinced the gf that I'll be driving 100 minutes back towards Perth to watch the boys and then head back>

Ticket already bought.

 

[Arr0w]

SPS has suffered quads and hamstrings even through juniors

One of the reasons he doesn't always extend himself consistently

 

[Mr_Plow]

Summary of that injury report:

Fisher - soreness - available
Martin - soreness - available



Weitering - quad - test
Kreuzer - heart - test
Marchbank - load management - test
Macreadie - load management - test
SPS - quad - 1-2 weeks
McGovern - soreness - 1-2 weeks
McKay - groin - 2-3 weeks
Curnow - knee - indefinite
Kemp - knee - indefinite

 

[HARKER]

That's unfortunate. So many injuries, so early in the piece.

At least we now know what's going on with SPS, Martin and Fisher.
I reckon there's more to Martin missing than simply training loads.

 

[Jimmae]

Cripps will miss this game due to the charity match.

[CJMB]

Based off the comments in that Riley Beveridge article and what I saw last night, guessing we might see something along the lines of:

FB: Plowman, Jones, Simpson
HB: Docherty, Weitering, Williamson

FOL: Kreuzer, Murphy, Curnow
C: Newnes, Setterfield, Walsh

HF: Martin, Casboult, Silvagni
FF: Betts, De Koning, Fisher

INT: Cuningham, Gibbons, Newman, Pittonet, Dow, O'Brien, Philp, Kennedy

EMG: Honey, Ramsay, Stocker, Goddard

Kreuzer, Martin & Fisher come in, Cripps the notable out for SOO.

Cripps will miss this game due to the charity match.

Two positives:

1) The charity match won't actually be an extra match for Cripps
2) We get to what life is like without Cripps - but not when premiership points are at stake...

Not really an issue when playing Freo

Not sure where you heard that but all WAFL grounds are usually in really good nick especially this time of year.

Not sure where I read it. There was reference to the surface being quite firm and an injury risk.

Not really an issue when playing Freo

I was at a wedding holding up the phone and pretending I was recording their special moment when this happened...

Was actually having my own special moment.

 

[Jabba73]

Who the * is David Gray and why does he own the stadium?

 

[Jimmae]

My take:

FB: Plowman Jones Marchbank
HB: Docherty Weitering Williamson
C: Murphy Walsh O'Brien
HF: Cuningham JSOS Fisher
FF: Martin Casboult Betts

R: Kreuzer Setterfield E.Curnow

Int: Gibbons, Newnes, Simpson, Stocker, Dow, TDK, Pittonet, Macreadie

This sorts out some positional battles:

Newnes vs O'Brien
Martin vs Cuningham vs Gibbons vs Fisher (HF/mid, three to play R1)
Stocker vs JSOS vs Dow (inside mid/HF in the absence of Cripps)

That also frees up some time for TDK to have another crack at his forward craft, and Macreadie to rotate into the defence in place of Jones or Weitering.

Newman can come back in for the final match to try and put his hand up for selection in a battle against Marchbank and SPS.

Who the fu** is David Gray and why does he own the stadium?

fairly significant farm input wholesale business if it’s the David Grays I’m thinking of in WA.

 

[tarczonandjane]

Is this the Rhys Palmer cup?

 

[Bluella]

Who the fu** is David Gray and why does he own the stadium?

My next door neighbour's name is Dave Gray. Pretty sure if he came into enough money to buy a stadium he'd manage to piss it up a wall.

He was pretty “Ugly” as I recall.
