Preview R6: Carlton v Bulldogs Sun 12th July 6.45PM @ Metricon - Team - Post #937

[DEliades]

Jeez, if we bring in Moore for McGov or H, we’re worse off. The bench might be the statement to give them a rocker but no way we weaken ourselves

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Newnes' spot is safe.

Fish is in for PHilp you'd say.

Then it comes down to whether Kennedy comes in for McKay.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Is it fact that the omissions have to come from the bench? Surely anyone in the squad of 22 can come out.

Believe we would cop a fine. Unless an injury.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

We're somewhat back to 'stop Cripps stop Carlton' now that Murphy & Ed aren't playing at the level they were in the 2nd half of last year.
Would love for Kennedy to have gotten his body better and be ready to step in and help

 

[HBF]

If it’s raining all weekend including during the game after 3 games have been played on Metricon it’s not surprising they drop one of mckay it Mcgovern. For me I’d drop mckay. He needs a wake up call.

Not a bad call that. Always feel like Kennedy usually plays well when he plays forward.

 

[TerryWallet]

So CamPo has vaulted Stocker, LOB & Dow.

I love his endeavour, he’s, .....entertaining.

Dow is injured and been unavailable for selection since the resumption. Before the injury he was in the side. Stocker and O'Brien continually not being picked over some of the guys who are, is a worry on a number of fronts. For them and for us.

 

[Coops93]

Polson is a shock.

Of the 4 I'd say Fish and Kennedy are ins for McKay and Philp. In the rain we probably drop a tall

 

[Arr0w]

Moore is not as talented as McKay or Gov. But is more mobile than Harry and as mobile as Gov. What he brings is some mongrel and will apply more pressure and tackles than both. Kennedy may dislodge the other. Good wake up call I say

Fisher is a no brainer

By all reports, Polson has being doing well as a small defender, but may have a negating role on Daniel

Others seem they are lucky to survive, Betts and Murphy need to extract a digit

 

[BoundbyKreuze]

Not a bad call that. Always feel like Kennedy usually plays well when he plays forward.

For me it’ll be fisher and Kennedy for Philp and mckay.

 

[smashbox gill]

One thing about McGov is he played well against Geelong and Essendon. But he only had 5 and 10 touches.

He’s set the bar so low that we consider those great performances for him

 

[HBF]

For me it’ll be fisher and Kennedy for Philp and mckay.

If its raining then I think thats the way to go.

 

[Baggers25]

Have to agree. If Polson or Moore come in, then we are going nowhere fast. Absolutely has to be Fish and Bam Bam.

 

[Baggers25]

Nil excuses for a poor start this week. Plenty of time to recoup and set up for the dogs. Need to bring intensity and tackle pressure.

 

[Eiffel 65]

Callum Moore has been pretty close to our best in the reserves every week.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him get the nod over either McGovern or McKay.

 

[KnightsBlue]

Make us proud kennedy. We want one thing if you come to the squad.... out of these select options.... 1. Kick a bag... four goals or more please... 2. Have a blinder stats wise. 20 damaging disposals with score involvments, or go big with 30 plus disposals with at least 50% efficiency... pick one of option 1 or 2.. dont let us down son

 

[SurreyBlue]

I doubt it just yet but Polson for the BP would be a smart move. Think it will happen just not yet.

 

[Arr0w]

Have to agree. If Polson or Moore come in, then we are going nowhere fast. Absolutely has to be Fish and Bam Bam.

Does it matter as long as it contributes to being more competitive/winning

 

[KnightsBlue]

Polson has shown some flashy moments.. but also had some howlers. I suppose thats why we all seem to have this same "opinion" of him...maybe he wasnt ready early in his career. Until now. doesnt really matter who pulls on the jumper. As long as they give all their effort for the mighty navy blues

 

[thylacine60]

why/how has cam_po's name suddenly emerged from the gloom?

 

[Stamos]

Shame that JSOS didn’t get up for it.

******* scum Merrett

 

[SurreyBlue]

why/how has cam_po's name suddenly emerged from the gloom?

He has been emergency a couple of times this year already I think and 2 weeks ago the write up was very good.
Believe in the kid.

 

[F_therest]

Shame that JSOS didn’t get up for it.

I want to see Kennedy. I still have hope he could be a good player for us.

 

[Benaly28]

There has to be a good reason why Stocker and LOB aren’t being selected,especially if Polson is in the extended squad.

Nah he played well if you look at his overall influence and not just the stats sheet. And the hope is that he's building and will get better.

Callum Moore has been pretty close to our best in the reserves every week.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him get the nod over either McGovern or McKay.

My guess is Gov & McKay will stay this time, but this is a warning to them that they could get dropped unless they perform and tells Moore he's doing well and putting himself in contention with his performances.
