Preview Rd 14 - Carlton v GWS Sat June 19 7.25pm @ Giants Stadium

[Red Bull]

Very good.
Now we’re getting somewhere.
The best omission may have been Barker …

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Parks, Fogarty and Kennedy will go at the contest. No fear in those guys.

Kennedy obviously takes Setterfield's place in the side, albeit not around half back. Both taller one paced inside mid types. Kennedy can go forward and take a grab though which is important without a genuine CHF in the side.

We have speed down back with Saad and Williams, two genuine tall defenders in Weitering and Jones, toughness in Stocker and Parks and footskills with Newman. It's not a bad mix. Shame Plowman didn't get up for it.

Walsh named on a wing and Dow on the ball, which I don't mind.

I’m glad we have rewarded Kennedy on his form. Last chance too I imagine. Another proper defender is a good move and everyone who was dropped deserved to be.
Good selections imo

When was the last time we could say that?

 

[Stamos]

So XX = broken hand

 

[BlueBayou]

Happy with the changes. Hopefully the 'review' has woken some up that we don't gift games to underperformers.

 

[Stephene]

Good changes....glad Dow stayed in...big fan of Parksie and Fog...and hope Kennedy can get off the fringe as he has some talent....big win for Paddy's 50th...Go Blues

 

[The Fantom]

Honey not even an emergency, does anyone know if he’s playing VFL or still has hammy issues?

 

[smashbox gill]

I like the fact Murph not even an emergency, no donating to the 300 game cause.

It took a review for Murphy to finally get dropped

What review

 

[smashbox gill]

Keen to see what Power does with the midfield. Rotations, setup and hopefully cameos from sos fog Martin and fish

Has it been announced power will be looking after the midfield?

yes

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Change in treatment of Murphy over past few weeks somewhat pointed.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

I like our changes a lot.. I just wonder if now with Mumford out injured if it’s a good opportunity to play TDK as the sole ruckmen and can give Pitto a rest.

Warning to all:

No player abuse will be tolerated.

No sweeping attacking generalisations about groups of posters who express negative opinions or positive opinions will be tolerated.

You know me to be diplomatic to a fault, but frankly, these board divide wars are pissing me off.

Sayers was actively talking with all staff and players during the “mini hub” in Sydney, it wasn’t a secret.

 

[The old campaigner]

Where is Plowman, have I missed something?

 

[Stamos]

Where is Plowman, have I missed something?

still injured

Come on Bam Bam! I want this kid to make it so bad!

They have two big young rucks in, one named up forward. De Koning is our ruck/forward just as Briggs is for them. Going in with JSOS as CHF and De Koning rucking the whole game will be too tough. We need another tall forward in to be able to play TDK as sole ruck. Oscar McDonald would be perfect.

Only 4 players 28+ years old. Happy with that age demographic

 

[jimsta10]

I will shoot myself in the foot if we play Ed at halfback..

Time for Crippa to go into beast mode...none of this pussy footing.

 

[BlueLocke]

Definitely needed the extra defender and Parks should allow for some flexibility around Docherty, Newman and Stocker playing further up the field.
IMO, Doc is not good as a wingman. Wins the ball but not great defensively around the contest/stoppage.

Kennedy can take take Setterfield’s midfield minutes and Dow can hopefully get some continuity. Walsh will have 25+ regardless of where we play him, but I’d love his hard running to be utilised on the wing this week.

Happy with the changes but I will go postal if I see Stocker isolated against Greene deep in the defensive 50.
