Preview Rd 2 Geelong v Carlton Thursday March23 2023, MCG @ 720 pm

[year of the cat]

Parfitt

He was the sub so wouldn’t be dropped for the 2 incoming players unless one is made the sub which is unlikely.

 

[goyoucatters]

I think it's quite possible that Cooper is made the sub.

Not preferable, perhaps, but certainly possible.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Yeah agree Stewy and Parf have to be the names.

I'm thinking there's an outside chance the late out is Hawkins for Neale

 

[cats_09]

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

I don't even know who that is.

 

[fpm84]

I don't even know who that is.

He’s their third best midfielder (second best at the moment with Walsh out).

 

[cats_09]

Whyte may well be the sub unless there’s a late change - we‘ve been told he’ll be debuting tomorrow night but is currently on the emergency list

 

[cats_09]

He’s their third best midfielder (second best at the moment with Walsh out).

Apparently one of their best last week also

 

[fpm84]

Cooper Whyte named an emergency - so there’s either a planned late change or he’ll be the sub

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I thought he was a tennis player.

 

[cats_09]

I thought he was a tennis player.

That’s Cruz

will play his first game in Cats colours after playing 83 games for the Gold Coast Suns across six seasons.

Cooper Whyte is the other addition and is set to make this AFL debut. The 20-year-old is a left-footed midfielder who is tough in the contest with a touch of flair. He was taken with the 64th selection in the 2021 NAB AFL Draft.

They replace Tom Stewart (injured) and Brandan Parfitt

[magic_johnson!]

After all injury concerns that’s a good looking team to me… only one change to the 22.

 

[Tony Barber]

This team doesn’t make sense.

Last week Scott said we probably went in light on defenders. And then we lost Stewart.

So they go and replace Stewart with a mid.
We are in trouble.

My guess is Blicavs goes down back.

Have you seen their small forwards? Not exactly names to lose sleep over. It's no Henry and perhaps underdone SDK that we need to worry about.

 

[#6 Thorp #7 Selwood LOL]

Handy.

 

[Chinacats]

Only 6 one on ones last week against the woods apparently according to champion data. One of our lowest ! Need to test Carlton defenders a bit more…who were very good last week against 67 tiger forward entries.
Zippy durdin in for them … Parfitt out a good move!

 

[FredLeDeux]

My guess is Blicavs goes down back.

That would be my guess, too.
Because Scott said so.

GEELONG has made two changes to its team to play Carlton in a Round 2 blockbuster at the MCG on Thursday night.

Jack Bowes will play his first game in Cats colours after playing 83 games for the Gold Coast Suns across six seasons.

Scott said before he didn't like the thought of debuting someone as a sub so if Coop is a sub ill be disappointed.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Scott said before he didn't like the thought of debuting someone as a sub so if Coop is a sub ill be disappointed.

I reckon he's debuted someone else as sub before. Maybe last year.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Honestly, Carlton’s team on paper doesn’t impress me... Walsh and Hewitt out of the guts is huge.

Can’t wait to see TDK ruck against Stanley and hopefully have a few contests V SDK.

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Surely Parfitt gets the flick?


Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Parfitt would have been a star at Geelong West

Well on 2nd thoughts - maybe not so - i dont think he is anywhere near as good a footballer as Tony Gilmore

 

[Art Vandelay_]

We are in trouble.

LOL.

Classic VC melodrama.

 

[Frappe]

This team doesn’t make sense.

Last week Scott said we probably went in light on defenders. And then we lost Stewart.

So they go and replace Stewart with a mid.
We are in trouble.

We didn't lose the game last week down back - we lost it in the midfield so I'm guessing we're looking for more run??
