Preview Rd 9 Carlton v Melbourne, MCG, Sunday May 16, 3.20pm - Team - Post #700

How tall is he?

Coincidentally I just checked and the answer is 186cms.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

How tall is he?

shorter but hoping he can have a similar impact as an elusive, medium size forward, think he can play bigger than what he actually is.

Not sure Gibbons, Betts, Owies, Fogarty at their respective sizes can all play in the same team let alone the same forward line, we continually broke down across half forward late in the game on Sunday when fatigued kicked in.

Once the pace is off the game these types don’t suddenly grow and opponents don’t get shorter...

Surely we don’t add Fisher and Murphy body types to this mix of smalls either.

 

[Matty411]

Givr Newy and King a run, play SPS in the fwd/mid rotation for a full game. Bring Murph back in and back Stocker, Cotts in.

OUT: Levi, Cripps, Williams, SOS
IN: TDK, Newman, Murphy, SPS
Setters or Dow sub.

 

[gbatman]

Like it. but i watched the whole reserves game. Setters, Kennedy and to a less extent LOB, showed nothing too inspiring.

No unfortunately you are right, you make the change to prove a point and set standards.

 

[Sector 7G]

Hopefully Honey can become our Georgiades or Riccardi type.

Gary Rohan is a better comparison

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Gary Rohan is a better comparison

Definitely
All players mentioned are elusive agile types who can hit the scoreboard.

If Honey can contribute on the lead, at ground level and also overhead on smaller opponents he is the type we need to play in Gibbons role.

Won’t hurt if can can kick set shots like Georgiades either...

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Fogarty had a defensive role on Caleb Daniel didn’t he ?

Nullified him quite well until Dogs pushed him further up the ground in the last quarter where he got a different match up and cut loose.

Probably gets Salem this week....

Completely destroyed him till the 4th when bevo threw him forward. Fog was one of our better players for the game easily.

Honey doesn't have the most convincing kicking style. Kicks it very high. Working hard to improve his goal accuracy in the player report a week ago as he is getting a lot of looks but an area to improve.

It is pretty clear to me we have too many plodders in the forward line at the moment and need to add extreme pace.

 

[Lukey Skywalker]

Hears an out of the box thought... Why not play Parks Forward this just to compete in the air & get ball to ground. He's played multi positions as a junior & with all our talls out I would push him forward & play TDK as a Forward ... he' s not going to get out marked to much either & work him back into the team.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Hi guys, sorry to intrude.
fu** me you lot take this stuff seriously, whatever changes you do isn't gonna change anything.
The result will be determined by how we play. If we're down 20%, and you're up 20% then it'll be close. We've played sh*t two weeks in a row, either we're due a good one or you've got us at a good time.
Good luck, stay wholesome

If you really miss Frosty can you see if you can get him back before Sunday....

Offer the Hawks Stephen May, that should get it done....

Need to add variety inside F50 for sure, just too small and too ineffectual in most positions.

Need to occupy Lever, Honey is a better option compared to Gibbons for this role, Fogarty to Salem and Hopefully Harry gets on his bike vs May.

HF- Honey, TDK, Fogarty
FF- Betts, Harry, Owies

Surely TDK will do things to our system this week..

Though coming up against Gawn first up is pretty rough.

Play them both, dropping Levi. TDK can ease in, with Pitto taking the brunt of Max ruck time.

 

[JustaBattler]

For this game:

I would play Williams off HBF/mid rotation
I would bring Honey in for Gibbons
I would play Setterfield on ball and Ed on a wing.
I would bring TDK in.
I would play Walsh on a wing

IN: TDK | Setterfield | Honey
OUT: SOJ ( inj) Gibbons Newnes

Plowman Weitering Parks
Docherty Jones Williams

Ed Cripps Walsh
TDK Setterfield Stocker
Cuningham Levi Fogarty
Eddie Harry Owies

IC: Saad, Honey Pittonet Cottrell

Honey is one of the most athletically gifted players on the list and has natural mongrel as well as long range kicking ability
TDK can share ruck duties with Pittonet and is also a handy tall up front
Walsh can play with a bit more space on a wing
Williams can add defensive skill and rebound run/kick off HBF and rotate mid for bursts
I prefer Fogarty over Gibbons and Newnes for a HFF / mid rotation. - safer hands and better tackler and field kick.

 

[Bluey19]

Yes he will and no we won't

Honey coming in, isn't at the expense of Gibbons

We will see.

Gibbons will be out of the team shortly.

 

[AT97]

Gary Rohan is a better comparison

don’t the guys mentioned play the 3rd tall role for their clubs? They all seem to be strong in the air. is that what honey is?

 

[Sector 7G]

Georgiardes and Riccardi are young key forwards. Honey is a midsized forward who is not going to take pack marks but is powerful and will get into space more like WHE. Not an ideal replacement for JSOS of McMG but is all we have got. Crocker would be straight in this week if he was on the list.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Though coming up against Gawn first up is pretty rough.

That’s why it’s important to have 2 options to battle Gawn.
Pitt & TDK will play this week and Casboult will be rested, knee is shot.

 

[TENACIOUS]

We are going to miss JSOS even more than we realise.

Absolutely..
Though think Honey may be the best replacement and may end up better than JSOS

 

[TENACIOUS]

Yes he will and no we won't

Honey coming in, isn't at the expense of Gibbons

Honey coming in will be for JSOS..

Not sure what the Fogarty Vs Gibbons debate is all about..
The player taking Gibbons spot is Eddie, Gibbons was playing well until Betts came in

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

How tall is he?

186 cm's, six cm's shorter than Georgiades.

I think both Fog and Gibbo have been effected poorly by Betts coming in, then again by Owies, but if those 2 continue to hit the scoreboard and apply pressure/tackle, then there isn't much downside to the team

 

[Benaly28]

IN:TDK,Newman,Honey,Sps

OUT:Levi,Jsos,Cottrell

Positional changes:

Docherty to midfield.
Sps to a wing.

One could almost say there might be a bit of upside even.

I still reckon Fogarty's going alright, Gibbons only so-so.
