Preview RND 15 - Carlton v Fremantle Sunday 30th June 5.20PM (EST) @ Optus Stadium - Final Team Post #517

Jones fit.

Selection is going to be interesting

Honestly don't know what to do...Casboult does not deserve to be dropped and has been playing the ruck support role. Jones also deserves to be in the team based on form before his injury.

But can we have Casboult, Jones and Weitering in one team? If so it would mean dropping one of Marchy or Plowman who are more athletic and Plow takes the medium sized forwards.

We can't shift any of them forward since we're already so tall up front as well...

Out of all those defenders, Marchy is probably the one who's received the least public praise so i wouldn't be surprised to see him get dropped.

It is very tough.

I thought Marchbank was very strong defensively against the Bulldogs.

I don't envy the selectors this week.

Jones has missed a bit of footy. Give him some managed time in the 2s. Make sure he's fully recovered and get his touch back. Put the pressure on the MC the game after.

 

[stuballs]

Have a feeling we will lose this one, Blues by 35.

 

[Garters]

Just saw this. For the halfway mark. Strong side to pick from. Seasons past this list would have rolled off the bed and down the stairs. Russell or luck defo giving ourselves a good shot at a few wins over next month or so. Starting with Sunday if the get out of the blocks Q1..If!

Happy with that.

I really don't see it as that hard of a decision. Logic says that he should come back through the two's.

You make some strange assessments. Your assessment of Jones is one of them.

I see. Whats strange about it? I don't think its unreasonable to suggest a guy that hasn't played since May 7 should come back through the twos.

If Walters doesn’t beat the suspension then that’s a huge boost for us. He is one of the most damaging players in the comp

Not sure how he would beat it....it ticks all the boxes for a 1 match penalty...low impact, high etc.
The umpire who laid the report and gave evidence was right at the point of contact, the video was fuzzy.
I'm trying to work out what his defence would be, other than getting it reduced to a fine.

That part is reasonable.

I may remember reading that you prefer Casboult over Jones for our defence? That part I found puzzling. Jones is far more versatile defensively.

Perhaps I misunderstood or am remembering incorrectly, haven't been super engaged here recently.

 

[zepender]

If Walters' suspension doesn't hold up, have to imagine Plowman stays in the team. I'd tip him as getting that matchup based exclusively on the history of Lachie Plowman matchups.

Me either TBH. But yes, you read that correctly. I just like the fit with Casboult better. It just feels better suited to me. I have this feeling of more confidence with Cas than with Jones

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I'll be at the game, fingers crossed the Boys put on a good show for me at least.

The coaches love plowman. Can't see him being dropped in any circumstances.

Freo challenging Walters 1 game suspension.

Hearing is scheduled for 4.30pm today.

this will be very interesting.


Will they overturn a direct report from the umpire?

Yep - Plow always gets the shitful jobs.......

News just in, Fremantle have lodge a name change by deed poll and hope to have it back before 4.30pm, Michael Walters case will be heard as Michael Ablett, challenging 1 game suspension.

[ESKIE]

Matera is another that can cause headaches

 

[I bleed Blue]

I'm hungry for a win

Come on blues

 

[AB_Blue]

Looking forward to this game

Hopefully we can start this game like we finished the last.

Being in the crowd the last 10 minutes was insane against the dogs

If jones does come in ( for Cas), I hope they give Harry ruck time.
