Preview Rnd 16 - Carlton v Melbourne Sunday 9th July 3.20PM @ MCG - Final changes post #674

[Cripps17]

^ Yep I reckon part of our expectation that McKay may have got a game by now would have been based on Curnow probably needing to drop back at some stage.

 

[T2B_]

McKays selection or not probably wouldnt affect our scoring much either way.

Another big target would probably just see the ball come out more easily from the forward line.

We don't take the ball in fast enough or often enough to bring another tall into the forwardline.

Bingo. We do at least have a couple really powerful pack crashers. Problem is, nearly everytime the ball is brought to ground, we have bugger all players actually able to swoop on it.

 

[Sector 7G]

Right thing to do for now and when Byrne is ready, White goes out.

McKay stuck in the 2's for now and going to be hard for him to make an impact this week, again.

A little more chance of performing with Graham back in the 2s to deliver it to him. The 2's midfield hasn't been the same since he was elevated.

 

[Azul]

Bingo. We do at least have a couple really powerful pack crashers.

Leading stats getters, marks inside 50: Levi 2.1 per game, Jack 1.3, Kreuzer 1.0

McKay only needs to catch the ball twice a game to be our second most productive. The sooner we get games into the kid the better.

 

[chelseacarlton]

Kerridge offers more than Graham.
He was good last week,Graham was ok.
Can't wait to see Byrne back in the team!!

[Soapy V]

Happy with selections
Macreadie & SPS back is good for development. Most kids getting a run so Bolton balancing development with competitiveness well
Keen to see McKay & Byrne in the side but no issue holding them back for atleast another week.
Hope Marchbank injury isn't serious but rest will do him good. Has had a few knocks over last few weeks.
Keen to see Williamson Pickett Polson McKay and maybe Kerr in before end of year

 

[AB_Blue]

Disappointed for H but happy for Macreadie

 

[Neese]

Polson played the Power game, he is still recovering

 

[Chookaradley]

SPS needs some development time in the 2s. He has been carried through senior football for some time now.

 

[HBF]

SPS needs some development time in the 2s. He has been carried through senior football for some time now.

Which is why i think he should spend some time forward.

 

[Weiterbot23]

Has he actually played a 2nds game yet?

If so how'd he go?

 

[Chookaradley]

Nope. Came straight in Round 1 off no pre season. Has been rested for a couple of times but never played at Northern.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Can see where you're coming from, he seems more an opportunist atm, and just not getting it enough to go through the middle.

 

[Smalls0304]

Which is why i think he should spend some time forward.

He plays nearly all of his football as a forward?

 

[Soapy V]

Which is why i think he should spend some time forward.

I'd like to see him spend time as a running defender. Play on a man and create run. Do him a lot do good

He hasn't got the fitness base yet. He wouldn't even last a quarter.

I rate the kid, he could be anything, really smart player. Having said that he actually isnt that quick and hasnt shown any real propensity to run and carry. A full pre season will do him wonders but I think he can gain a lot from some solid performances in the reserves

 

[Stamos]

Macreadie for Marchbank
Lamb for Graham
SPS for Sumner

Somewhat like for like, hopefully an improvement overall. Hopefully McKay catches something other than a cold in the Northern game.

Think it's more Lamb for Sumner and Samo for Graham

 

[AB_Blue]

We've injected a bit of flair and and replacement CHB

If we can half the clearances were a show

 

[Big Red is back]

INS & OUTS


Go for it.


Got a good feeling about this game.

Blues by 17!

Feeling very positive about this game - we have improved alot since last time and demons have plenty of injuries

 

[Soapy V]

He hasn't got the fitness base yet. He wouldn't even last a quarter.

He'd be fine. If you can small forward you can play on a small forward

 

[The Dominator7]

Mangels was traded to Melbourne as part of the Greg Wells deal in 1981. According to Larrikans and Legends, he was very unhappy about it. His whole family were dedicated Carlton supporters with a long club association, and that was permanently broken.

.......Then he started making those dodgey adventure documentaries...mind you Judy Green looked a cracking travelling companion

 

[Jimmae]

Think it's more Lamb for Sumner and Samo for Graham

Depends if you're looking at it in terms of traditional position play, or how they contribute to our pressure and possession components.

Lamb is an accumulator up the wing at his best, while SPS has been providing a lot of pressure acts. Ultimately they will be swapping positions a fair bit in this one.

 

[branedotorg]

what's this kid rubbish? he's a grown man - seriously........

old enough to have been drafted to vietnam and probably earned more money than some australians will in their whole career.

he's had a s**t run, no doubt but not a child by any standard.
