Preview Rnd 18 - Carlton v Brisbane Sat 19th Sept 7.40PM @ Gabba

[SurreyBlue]

One would assume McGovern or Casboult to play defence. Hope it's not McGovern.....might have to not watch.
O'Brien being omitted after 1 week is poor form. Kennedy the perfect in for Setterfield and really happy to see Polson back.

Martin with 2 calf strains shouldn't play

[HARKER]

What's the directive to Polson & Kennedy though - Play for your careers?

I don't know....All looks a bit of a mish-mash to me. Good luck to the guys though and for O'Brien....find another team before you're on the chopping block.

 

[Stamos]

Sorry to intrude but will McGovern play defence or something? Because Pitto, Gov, Casboult, McKay, De Koning as a ruck + forward set up is insanely tall. Good luck tomorrow night.

We have no ******* idea. Very strange selections.

 

[Iamcarlton]

Why is Pittonet in along with Harry, Cas, McGov, TDK. We are far too tall

It could work if we where a quick side with plenty of outside run to complement the talls but we arent .
This kind of mix for us rarely works seriously strange we continue to sabotage our own chances with these kinds of selections .

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Thought our tanking days were over...

 

[BoundbyKreuze]

May I please acquire what it is you are smoking. Having a dull Friday night currently. Would spice things up.

Watch and see.

To O'Brien, sorry you got dropped on your 21st birthday mate. Hope that hub celebration away from friends, family and teammates playing tomorrow goes well for you.

 

[Stamos]

So I’m assuming everyone’s pissed cause 2 rucks/ gov.

Now to read ahead and find out

2 and a half rucks + Gov

 

[bigm386]

bad changes - farewell game for Kennedy?

Kennedy if given Setterfields role will show exactly why he isn't going anywhere and shouldn't.

But knowing Teague he will probably play forward pocket.

 

[AB_Blue]

Pitto in for the outside run.....nice!

Has nothing to do with the strategy

I don't understand your point then?

I just wish that they sat down with him, showed him what they wanted to fix and give him a chance to go out there and do it!

Gee, first game for the year after a series of botchy development matches, then dropped. A bit average for mine.

Particularly in a team that was hopeless in general.

Probsbly gets minutes on the wing and defence without docherty. Don’t be surprised if mcgovern turns the corner Saturday as our intercept defender. He will be best on ground. Bookmark it.

Duly noted

Same.

Sure, he didnt get a bucketload of possessions, but his disposal was actually good and he kicked a nice goal in the 4th, when many of our players that play weekly struggle to do so.

Forget what the list size will be next year, it's a valid strategy in any year

If a club is looking at 5 acquisitions via trade/draft, but only have 4 senior spots left after delistings, you delist a senior spot and rookie the same player

You add what you want, while still retaining the same core

 

[Benaly28]

What I find interesting is that last year the majority of supporters were calling for Teague to be coach.

Wow what a difference a year makes.

Way to early to judge.

Sadly most of us don’t have this option...

Well, to be fair, about 18 million people do. But on a serious note, it must be so frustrating.

You just know he's going to ping it at some stage during the game.

If he needs someone to have a beer with I'm free for a couple hours

 

[HBF]

Just perplexed by these changes. Makes no sense to me.

 

[KnobHead]

I’m a bit perplexed by the changes also.

But whatever the team is, I hope they give Simmo a winning farewell.

What a champion.

Or warm ups...

 

[mochacinolatte]

jeez going in tall here.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Levi a late out for Cottrell, cunning strategy by Teaguy. I Like Polson back in, reckon he'll offer more than Doc, and Lochie is miles away from last years form.
