Preview RND 21 - Carlton v GC Suns Sat 7th August 1.45PM @ Etihad - Team - Post #366

Maybe, but he's doing it anyway.

I think he would be better placed focusing on the next generation of players.

 

[RPCB]

No doubt Murph will be the sub and get a full game next week or the last round. Betts will play the rest of the year to get to 350.

Crazy to think we could have a 350th and 300th milestone in the same game.

This is (on paper) arguably the strongest and best balanced team we have put on the park all year. To my mind the right balance of youth and experience and I don't really see who if the injured players would be in the 22 if fit (Williams is one, then maybe Docherty for Newman, ut even that is debatable on 2021 form)

Of course half a dozen blokes have injury concerns, but it leads me to believe they think they are still in it this year. This week as a confidence booster then next week as a red hot crack at Port...

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Casboult in the emergencies is somewhat scary. Otherwise happy enough!

Who do you think is gonna play if TDK doesn't get up, even though his knees are cooked and he's had no game time coming back from injury.

 

[Arr0w]

More likely to be Gov who they threw into ruck in 2’s for that very reason

Possibly, but I suspect more as a chopout for TDK, and to assist JSOS.

Find it interesting he is named as an emergency without playing a game

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

I suppose he's only had 1 vfl game and a history of soft tissue injuries?

Plus in terms of side balance maybe Jsos and Martin are ahead for the medium forward position.

Yet Casboults the backup for TDK, off no games. Makes sense.

If they hold Murph over until the last round, yeah. Will they do that or get it over and done with just in case he slips on a banana peel or something?

You are right, I would expect Murphy to be in the 22 vs Port.

Carlton the club that keeps giving!

 

[Jeremias]

Betts for Owies the clear and obvious choice - good change.

Matt has made good progress this season but has been quiet for a month or so and needs a rest.

TDK named but surely won't play. Some talk about Gov replacing him but I'd be going with Levi instead if he's fit, which it looks as though he might be given he too has been named as an emergency.

If they hold Murph over until the last round, yeah. Will they do that or get it over and done with just in case he slips on a banana peel or something?

My guess is they'll wait and hope that we're allowed a small crowd come round 23.

 

[Funk]

JSOS with 7 coaches votes last week sure to be our starting ruck...............

 

[Jimmyonesix]

Even if we do win that, our last game against GWS will be like an elimination final

I can't see richmond dropping one of there last three

 

[CJMB]

at least if Levi comes in to ruck he shouldn’t be crashing the pack from the side and taking out Harry/Charlie…

Why not, they're missing a number of important structural players and have been very poor in plenty of games this season.

 

[Arr0w]

They have won 1 of their last 5

Should beat North, GWS reasonable and Hawks in some form

But, Dockers are the side that would probably drop out

 

[Jimmyonesix]

They were close enough last week to suggest there still going well enough to finish who they play in the run home -- GWS more injuries this week ..

 

[FRUMPY]

Betts for owies is ok. Owies looks like he needs a rest.

Be interesting to see how Charlie goes. Look rusty as expected and should be better for the run. But I'm sure it was mentally draining week last week so see how he goes in that regard as well.

Lost to Freo in a low scoring snoozefest, pumped by Geelong, lost to the very poor Pies and the struggling Suns, got slaughtered by St Kilda after kicking two goals for the entire match.

Their best games since the middle of the season have been a solid win over Brisbane, and their bye.

Ironically, Charlie is the freshest and fittest.

 

[dirk pitt]

Team deserved minimal changes after that effort. Owies was the most vulnerable.

Honey and Betts in the forward line…

Well make sure Betts teaches him to banana properly while he's there cause we're all going to miss that when it's gone

 

[Zuribagger]

Honey and LOB were great last week. Hoping they get amongst it again this week.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Kangaroos are a fair chance this week. Get a couple of good ones back and ran the cats close last week. In fact if you were going on form as opposed to reputation then the kangaroos would be favorites

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

North will beat Richmond.

 

[Zuribagger]

I’d add Cuners to the 2022 best 22: fast, can kick, strong, tackles…
Not sure who’s place he’d take from the current side, perhaps one of the retirees.
