Preview Rnd 21 - Carlton v Richmond - Sunday 11th August 3:20PM @ MCG - Final Team - Post #399

[james Dean]

It would be a massive upset if we did get up. Richmond playing at another level to most teams at the moment.

They’re playing well but WCE are by far the best team at the moment.

We are a sneaky chance this week

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Saw McGovern today. He has lost a lot of weight. My guess 5kg

Glad he’s getting it together.

 

[skadoosh]

Cuningham, Jones, McGovern, Daisy in

 

[Benaly28]

Richmond a class above however if it bleeds you can kill it.

 

[windows1]

Teague on radio before the game today said McGovern has done alot of work behind the scenes at training and is most likely to come in this week

VFL

Won’t play AFL

 

[windows1]

Don’t think we can beat them. Not without Chuckie C and MCG.

 

[F_therest]

They are back playing good footy, but wouldn't say they are playing to their 2017 form. Given the personnel we could call up, this game will be closer than people think

Certainly have a chance the way we are playing and if we get some big inclusions.

Would still be quite an upset though...west coast, tigers and Brisbane the three form teams of the comp right now.

Biggest worry would be their forward line, much like eagles game. Lynch and riewoldt two gun talls surrounded by lots of dangerous small forwards...we really need Jones and Daisy back. Eagles got too many easy goals today.

Good to see the blues supporters up and about, Hopefully we get a 85,000-90,000 crown withe weather permitting

If it rains 65,000-70,000


Dry - Tigers 29 points
Wet - Tiger by 49 points

 

[GapInIkonPark]

Think Schumacher stays in.

Swap Kreuzer for Phillips, Jones for Goddard, McGovern for DeLuca and Dow for Lang.

Can see Casboult playing back if Jones doesn’t play.

Wish Cuningham was ready but by all reports is not.

Dale Robert Jordan 'Daisy' Thomas?

 

[Team DJ]

4 changes for me. Not because of anything other than better players should be available.

Phillips - Kreuzer
Goddard - Jones
Schumacher - Thomas
Lang - Fasolo (give him 2-3 games like we've done Lang to see if he has anything left)

 

[athensblue]

Teague hasn't lost 2 in a row

Blues by 5 pts

Thats good to hear. Would love to see Gov back in the side.

 

[HBF]

I give us little to no chance against Richmond. But I would like to see us be competitive, just like we were yesterday

Our inclusions or lack thereof will play a significant role

Totally agree...
Watched your mob against WCE lots of good signs...just seem to be off a tad gelling as a cohesive unit still...you looked good once in front but when WCE came back at you your side just lacked that belief/hardness you were good enough to match them! Cripps and Walsh battled hard to keep you in the contest!
Your footy structures are still weak! Still a bloody good effort all the same!
With more players to come in to your side it's going to make it even tougher for us! If this game was played at Sheetehad i'd be even more worried!
Tigers are still not settled as a side yet and we are still working on/out our best combination of players for the Finals...you are a chance!

 

[jimsta10]

Pending injury report.

In: Kreuzer, Jones, Thomas, McGovern
Out: Phillips, Goddard, Schumacher, Lang

Game on if these changes eventuate.

Cuningham also a consideration, but his VFL form today didn't warrant selection and he wasn't his usual light footed elusive self. Kennedy was really ineffective, so they might favour Cuningham's mobility for this one.

Cuningham's game against Richmond earlier in the year was stellar, that is also worth considering.

I like this a lot

Phillips - Kreuzer
Goddard - Jones

Lang - Fasolo (give him 2-3 games like we've done Lang to see if he has anything left)

I don’t think fasolo is any good at all however always does well against us.

 

[HARKER]

It doesn't really work this way and it's somewhat subjective, but let's apportion rating to ins and outs -

Kreuzer - 8 vs Phillips - 5
Jones - 8 vs Goddard - 3
Thomas - 7 vs Schumacher - 2
Cuningham - 6 vs Lang - 3
McGovern - 6 vs Deluca - 3

No problem at all making those changes should all ins be fit.

 

[Iamcarlton]

cant wait for gov to comeback

Yep will be interested to see the new and improved Gov hopefully we get something out of him for the remainder of the season .

Does the McGovern for Deluca make us a little top heavy?

 

[chunkylover53]

Don’t think we will win but we will test the absolute s**t out of this mob.

They’ll bring their A-game and win by a point and it’ll be remembered as a catalyst to their 2019 flag assault. Kinda like our Rd 22 game vs WCE in 1995.

 

[RAPPA]

Does the McGovern for Deluca make us a little top heavy?

Let’s us have a key forward target in the 50 with Cas, if H plays up the ground like he did yesterday.

 

[jimsta10]

My beer gut tells me that Gov will play...
