Preview Rnd 8 - Carlton v Western Bulldogs Sunday 9th May 3:20PM @ Marvel

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Plowman? Geez.

Gibbo was gone at half time but had a very solid second half after being moved up the ground. Much better around the contest.

I think this is the point with Gibbo, is he is not a small forward. If DT want him to play this role then We should drop him and bring in Durdin.. If we want him as a midfield rotation then fine, but forget about him as a small forward.

 

[Wickzki]

Gov injured? *face palm emoji*

Re-did his hamstring going for a tackle late in the game. Team first attitude. Disappointing injury.

 

[jelly]

We’ve got this

 

[RAPPA]

Dow should be fine. The docs just need to take instructions from Rocky

Agree was disappointing, Gov was starting to come good and was certainly offering up more than Levi.

 

[Benaly28]

They’ll get English back which may force us to play TDK as Mitch will miss.We need to stretch their backline which is where they struggle.

I just see Newman and Plowman fighting for the same spot and Parks in there gives us that 3rd tall anyway.

I'd certainly like to get Newman's attitude and foot skills into the side somehow. Competition for spots is going to be on in earnest soon.

A good problem to have. At this stage I think Plowman and Stocker (on limited viewing) seem to be our best 2 small/medium defenders. Parks is doing a great job as the intercepting defender, though worried about his disposal going forward.

Saad, Doc, Newman and Williams our rebounding half backs. Wouldn't mind Doc getting pushed up to a wing and Newman taking his spot down back.

 

[RAPPA]

Huge MC decision. I’d like to see them have Murphy come back via the 2s as a statement.

 

[Rustica]

TDK will have to be a strong consideration.

Dogs get back English and they already have a top ruckman in Martin. Those 2 will bully Pittonet and Casboult. Need the athleticism that TDK provides around the ground.

In - TDK, Williams, JSOS
Out - Casboult, Dow and McGovern

SPS also best 22 but not sure who would be the medical sub. I’d drop Newnes to med sub.

FB - Parks Weiterbot Plowman
HB - Saad Jones Docherty
C - Cottrell Cripps SPS
HF - Gibbons Silvagni Fogarty
FF - Owies McKay Betts
RR - TDK Walsh Williams

Int - Stocker, Cunningham, Pittonet, Curnow and Newnes

 

[james Dean]

Out: Gov, Dow and Gibbons

In:JSOS, SPS and Williams

one more week for TDK in the 2s and then he can replace Casboult.

If Betts pulls up sore then bring in Murphy. Otherwise Murphy can be the sub

 

[Blue Ratts]

In: Petrevski-Seton, DeKoning, Williams

Out: Dow (inj), McGovern (inj),Gibbons (omit)

Don't think they'll drop Casboult with McGovern getting hurt. He really doesn't deserve to retain his spot but it is what it is.

Cas actually moved and presented a lot better this week. he is carrying. Gov out, Jsos in if ready, if not a hesitant TDK as a forward

 

[El Topo]

LOB and TDK aren't ready, Honey is close. We're not a serious club if Murph is still an automatic inclusion. Hopefully JSOS and Z.Williams are ready to go.

We'll need to be much better at the stoppages to win this - time for the coaches to earn their money.

 

[The Bighouse]

Out: Gov, Dow and Gibbons

In:JSOS, SPS and Williams

one more week for TDK in the 2s and then he can replace Casboult.

If Betts pulls up sore then bring in Murphy. Otherwise Murphy can be the sub

If Betts pulls up sore then Honey or Durdin have to usurp Murphy as a deep forward replacement.

 

[found object]

What happened to Dow? Is he definitely out for this game?

Besides the injury (no idea how bad), I heard delayed concussion on radio, so would be out based on that if that’s the case. Don’t know if that’s been confirmed?

 

[Stamos]

What happened to Dow? Is he definitely out for this game?

Just from Teague's press conference, reckon he'll be right. Just couldn't see due to the swelling.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Williams for Dow
SOS for McGov

SPS/Cotters/Gibbons as the sub.

Don’t think we should rush TDK back just yet. Need to look at the bigger picture.

 

[Stamos]

Jack for Gov, Samo for Gibbons, Williams for Newnes.

Then if TDK is right to go, he comes in for Levi. Murphy can be sub.

 

[Jeremias]

I think this is the point with Gibbo, is he is not a small forward. If DT want him to play this role then We should drop him and bring in Durdin.. If we want him as a midfield rotation then fine, but forget about him as a small forward.

The same Durdin who has had 20 odd touches in his first three outings at VFL level?

 

[BIuebagger]

LOB, Williams, SPS and JSOS.
For Gov, Dow, Newnes and Gibbons. Gibbons and Newnes have been down for a few weeks now and i think LOB needs to get opportunity over Newnes with some of the performances he’s produced. Gov and Dow injured. Keeping Gibbons in another week probably then means I’d say LOB stays in the twos.

Give TDK another week in the twos for match fitness, unless deemed right. Big game. Midfield is where they win the game, they are a midfield team/dependant on that part of the ground. SPS torched them a few seasons ago. Would love to see it again.

 

[Mondyboy]

I’d love to see Newman get a run but it would be a terrible message if they dropped Stocker. (And they ain’t dropping Plow).

I’d love to see TDK and JSOS in for Gov (injured) and Levi. English v TDK would be great to watch. But it’s very unlikely (and we don’t know what’s up with JSOS).

And if you’re going to bring Murph in he’s replacing either Betts (who doesn’t deserve to be dropped) or Gibbo who was not very good today or last week. Murph cannot come in for Owies.

Even if Dow is 100%, Williams take his place.

SPS also deserves to be in the team. Either for Newnes or Cotts.

So, if I had my druthers.

Out: Gov, Levi, Dow, Cotts

In: JSOS, TDK, Williams, SPS.

Not gonna happen though. Teague isn’t making four changes after a win.

OB Pittonet - Cuningham - Walsh

HF Fogarty - Casboult - Silvagni

[Markyd]

With McGovern out, I would bring Setterfield in and push Cripps forward. Also Williams comes in for either Newnes or Gibbons who pick up sub vest.

 

[koutaaa]

Out: cas, newnes, Dow, gov
In: Williams, tdk, setters, jsos

 

[Markyd]

Bulldogs midfield are elite, backline is shaky though. Lynch torched them Friday night could have been far worse if he kicked straight.
Harry will be a handful add Cripps and Casboult, it stretches them, also think Weitering has the wood on Norton.
