Preview Round 11 Carlton vs West Coast @ Optus Stadium Sunday 9th August 3.35pm AEST

Is Lochie still struggling with a soft tissue injury? Because otherwise, I don't understand the decision to play Cottrell.

Lochie doesn't apply nearly the kind of pressure Cottrell does from what I've seen.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Ok, game plan has to be to kick the ball along the ground and hope for the best.

Good for Cottrell and TDK and Fisher.

 

[BigBreakfast]

I mean with every tall other than BSOS and Macreadie not being fit to play, I'm not sure who people were expecting to come in for Moore other than a small.

Righto then. A bit touchy 24 hours out from the bounce.

One player doesnt make a team

No it doesn’t but when you add no SOS, Gove and obviously Charlie... we’re ready down on key forwards.... in saying that Im 100% certain we will win... just got one of those feelings.

 

[Christou2Kouta]

I get the feeling NicNat will jump all over Pittonet if he gets a clear run and jump. I’ll be interested to see how TDK’s leap and long reach stack up against him.

With Curnow, Walsh and Cottrell in the same side we have some elite endurance. Would love to see them get a crack at full length quarters.

Hopefully 3 goals wins it ...

 

[HBF]

Happy with this.

 

[Chookaradley]

Anyone know what's wrong with Harry?

 

[Jimmae]

Cottrell on Ryan? What do we have Williamson and Plowman for?

Righto then. A bit touchy 24 hours out from the bounce.

I was being matter-of-fact, but I suppose that's not always able to be noted in text.

It doesn't, but it is an improvement. Not sure he'll get that much done with the tap though, because it's never been his forte and that's not changed in the VFL on my viewings.

Really happy to have him in as a forward/ruck though.

Knee, he’ll be back next week.

Maybe Cottrell wants it more? Talent only gets you so far - IMO Lochie has shown two tenths of stuff all.

Sam Petrovski seton.

Track Heavy.

Goes well fresh grows an extra leg on wet track should run well.

Landed heavily on his knee at end of last game. Was expected to play but still sore.

Stay positive AG, we are right in this game

 

[LanceRomance]

This is definitely a “we’ll learn from that” kind of game.

Had enough of that type.

And out the one after.

His mother was a mudder.

His mudda was a mudda?

That’s what I said.

Yep, like the ins....dunno squat about Cottrell, hope he does well.

Just quietly, when was the last time we knocked off West Coast??

 

[rp84]

Time for cripps to go into beast mode? Not sure he can right now.

Dropping all that weight has destroyed his inside game and not helped his outside game in the slightest. Categorically a disastrous call by our fitness/coaching staff.

Look forward to him being 100kegs and winning the league contested possessions by a 1000 again next year.

Beat them twice in a row in 2013/2014

 

[ESKIE]

Looks like there’s a change of plan, happy to see Fisher back in, TDK tick and good luck to Cottrell

[jimsta10]

Wonder what role Cottrell will play..apparently he’s got a big tank..could be very useful in the wet.

Exciting to see Fish back! Speed and composure is key.

TDK..will do amazing things..

 

[Red Bull]

Our point of difference.
Curnow McKay McGovern.
All sitting in the grandstand.
Ain’t no point of difference ...

Good to see Fisher and the King return along with a Blue debut, good luck to the lad.
