AFL Rd 0R 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Brisbane v Carlton - Gointocarlton - 02-28-2024
Lets get things started shall we.
A few questions to ask:
1.. Will Walshy get up?
2. Will Motlop miss?
3. Do Williams and Kennedy come in?
4. Do we play TDK and Pitto or TDK and H?
5. Does/Can Marchy come in or is he hurt also?
A lacklustre performance tonight to say the least, but I'm reliably told its a praccy match and so just ignore it.
From what I saw of Young tonight, Durdin plays if he is fit.
Despite H hurting my eyes in the ruck, Pitto made him look like Big Nic.
I think Williams and Kennedy need to come in for sure.
Cant see us beating the Lions up there, but Ill wipe tonight from my memory and say you never know.

Pressure and intensity was a feature of our second half of last year.
It's been non-existent in these practice games.
That will make a huge difference.
But the other issue at the moment, and one not so easy to overcome, is our structure.
With key players missing on all lines we'll have a task in front of us.
It has a flow on effect on players whose jobs would be a little easier with a full strength side.

Harry, Saad, Hewett had great pre season games and expect that form to continue.
Deadwood need to be weeded out ASAP and make room for new blood. We cant fall in the same traps of the past of keeping mediocre players on the list in place of yougsters with upside.
Wilson, Binns and Moir need to play plenty of games this season.

Re: AFL Rd 0R 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Brisbane v Carlton - Gointocarlton - 02-28-2024
I'd go with:
FB Saad D Durdin Newman
HB Williams McGovern Docherty
C Hollands Cripps Acres
R De Koning Cerra Hewett
HF Cottrell Curnow Cunningham
FF Motlop McKay Fogarty
INT
Kemp Wilson Kennedy Boyd Fantasia (sub)
EMERG Cincotta Binns Marchbank
Wilson showed a snippet of why we picked him. If not him, Binns .

I assumed Williams is no where near selection as he only played 60% of a VFL practice match.

A few questions to ask:
1.. Will Walshy get up?
Possibly. I believe that his back injury will be ever present and has to be managed by lighter training loads than normal. It could be a line ball but I suspect we'll be conservative.
2. Will Motlop miss?
It was reported at the time that he was taken out of the game as a precaution. As Vossy often says, it will depend on the results of the scans. I'm tipping that he'll play.
3. Do Williams and Kennedy come in?
Probably not on the back of limited pre-season minutes. Kennedy looked good though.
4. Do we play TDK and Pitto or TDK and H?
I can't see how we could play Pitto on Wednesday's form. Short of a gallop and didn't really get near it. The King and Harry for me.
5. Does/Can Marchy come in or is he hurt also?
Marchy is recovering from a virus (long COVID?) and is a couple of weeks away.
A lacklustre performance tonight to say the least, but I'm reliably told its a praccy match and so just ignore it.
From what I saw of Young tonight, Durdin plays if he is fit.
Tall Durds has played in one VFL practice match and I don't think they'll take a chance with him. I thought Young and Kemp did OK.
Despite H hurting my eyes in the ruck, Pitto made him look like Big Nic.
Harry must have spent a lot of the summer working with Matty K and he provides so much more around the ground than Pitto.
I think Williams and Kennedy need to come in for sure.
Kennedy possibly but I doubt whether Zac is ready.
Cant see us beating the Lions up there, but Ill wipe tonight from my memory and say you never know.
Lij Hollands is an out and Kennedy is a possible replacement, depending on his match fitness. I'd prefer to see Binns get a run. He was lively when he came on. I would be tempted to play Moir in the Jack Martin role.
It's going to be a tough ask without Weiters, Walsh and Martin and with Brisbane close to full strength. The temperature and humidity won't help either but we've had similar conditions for training and our practice matches.

I would be tempted to play Moir in the Jack Martin role.I wish I could lip read because after the game, the two coaches came together on the boundary line and were talking and I dont know why but I had a feeling that Goody asked Vossy if Walshy will play round OR and Vossy looked to me like he as was saying "yeh probably" or something like that. I recorded the game so I might have another look at that bit and see if I can make it out.
