Re: Pre game postulations: AFL 2020 Rd 12: Carlton vs Fremantle - Blue Moon - 08-15-2020
Looks like we have given up on finals. Blooding youth, looking at the list. Petrovski-Seton, Kennedy, De Konning, Walsh, Weitering, Fisher, Cottrell, Williamson, Setterfield, Honey, McKay and Gibbons have all come into the AFL system via the draft after 2015. Really need the senior players to stand up today. Give leadership and make everything a contest. Must win these games otherwise it is just another wasted season of re-building.

I'd rather give the senior players a day off than have them pummel themselves for a nothing game in a nothing season!
I suppose from an MC perspective it depends on what the end of season list management situation looks like, if the oldies are going on, staying or leaving!

Cottrell on Walters, anyone think this might be an option?
Nothing better than to have a young aerobic kid force a fragile oldie (one who may well be returning too soon) into a soft tissue injury from trying to shake off a kid he can't shake of like he did in the old days.
Not that I'm a bastard or anything like that!
Cottrell is quite brave, and agile, Walters won't easily lose him in traffic and Walters' team-mates won't intimidate Cottrell. But of course you'd expect Walters to have an edge if he gets goal side of Cottrell one out, but that is probably true of many!
Walters is probably quicker, but he'll have to run hard all the time to get separation on Cottrell, and that'll take some of the sting out of Walters legs!

I would give him at least some time on him. Good for his development! ?

You know there is the 'preview' option right?
The amount of times you get 'caught out' re-writing your posts, i suggest you start using it.

Often I'm correcting formatting that seems to frequently go awry when a message gets posted, it is a problem on the site that doesn't show on the Preview.
If on the other hand you're paranoid about people altering correcting, revising or clarifying posts after you post your comments you can always use https://archive.org/web/ to capture a snapshot of the relevant URL, for all eternity!

Reserves must have done reasonably well against Freo, I see we had 14 goals from 6 players.

There is experience to be had for sure but if we want to win the game its a high risk strategy.

They couldn’t have kept him out for one more week ??♂️
Why do we always seem to be the team that opposition teams make sure their ‘injured’ players return in.
craps me.
My sentiments exactly. Not sure who will match up on him.
We're missing SOJ, who I thought was outstanding v Fyfe last year. If Ed runs with him, what of their other good mids?
Likely to be wet, not sure who that helps. I'd really like to see us win this. Not at the final siren either - please ?
