Re: Pre Game Preparations: AFL 2021 R3 Carlton vs Fremantle at Marvel - WASurfer - 03-31-2021
6 months ago I would've put my house on Cripps staying at Carlton for the entirety of his career.....now, I'm not so sure. And who could begrudge him really? He's busted his @rse and carried the club for years without too much meaningful support....he's starved of success. If he decides to go, then hopefully it's similar to us and the Eagles when Judd chose Carlton....agreement was reached in a way and the Eagles respected his decision, but still drove a hard bargain.
And the situation with his partner only complicates it and he's totally within his rights to do what's best for him and her....some of that online stuff is just despicable.
That all said, Cripps will be giving it his all this week and every week for the club....you wouldn't expect anything less. It's about time a few others put their bodies on the line as well.
IN: McDonald, Betts, Kennedy, Stocker
OUT: Casboult, Martin, Fisher, Setterfield
Plowman probably survives because of the smaller Freo forward line. And Murphy probably only survives because of Martin going out.
If Silvagni is fit, then bring him in as well and probably drop Newnes....Silvagni can play off a wing and push into the middle and the forward line.

Weitering says we'll see a response against Freo.

I'd also drop Plow, he was totally terrible last week (and the week before really). The MC must make statements no matter if you are the captain or a rookie. We NEED to find the right mix who will perform for 4 qtrs every week. No more 15 minute cameos.

We as a club need to start getting real with the non performing players. Start with the senior higher profile non-performers and put them on notice that their efforts have not been acceptable and if they don't meet standards on a consistent basis their careers with us will be at stake. This would definitely send a meaningful message from top down in the playing group in the short term.
This of course is only a tactical short term measure and not a substitute for getting the club sorted out properly and strategically.

Agree .. Mr Plow out.

Champion data says after 2 rounds we are the worst pressure side in the comp. Also two of our better pressure players are Fisher and Martin lol.

Our lack of pressure on the Pies was painful to watch. They were just going forward unopposed for long periods of the game.

That video I linked earlier shows that per 100 turnovers, we have conceded more points than all other teams. If you can't defend turnover, you're stuffed. Teague will need to get the balance right, because we can certainly kick a score. If we can sort out the defense off turnover allowing for easy goals, I don't think we're far off.
Re: Pre Game Preparations: AFL 2021 R3 Carlton vs Fremantle at Marvel - WASurfer - 03-31-2021
GTC....Plowman was awful last week no doubt. But he wasn't helped by the total lack of pressure further up the field. Got sick of watching us turn it over up the field and then see it come back with easy kicks to a bloke on the lead or on his own. Freo have small forwards in Schultz and Switkowski are are relative no-names but are very dangerous....and that'll be even worse if Walters plays...they have enough midfield options even without Fyfe to be able to leave Walters forward. Realistically, who do we have to man those guys up? Saad probably gets one but he's better as a running half back. Williamson has been terrible.....SPS is simply not a half back and we're kidding ourselves trying to turn him into one. He'll just try to get separation and not shut a bloke down. We need Newman back ASAP and reckon Stocker deserves a crack at it. As little as he's done for us since we trade him in, Marchbank needs to get fit and get out there and stay injury free...he can be that 3rd tall option and can play on the smaller blokes as well.

Daniel Hoyne and David King were both pretty clear on this. No defence can do much when the ball comes in so effortlessly. I don't think they blame Plowman, and they're right, and I think the coaches will see it that way as well.
