Re: AFL Rd 24 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St. Kilda - LordLucifer - 08-22-2024
I want to know (a) who is on our Match Committee & (b) who appoints them ??
We have the dumbest, non-progressive, far too risky, non-competitive group making decisions about the weekly team selections I've ever seen in all of my years following this club.
They keep selecting half-injured players and total letdowns like Martin & Fantasia.
How the hell can Curnow be ready ?? If they play him and he fully breaks down again then he won't be available for the finals if we make them.
Reward the young guys who played their hearts out last week !!
Dumb dumb dumb.

For the record Fantasia hasn't played since round 17 and has had no part in our poor form of late.

If we go with the named team we will win if they are fit.

There's a subset of posters on here, whose seemingly inexhaustible fondness for kids who have shown little, and subpar VFL players, never ceases to amaze me. This is absolutely the wrong game to be taking risks. Too many kids end up placing pressure on the senior guys. We need experienced players with years in the system to minimize the risks.

Talk around in a few places at the moment that Charlie won't play.
Wait for the confirmation though.

The other side of the coin is the fact that the Binns and Lord kids did quite well last week and Moir showed something in his cameo. However, St Kilda will be a different bucket of prawns to West Coast and the kids will feel genuine AFL pressure for the first time.
You're absolutely right about not taking risks Paul, and we shouldn't include anyone with the slightest doubt over their ability to stay on the park or cope with an opposition who will go a lot harder than West Coast.
Strangely enough, I think that our MC is fully aware of the risks, the probability of injured players getting through the game, and the ability of largely untried kids to compete against a tough opposition. The 23 players who run out on Sunday will be our best possible team in the circumstances. Let's hope that they can get the job done.

I can tell you now, he's not playing.

Yep...seems that way.

Michael Voss confirms Charlie Curnow won’t play this week. Confident he’ll be available for a first final if they make it.

The season at an end.

Looks like McGovern will miss as well.
