Reckon we might need three.....Heppell and Jab will need watching also.....need more size up forward as well....Essendon always have one player usually Hooker when played back who
sits across half back and just racks up intercept marks thanks to our bombed ill directed kicks, drives me insane when we have no talls to contest...

They've switched it up this year.
They go with Patrick Ambrose in defense, and have moved Cale Hooker forward.

He's done OK, but he lacks agility.
E.Curnow is our best by far, but he lacks pace.
I'd almost give SPS a tagging role and see if he can annoy the sh1te out of someone, and in the process sneak a goal or two!
CheatsFC, excluding Jab, are not that big in the midfield. I'd almost surrender possession and dump the hell out of them tackle after tackle. If you are going to get hold of them, really get hold of them Lonergan style, Quid Pro Quo :o
The word I have is that the CheatsFC inner circle are talking up Carlton as the primary cause of their bans. Something to do with The Chemist Tapes!
Hopefully if Levi plays he manages to step in the way of a few of them Vlastuin style!

Wonder if Rowe will play on J Daniher or will Weitering move back to defence?
Re: 2017 Round 3 : Pre Game Thread - Carlton vs Essendon - PaulP - 04-04-2017
Expecting to lose by 7 goals.
Their midfield has some pace, skill and flexibility, and Woosha seems to have the structure working nicely. We've got them whilst they're still in their euphoric return phase. Plus their talls Hurley, Hooker etc. are not too shabby. Plus Cripps and Rowe unlikely.

I think Rowe deserves first crack, he has been solid. Don't want to send a message to them that we are worried and need Weitering back either just from a mindset thing at the start.
In general though I am torn, Weitering with a developing McKay has great potential as a forward duo but as a defender our backline is pretty much ready and set. Perfect world Kerr comes on and Weitering can move back but who knows. Just hope Cripps pulls, it will be a massive loss if we don't have him.

So this was a game I pencilled us in for a possible win, I still stand by that. I dont rate these cheating fecks just yet and I have not seen anything diabolical from our mob to suggest we are no chance. I would love nothing more than to burst their bubble.

Never feel confident vs Essendon and given their B team beat us last season I dont feel we have much chance with Cripps likely missing and perhaps Rowe as well...
Their mids are on fire and I dont think we have the depth to cover them....
Love to see us win but cant see it....

It would need a massive turn around from last game's performance. I can't see it happening ATM.
