Injuries are growing again so great to keep banking the points.

Zac had his legs taken out after he kicked to Charlie for a goal. He was iced after the game but thought he was OK. That wasn’t the case when he’d cooled down.

Great that we've banked wins so far.
2 more added to the sick bay. Can't take a trick ?

IMO Cincotta deserves selection ahead of Binns

One change, Sam Walsh in for Lachie Fogarty.
Sad for Fog, but I’m not complaining!

This week's line-up:
Backs: Brodie Kemp Jacob Weitering Nic Newman
Half-backs: Adam Saad Mitch McGovern Adam Saad
Centreline: Ollie Hollands Patrick Cripps Blake Acres
Half-forwards: Elijah Hollands Harry McKay Matthew Kennedy
Forwards: Orazio Fantasia Charlie Curnow Matthew Owies
Followers: Tom De Koning Adam Cerra George Hewett
Interchange: Jordan Boyd Jack Carroll Matthew Cottrell Corey Durdin Sam Walsh
Emergencies: Jaxon Binns Lachlan Cowan Marc Pittonet
I would have played Pittonet: he has a good record against O'Brien; TdK doesn't.
Ollie Hollands is pretty lucky. He hasn't been playing that well, even though he has contributed. Last week Sharpe killed him.
Fantasia is also more than a little lucky. He did OK as sub, but otherwise hasn't done much. Corey Durdin as well, but he had 8 tackles last week.
Walsh on the bench: is hat trying to tell us that he'll be a late out?
No Cincotta as sub? Amazing! He was much better than both Binns and Cowan against North.

If only we had 2 Adam Saad’s…

So is the listed 'Adam Saad V.2' actually Zac Williams?
Re: AFL Rd 5 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Adelaide - DJC - 04-12-2024
If anyone is lucky to keep their spot, it’s Elijah Hollands rather than Ollie. He seemed well off the pace before his injury but he still would have been stiff to be dropped.
The VFL team having a bye didn’t help our fringe players to press their claims and it would be their work at training that would catch the MC’s eyes. Perhaps Binns, Cowan and Pitto were the standouts.
There are a couple of problems with bringing Pitto back. De Koning is playing his best footy and, at worst, is breaking even with opposition rucks. Dropping his time in the ruck from >80% to <50% will reduce his effectiveness, both in the ruck and around the ground. Pitto might do well in the ruck but he doesn’t contribute much around the ground. The other issue is the structural change playing two rucks would require, particularly in the context of Pitto’s inability to have an impact in the forward line and take marks around the ground.
We haven’t named our best 23, but it must be close to 23 out of our best 28.

Corey Durdin did have a few tackles, but many barely impacted the opponents disposal.
That was Fantasia's best game so far, but still probably not a pass.
I wouldn't be surprised of a late change, but if Walsh is named I suspect he plays, perhaps another out though as I think a couple of others are lucky to retain spots.
Carroll might be a Monty for Sub, I'd start Walsh warm and want Carroll as the Sub just in case Walsh gets sore.
Last week despite bringing heaps of effort I thought Kennedy looked a bit out of place when he wasn't on the ball, maybe a bit of a reshuffle to come in the centre. I've noticed Kennedy, Hewett and Cerra seem to be waxing and waning a bit this season, Cerra can get away with it a bit because he has moments of silk, but I'm use to Kennedy and Hewett being 24x7 types.
We are looking more versatile this season, but I can't say we've clicked yet. I've mentioned it before, Voss / MC need to find a way to create a confidence boosting win, instead I feel we have a bit of a house of cards at the moment and we've been lucky so far. But I concede that can be good coaching, you can make your own luck.
Fogarty is a big loss.
