Re: Pre game postulations: AFL 2021 Rd 5: Carlton vs Port Adelaide at the MCG - Lods - 04-11-2021
From that list though Kruds
Silvagni
Gibbons
Plowman
would be the ones to go out of last night's side.
McGovern takes Silvagni's spot
Kennedy takes the Gibbons spot
and maybe Stocker for the Plowman job.
and there is a chance Williams may play...
I'm not sure we lose a lot....but that requires McGovern and Stocker to step up a level.

We will probably lose Silvagni to injury.
We might lose Gibbons from concussion.
Marchbank got injured in the 2's.
Someone suggested Oscar McDonald got injured as well.
We already have Charlie, TDK, Newman, Martin, Fisher, Kemp unavailable.
Williams may or may not be available next week.
I'm sure i've forgotten a couple too.
but that is 12 players.
From what we've got left i'm not sure we are capable of winning.
Pretty sure Gibbo was cleared of concussion.

Don't get too excited by McGovern... Reports I have from the match were critical of his lack of running and effort. The three goals give a false reading on his form. Crocker was the success on our forward line.

I'm not sold on McGovern especially vs Port who thrive on lazy forwards but we lack soldiers as Krud suggested so he will probably play. Might be a chance for him to show something and convince a few non believers.
Port are banged up with injuries too and will miss Butters and Duursma.....Butters is a jet who would have been real problems so glad to see him out. If it was played in SA I would have said no chance but at home I think we can give them a run for their money even though the wins vs Freo and GC were very workman like.
Our brand of play is still very second rate compared to many teams and these last two games were ordinary to watch.

I agree Elwood. We sit 2-2 so we achieved what we needed to, but there's nothing really convincing about it. You can only beat what is in front of you, but the last 2 weeks the opposition has been ordinary.
A very bittersweet weekend IMO. Nice to be 50/50 with W/L, but injuries to Slivagni and Marchbank, the VFLW girls lost, and next week Port.

Looked at the Hawks team and its not exactly a big name outfit.....

Yep, I'll put my hand up. Haven't heard of anyone other than Silvagni not being available for next week, but even if Gibbons and Plowman join the injury list, I'd be more than happy to drop the non-contributors. They are just not giving us anything.
Rather try someone who is willing to have a go.

That's a good point EB, and another thing that got me a little down. The VFL proper hasn't yet started, but if you want sustained success, the 2nd's team needs to be about the mark. Apart from the fact that we lost by 7 goals, 144-101 sounds like end to end bruise free footy. I really hope we can be very competitive in the 2nds.

I'm hoping a big home crowd will make a difference.
