Re: AFL Rd 13 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Essendon - ElwoodBlues1 - 06-07-2022
I think Draper will be a problem player given he is that old fashioned type ruckman who wants body contact and likes to collect opposition players Neil Balme style, a real neanderthal in terms of modern football.
Shiel is rubbish and Luke Parker only indicated what everyone knows and thats if its a hard contested game you wont see much of Dylan on the inside putting his head over the ball.
Stringer will kick goals because we dont have anyone who ticks every box to play on him, Plowman can go with him overhead but Stringer has a decent ground game and is one of those inbetween players we often struggle to contain.
I reckon Sam Durdin has to play but I'd have him on the resting ruckman and start with Young on Wright and then make the move if Wright starts kicking goals.
If we can contain Parish and Merrett then I dont see Essendon bothering us too much and we want the game as contested as we can make it and not allowing Essendon to run free on the outside.
Charlie should have a picnic vs their rubbish defense, main concern for me is no more injuries and thats why I'd be wary of Draper who has that awkward look where he often disguises thug behavior with unco play.

Stringer (if he plays) will be the one Im concerned about. Seems to grow a leg against us.

Shiel should be arrested for fraud. Utter trash player. I'd also love a BOG from Saad ...

Shiel is an outside ball carrier but Dodo wanted a big recruiting win to show how good he was at his job and especially with us in the hunt too he thought he had a double win by beating us to Shiel. Dont know any Essendon supporter who was happy with that trade and the ongoing cost and salary cap chunk that Shiel created.They tried to beg Bevo for the contracted Dunkley to try and bandaid the problem but the Dogs held firm and its been fun watching such a large list management fail.

The Bombers rucks will give us a headache, and Durdin for me is a walk in start, because even if he doesnt set the house on fire, I dont want to tempt the Footy gods by talking about other players going down, but one key tall at each end with one ruckman means he becomes an automatic in.
We have....
Charlie - forward
TDK - ruck
Young - back
and Jack as backup to all 3.
....and people are suggesting we don't quite need Durdin in the side? FMD. What happens if Young or TDK goes down??
Durdin plays.
I'd be playing Marchbank and Plowman as well.
That way we can have a traditional backline setup of 2 KPPs, a 3rd tall and a 'tall marking small' -Plowman.
Then we can use Jack as KP/ruck swapping with TDK both helping out Charlie.
To go in without Durdin is suicide.

Durdin needs to come in because 6 days later we might have to face Lynch and Reiwoldt.

I would be happy with Sheil on a wing in our side.

If he took a pay cut, so would I.
