GWS are a rabble and Cameron will be lucky to last the season..
Laughed like a fat spider when I heard Cameron threaten plenty of changes to playing personnel for their next outing. The only change GWS needs, Cameron, is you out of the place. Been saying it for years... not a senior coach's dot. Good assistant? Maybe. Senior coach?

Casboult has been ordinary the first two weeks so McDonald deserves a shot...his second half against Richmond was not too bad.
Can Plowman survive the cull this week? He was absolutely putrid against Collingwood.
One of Setterfield or Newnes probably goes out and I'd be getting Stocker in this week. Freo's smalls aren't big names but were very good yesterday and we really don't have any of those small defender types who can lock down on an opponent.....Schultz will take Plowman to the cleaners.
With Fisher, Fogarty and Gibbons, I can't see how Betts comes in yet. And on that Fogarty has shown so far that he's going to be a very good player for us.

Are we really expecting Charlie to play again? I'm not.

Dodge...IMO any games we get will just be a bonus....another reason why we really need Harry to come on in a big way this season. McGovern will be on the trade table at season's end unless he improves dramatically...and even then he won't be worth much....even more frustrating when you see the form of Shane McAdam for Adelaide.

Unless something changes, like we play 4q, we won't beat Freo. It's early days I know, but I've seen little to suggest we're taking that next step as a team. Several individuals have impressed but that will never get you over the line.
Freo had 2nd and 3rd teir players step up supported by the likes of ever reliable Mundy and Fyfe (pre inj). Their CP numbers were impressive. An area we've fallen away in for long periods. Resulting in coughing up a run of goals and ultimately the game. We haven't shown the tenacity to fight back like previously, which looks like a fitness issue.
I know it might only need a few small changes, and we've had PS injuries. However, IMO we haven't been able to cover or adapt adequately, despite the coming of age of our rebuild.
Dockers by 9 (please prove me wrong ?)

Hope Krueger the other player from those State league picks from Geelong doesn't amount to much...

Seriously, the whole defence was poor but no point shooting Plow and co unless you put the firing squad on the midfield first.
That's where the defensive pressure must start....

I would be playing the Rock Lobster this week Cottrell no. 46 as he's the last bloke to show some spirit and grit after that late goal last year and we drop him....he can take Murph's spot...sorry mate we can't gift you a pensioners ticket to the 300 club. Don't need another Mick Martyn
Doc 1 tackle in 2 games...now thats seriously embarrassing from a co captain..wtf especially in a backline thats leaking easy goals...
Williamson needs to go back to the 2's seriously soft..and one sided only....
If I was journo at the presser I would ask Mr nice DT....do you get your guys to practice on their non-preferred sides for extended periods like Tom Mitchell did in the VFL with the Hawks before he became a 3 time premiership player and kicks more with his left foot than right in later years?
What did our skills coaches do in the 6 months offseason to address the issue of one sided players like Williamson?.. He has been caught stone dead 3 times Holding the ball trying to stop and prop back to his left foot.... amazing an AFL player can get to this level as a one sided player as a half back flanker(maybe a key position player can)
Footy scouts know quick time which players are one sided..I saw .Saad v Richmond kick a pinpoint 45m right foot pass along the boundary line and hit a target...thats skill but now the common std....what a difference between our average performers and elite player like Saad we bring in..we are miles away
Get some hard nuts in Bam Bam Kennedy needs to play..at least he has a body that can hurt/impact
Ugly if we lose to Freo...last rites for the season
Re: Pre Game Preparations: AFL 2021 R3 Carlton vs Fremantle at Marvel - WASurfer - 03-29-2021
Kennedy, Cottrell, Stocker......get all 3 of them in for this week.
Re: Pre Game Preparations: AFL 2021 R3 Carlton vs Fremantle at Marvel - dodge - 03-29-2021
I don't know the rules, but Kennedy and Cottrell are Rookies - can they just come in and play?
