But If I'm speculating the reasons given for the swap might be BS, then I guess I shouldn't place much reliance on what was said while announcing it.Article did say it was a training incident. But i noted it prior, so perhaps he reinjured it at training...or made it worse to the point he can't play, or they've said enough is enough, we need to rest him because he keeps injuring it.....

Here is the post from R3 post game i made...

Pittonet got subbed out late.
Weitering grabbed at his groin on multiple occasions in the last, and grabbed at his foot/toe multiple times as well. He'd have to have an amputated to not play next week.
Silvagni was limping post game.
I hope we can keep our boys fit enough for next week.
Also very much looking for Saad coming back. We saw with JC how important run and carry off half back is, he single handedly got/kept them in the game and we missed that from our end.

I reckon tonight's game will give us the most accurate indication of where we are. Tonight is the litmus test.
Re: AFL Rd 6 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Fremantle - Mav - 04-23-2022
No doubt about that Baggers. Initially, I was pretty dismissive of Freo but the more I looked at them, the more I was impressed. We just don't get to see them much over here. Freo is rarely on FTA and even if you have FoxFooty their games tend to be overshadowed by games involving the big Victorian teams that are played at the same time. They really have some good young talent. Looking a few years down the track, the only area in which we should be stronger than them is in the key forward department. Taberner's 28 and Lobb's 30 or so, while Harry's 22 and Charlie's 25. But of course it doesn't work like that. The Hun ran an article about Victorian clubs jockeying to pinch their full back Pearce who'll be a free agent at the end of the year. And Gold Coast could tell a few stories about how hard it is to keep talented young players together when other clubs start sniffing around. Some Victorian club pinched one of Freo's best young mids last year IIRC.

"Harry's 22 and Charlie's 25."
That can't be right Mav. Charlie, Harry, Weiters and Jack were drafted in the same year and all were born in 1997. Charlie has already turned 25, Harry's birthday is in December.
I imagine that Freo's list manager has plans in place to replace Lobb (and Mundy!) in the near future. Whether he can come up with a talent like Charlie or Harry is another matter.
Freo certainly flies under the radar of folk in the eastern states and they have maintained a pretty good list for some time. For some reason, their performances don't always reflect the strebgth of their list.
It should be a good contest tonight and I'm quietly confident
Re: AFL Rd 6 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Fremantle - Mav - 04-23-2022
Yep, Harry's 24. As teachers are wont to say, I was just checking if you were concentrating. :-[

Boyd, Motlop and Plowman are the traveling emergencies. Wonder if there will be more last minute changes. 3 seem to be a lot of backup.

Nice article about Charlie, Cerra & Hewitt: Old and new navy Blues: How three recruits have reshaped Carlton, The Age.

What a super talent Charlie is - we probably all thought "if he can come back half as good that'still a good player" He is a natural star like Doc pretty much. This team has faced so much adversity would love to see our players get some reward now.
