Rd 2: Carlton vs Sydney Pre Game Postulations - crashlander - 03-25-2016
On the 3rd of April we play Sydney. An interesting game considering we played Sydney at Etihad just a few weeks back.
of the guys who played on Thursday, Dylan Buckley probably had the least impact. His spot would be the most likely to be available.
Ciaran Byrne is the guy most likely to be promoted on his last effort. It would be harder to promote Charlie Curnow, Smith or Whiley simply because they didn't play and couldn't impress.
Walker is another possible option to be dropped: he started well enough but fell out of the game like he'd been shot. A week or 2 in the Magoos may help his fitness and confidence.
Not a high probability change.
Everitt will probably retain his spot: 17 possessions and a couple of VERY nice goals probably cancels out his less than optimum work rate.
Lamb is another guy who might be considered: he was OK without doing a heap. His defensive pressure is much more obvious than anything Everitt has done.

I would be surprised if Thomas doesn't get a run, not that I necessarily think that he's entitled to a game.
Buckley has to be vulnerable and I reckon Lamb could make way too; one tackle isn't good enough for a bloke who is supposed to help lock the ball into the forward 50.
I'd like to see Byrne get a game. His run is important but he's got some attitude to go with it.
White may be another who the selectors will look at.
We still don't have the depth and blokes in the NBs demanding games but it will be interesting to see how the MC responds to average performances.

I reckon Bolton will go in with the same team TBH, they had a good crack, give them another go.

White will get dropped imo. Made a couple of big errors. Lamb i thought was pretty good.

I thought he virtually guaranteed Daisy a run so I'm expecting at least one change.
Re: Rd 2: Carlton vs Sydney Pre Game Postulations - PassIt2Carrots - 03-25-2016
White for Daisy?

BB pretty much said in his presser that Daisy would come in and Buckley would be vulnerable IMO. I think we'll retain White for his toughness against the Swans. Byrne would be a good addition but who goes out for him? Not sure - he may have to wait a little longer.

Changes won't be easy as Buckley was the only player to have a truly bad game. Even then it was probably just a bad one but then again you'd want Byrne to come in. Like Jaksch to come in for White as I think we need a 2nd key forward to help Casboult. Bar the 2 awful errors in the 2nd qtr, which cost us a goal, he wasn't too bad.
Daisy will probably come in but i'm not sure who for. If it was a choice to pick Byrne or Daisy I'd go Byrne first as his form in the VFL has been so good.
Re: Rd 2: Carlton vs Sydney Pre Game Postulations - BluePhantom - 03-26-2016
So did Charlie miss playing the VFL and the main game due to being an emergency?
If this is so then I think Bolts might give him a go up forward and just shift Cas up to CHF.
Syd are a relative tall team aren't they? Who will stand Franklin?

Thought Walker wasn't too bad. Used his body well for a couple of lovely marks. Wouldn't be dropping him.
Yes, Everitt, for all his criticisms, does take marks and hits the scoreboard regularly.
