Pre-Game Pressure: AFL 2019 Rd 8: Carlton vs GWS - crashlander - 05-11-2019
Next week we play the late match on Sunday afternoon, starting at 1640 in Sydney. Not going to be on TV again.
Not really happy about that, but ...
We have a chance of having Liam Jones back, which will help our defence. Mind you Levi Casboult had a very good game against Collingwood.
GWS are depending on Dawson Simpson at the moment for ruckman: he is beatable, which could make a huge difference for us.
If we can come back after having our hearts broken again, that would be a phenomenal effort. And the Umpiring simply cannot be as one-sided again. I really hope we officially complain. But that is another story.

You want to fix the umpiring from this weeks game?
You expect that will happen against the AFLs pride and joy.....and on their turf?
Dreaming.
Could be interesting team selection this week.
Jones would probably come straight in. Casboult out? Too top heavy with him in??
Plowman potentially injured, who takes his spot? Are Newman and/or Simpson ready yet?

By the sounds of how Levi played today it would be a shame to see him dropped to bring in Jones. I think Jones is better in defence but it would deflate Levi after a decent game in a new role. Team balance and match ups are most important. I wonder what BB has in mind for team selection. It would be great to get Doc in but he should not have to worry about games on the field this season.

I think Newman is a chance, Simpson needs at least another week. No idea about Jones

We bring what we brought yesterday for 110 mins for 120 mins, we are every chance irrespective of the ins/out.

I give us a chance vs GWS for sure but playing them interstate probably is a tougher ask IMO than the Pies, I'd be more inclined to give those injured players another week and look to have them cherry
ripe for very winnable games in Stkilda and Essendon. Lose both those games and I think the shite will hit the fan big time..

Pick the best side every week and plan to beat everyone, if they are ready, they are up for selection. Anyone, anywhere, anytime, we want to beat GWS, StK, CheatsFC and any one else we play.

Yep. Agree, totally.

I suspect if Newman is even close to right he will have to come in and replace Plowman (injured)
