Pre Game Premonitions: AFL 2021 Rd 6: Carlton vs Brisbane - crashlander - 04-16-2021
The game is set for Sat 24th April at 1635 at Marvel. Hoping the Blues turn up.

I might turn up.. Hour and a half drive to the game, hour and a half drive the other way for an Eric Bogle concert. Would have gone to Bogle the night before (and only 20 minute drive) but already got the AFLW B&F tickets.
On the horns of a dilemma.

What type of Carlton will turn up?
Brisbane looked good beating Essendon, who made us look good.

Brisbane are at full strength, you look at their team and you want to look away real quick, if Weitering doesnt play its going to very hard to stop their tall marking forwards. Jones get Daniher then you are relying on undersized defenders to take on players like Hipwood and McStay. Even their smalls like Cameron and McCarthy are strong in the air too.
Down the other end they have decent size to look after McKay and Casboult too, Levi might have to play down back.
One move I would make is to tag Daniel Rich, we let him run off half back and he always ends up being the one delivering misery to us in the forward line because our forwards dont pick him up or the coaching box is too stupid to recognize the damage he does. We can win but this game needs more planning than most IMO and more consideration of the opposition players and matchups. Williams has to lift and prove he is worth the money this week, Brisbane run a few tags with Berry, Lyons, Robbo etc and its going to be harder for Cripps, Walsh etc to impact so we need to get more out of our other mids.
Hopefully Brisbane lose a few players at training etc and even up the contest a bit...

I don't know what to think other than load up and do it all again. Every game is a must win no matter who the opposition is. There should be a lot of outs but not many can come in. Stocker the obvious in. Was thinking should Doc be taken out of the backline and give him a run in the midfield?

Personally, I don't see it now and not on Saturday afternoon.
Re: Pre Game Premonitions: AFL 2021 Rd 6: Carlton vs Brisbane - cookie2 - 04-18-2021
Maybe we should be looking at moving Williams to the HB line? I know shuffling deck chairs but I think he would be more value to us there atm. Try Doc in the midfield.

Shuffling the deck chairs is a good idea
Williams to HBF, SPS to the middle
McGovern or Casboult to FB, depending on opponent (gorilla Casboult), Jones to the wing (and second ruck)
I’d play Stocker, Cunningham & Dow for the rest of the year, sending Newnes, Murphy and Williamson to the seconds.
Must be bold

I'm close to giving up after 50+ years. Another season, another year wasted.
Our simply incredible list management team forgot to put a back up tall defender on the list, instead relying the likes of Caleb Marchbank to come good. Bzzzzzzt. Epic fail. If Weitering misses we are truly rooted. Options are.... Casboult to CHB? Cue crickets. Out of options.
Meanwhile we have systemic problems on every line.... WTF do we persist with MacGovern, WHY!?! I just don't get it. He is the laziest footballer I've ever seen. FFS, Make him earn it Teague, he's taking the pi55 that bloke. Yes, our membership money. Going to that fraud... Yep it grinds my gears. Just delist this bloke.
Marc Murphy needs to gracefully exit stage left, it's getting embarrassing. Is this bloke going to tag Rich, can't see it myself. BTW, what's the plan there Teague, let Rich run around and get 40 kicks unimpeded?
Stocker to play every game for the rest of the year, and I'd think about Carroll as well. We desperately need to inject some class into this side, we're got too many names not delivering and they need a kick in the ar5e and a run in the twos.... Time to try somebody else because the 22 were putting out each week isn't delivering.
Frustrated and extremely pissed right now.

Stocker may get a run this week after a dominant display in the 2s, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't though. Carroll is injured isn't he?
