AFL Rd 16 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St Kilda - crashlander - 06-25-2022
At 1950 on Friday night. Why the Hawthorn vs Dogs game can start nice and early and our is so late ...
It is possible that Weitering will return. No certainty, but we can hope.

I can't say I've ever seen Weiters get a fair run against King!

Weitering with 1 arm amputated is still better than anyone else that could take his spot.

I week early just isn't worth it, no matter how desperate fans become!

Same tactics as vs Freo, win the midfield, dominate possession and if the ball doesnt get down to King he cant mark it or sling tackle anyone either. Think we are much better than the Saints and I'd be saving Weitering for Hawkins and his buddy Cameron..

Voss has indicated that Weitering is most unlikely to play this week, they need to stick to the timeline. I wonder if they had thought that way if we had lost today?

'No, we need to let him recover, don't want to rush him.'
'Well, he made a miraculous improvement throughout the week and did everything we asked of him, so we picked him.'
Either way, its a win.

Voss doesn't appear to me to be a panic merchant!
Excluding players who fail to get up due to injury, I suspect the only likely change for next week will be Cerra in probably for Motlop, and even Motlop might be a bit unlucky because he wasn't bad at all yesterday.
Based on the last few weeks, I wouldn't be adverse to seeing Young start on King even if Weitering came in. It's the sort of challenge a kid growing in confidence like Young could really relish, and that would leave Weitering or whoever to get up the ground and hit some targets from intercept marks.
Freo as a KPP / Ruck group type opponent was a significant challenge and we got through it pretty well, in conditions that should have suited Freo perfectly.

Ironically we could get Ratten sacked again.
