AFL Rd 20 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Adelaide - crashlander - 07-22-2022
A Saturday night game and we're not on TV: with the Commonwealth Games on, no footy on TV on Saturday night.

I suspect you are wrong, Ch.7 have the 7pm Bulldogs / Handbaggers game listed!

At this point I'd be hoping for Marc Pittonet to come into the side for this game. He needs time at the top to reach the form he was in before he got injured.
Owies and Martin will be available. I don't expect both of them to come in, although one may.

Owies for Honey I reckon if if he's fit. If Pittonet comes in, SOS can play mainly forward and up high around the wings.....not sure him and Jack Martin can both play that role?

Be interesting to see how Walsh an Weitering pull up, hopefully they are ok and play. We need our best on the park for the remainder of the season.

Weitering needs time on the park to get some confidence back. He is not playing that well at the moment. he actually started the year a bit like this, and warmed into it. By the time we played Sydney, Weitering was at his best and dominated Franklin. That's what we need in the finals.
Young is the other one who has gone backwards lately. He isn't holding his marks at the moment and often two-hand punches where he was out-marking opponents earlier in the year. He needs to get that marking back.
One thing that was definitely in our favour was that McGovern was marking the ball pretty well. He'll get better at that as he gains more confidence .
Today was the a perfect opportunity to show how valuable Pittonet was earlier in the year. Tom de Koning struggles against the real Bull rucks. The other athletic rucks he usually beats.
Tom also doesn't direct his taps as well as Pittonet does. It is everything he can do to get his hand on the ball. Three or four time he gets it right and puts it down a mid's throat. They look just so good. But that is not the norm.

If Weitering needs a rest, this is our last chance before finals.
Give him the week off, bring in Marchbank.
We'd have Young, McGovern and Marchbank to hold down 2KPs and an intercepting role.....and get away with it against the crows.
Last 3 weeks we have Dees, Lions, Pies. We need to be at full strength for them.

Needs to stay composed, comes with confidence I guess. Pitto will provide some much needed support for Tommy and hopefully some confidence.

Small forwards are really disappointing and don't see them lifting when the heat is on as they havn't really all year - our talls doing it all. Understand we are playing the long game with them but how long?.... throw kitchen sink at Rankine and trade some players out.
