JLT 2018 - Carlton v Hawthorn (Sat 10th Feb)

[flyboy77]

Should be a sunny day in old Launny!

Saturday 10 March

Summary  Min 13  Max 27
Partly cloudy.Chance of any rain: 0% 
Launceston area
Partly cloudy. Light winds becoming north to northwesterly 15 to 25 km/h during the day then becoming light during the evening.

The Hawks? Meh.

Blues by 37. In a canter.

Hawks (with no Rioli for sometime I gather) look ordinary everywhere. A few good kids eg Ryan Burton but no real stars (Roughy fading, Mitchell a possie machine but....).

Siciliy and Gunston as defenders? Surely robbing Peter to pay Paul? Frawley and Gunston at 193cm their key defenders. Who stands Harry at 203cm and Levi at 201cm? Let alone who runs with Charlie?

Looking forward to seeing SPS hook up with Crippa, Kennedy, Paddy  D., and the cousins!

Reckon if we win this one we’ll be taking a fair bit of confidence into the start of the season. Knocking off two teams who are predicted to finish above us would be a great sign.

If we’re going full dress rehearsal, I dare say Samo and Weiters come in for LOB and Lamb. Maybe Mullet out for O’Shea too.

[flyboy77]

Agreed Navy and I might add for all the hype on Charlie, I reckon Samo has just as much chance as becoming 'elite' as anyone in our team...

Jacon Hopper at GWS? Samo would run rings around him.

Squad named - O'Shea in, Garlett out (shoulder).

SPS and weiters name too....

[flyboy77]

Melbourne St Kilda tonight folks.

Should give us a fair indication of where we sit.... could the Saints beat the Dees?

Squad named - O'Shea in, Garlett out (shoulder).

SPS and weiters name too....

Interesting to note no Williamson, named as an emergency last week but nothing this week.

If we elect to lose 2 players and run with 6 on the bench again, i'd prefer to give Daisy and Mullet the week off.
Daisy is a known constant. No reason for playing him.
Mullett was simply terrible and should have just rules himself out for R1 based on previous effort.

The others have something to prove or need game time.

[PaulP]

Interesting to note no Williamson, named as an emergency last week but nothing this week.

Mild stress reaction in his back. Should be ready for R1, according to Andy Mac.

[LP]

That is two seriously strong squads, should be some good football if the weather permits.
