2018 Rd 2: Pre game Palaver; Carlton vs. Gold Coast

[PaulP]

I'd believe the club website...makes more sense

The clubs must feed the team sheet to the AFL - so how were the names transposed ? Do the teams submit a sketch list and then a final ?

FWIW, I really want to see Harry play, but as an emergency, that's most unlikely.

Not if Kreuzer doesn't come up

Yes, I guess so, although you'd think Krooz would not be named unless he was a strong chance. I'd like to see them both on the park.

100 games for Murph as captain and 50 AFL games for Jed Lamb.

Congratulations to Murphy and The Pest ...
Hope the boys get the win for our milestone men

Go Blues

Well, it's obvious that Kennedy is still injured.

Jack dropped. Well it was on the cards.

Happy with the ins.

[LoveNavy]

Excellent changes. Now I'm pretty sure we're fair dinkum.

SOJ was giving his all but not hurting the opposition. Cam O'Shea to free up Mullett for a more attacking/midfield role and maybe Cuningham HFF, he can hit the scoreboard?

Interesting that the AFL websitse has TDK as an emergency and the club's website has H as an emergency ??? AFL website also had Kennedy as omitted  :o

AFL now have H listed. Perhaps they saw your post Baggers ^-^

Both sides have 4 emergencies named. I can't think of a good reason for it, but ...

Their forward line has 2 talls, Day and Lynch and 4 shorter guys.

I hope Kreuzer has recovered. I probably wouldn't have played him, but I am pretty conservative in that area. The club rarely follows my opinions on such matters.
Last year at Etihad was one of the very few times that Kruezer got beaten last year. Witts had him covered. That was something I never expected to see: I was not impressed by Witts at Collingwood. However, Witts was excellent in 2017 and made me eat my opinion. I would certainly like Kreuzer to be 100% in the circumstances.
Lynch also really hurt us. Kicking 10 goals was the difference then.

Hope Holman does well. Reckon he'd be a good mid for the mighty Blues.

On paper, their team looks so-so.

In his draft year he was one of only 2 Murray Bushrangers to get selected. He wanted the ball and it showed. I was disappointed when he was let go. Pace was his issue then. Hopefully it still is.

Not a lot of big names have GC...missing two metre Peter is an advantage for us...their midfield is very blue collar, Hall is a good inclusion for them.
Ainsworth and ex Port player Aaron Young are two we need to watch, both good goalkickers and we wouldnt want to be too loose down back....
With the players named we are probably one tall too many down back given their four small/mid forwards.....think OShea might start on the bench and Mullett at half back which concerns me...
