Pre Game Prognostications AFL 2019 Rd 21 Carlton vs Richmond

[Jack Burton]

Agree with a week in the VFL for Gov. I'd be shocked if Cuningham comes back this week, played very limited minutes in the VFL on the weekend

Lang looks like Cunners would've looked if he came back 2 weeks ago.

Limps around, slow as treacle, doesn't impact games much,...if at all.

An unfit Cunners could perform the same role Lang is doing currently.

Lang apparently is doing a defensive  F50 role pretty well according to the commentary team.  Saw him do a couple of good things but wasn't exactly overwhelmed by his contribution.

If McKay is fit I'm the Pope.

His kicking has gone from reliable to lacking penetration.  I reckon he's playing through injury and McGovern might come in for him as an alternative.

Like him or not, our forwards kick more goals with him there than without him.

Lang must be delisted ... useless recuiting

From another site “I’m told it’s groin related- he can play with it but has changed his kicking style to ease the pain trouble... hence the wayward shots late in the season.”

With no Charlie, no McGovern, no Kerr, he’s almost the last man standing and this could make sense.

Personally I'd give Goddard and Schunacher the flick, let them take Lang with them.

Bring back in Jones and Daisy and, if fit, Cunners for Lang.

Lang is trying to play the Jed Lamb role but he is nit as annoying to his opponent - only to the fans who  hope he will do something useful.

Cuningham has more to offer than Lang but he did stuff-all in limited game time in the curtain raiser.

Schumacher got caught out a few times due to lack of awareness and the pace of the game but I wouldn't mind if he gets another game; he looks promising.

It was like watching a train crash about to happen when Schumacher received a handball at halfback.  I guess it was a good lesson for the young man.  I thought he did enough to keep his place but will probably make way for Daisy.  He was stiff not to get a free for in the back when Liam Ryan was paid the mark in the goal square.

He'll get use to life playing for Carlton, first he'll get angry, then he'll get even!

i think Thomas will come in for Schumacher, Kreuzer for Phillips, and Jones for Goddard. That's a much stronger team than last week. No-one bashing the door down for Lang's position unfortunately
