Pre game postulations: AFL 2020 Rd 5: Carlton vs St. Kilda

[Professer E]

That discard Butler, that some have ridiculed for showing interest in,  was BoG on the weekend.  Not bad for a freebie.  Papley is a quality player but we missed an opportunity I reckon.

Ryder didn't play yesterday. "Managed"

Interesting, they stated that is how they would manage him when he was traded.

Why is it they manage a guy like Ryder, while we run Kreuzer in to the ground at every opportunity?

Kreuzer breaks down in round 1 every year.

It also helps we finally found an alternative that is also not made of glass.

That's a bit of an early Crow, I'll wait until Pittonet has been challenged by a few more real ruck options, not B-Graders mixed with converted KPPs. 

Bellchambers had it over Pittonet early, but our midfield was far better organised to rove to the losing ruck and it made a world of difference. To Pittonet's credit, he got himself back into the game by doing the stuff that makes rucks far more valuable than just the tap, the bullocking, the ground work, etc., etc.. They've even got Levi doing it now, it's a breath of fresh air.

Its not about quality, its about the ability to play 4 quarters every week.

The fact that he is effective is a bonus.

Yes. It's great seeing our big guys throw their weight around. Pitto's a natural. Levi's added this to his game.

I'd like to see Pitto use his positioning to advantage our players a bit more. It's those shepherds and momentary delays that can give our boys time to dispose more effectively. Gibbons does this regularly, taking the heat off and creating thinking space.

Marshall v Pitto

Pitto will hold his own, at worst.

Ryder - doubt they'll even play him. Slow as a wet week.

Will big H be fit (and picked)?

Is Fisher ready to resume - did he get a run this weekend gone?

Surely they must give Philp another crack? (though Fisher is an obvious like for like)

Kennedy for SOJ is a like for like replacement, but if they want Fisher and Big H in?

Newnes must be marginal, after that it gets tough....

Be aware that our game will be on Thursday night now. Qld Govt won't let Richmond fly in, fly out. Richmond are now going to play Melbourne and the Eagles will now play the Swans.  Just all being worked through as we speak.

QLD are not allowing their teams to play a Victorian side anywhere  without quarantining for 14 days afterwards lol.
