Pre game prosecution: AFL 2021 Rd 8: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[Gointocarlton]

In a tiny spot at the back of the WBs minds, there is LWL. Whilst we are inconsistent, our best can challenge anyone. Four qtrs of hard honest football and we are definitely a chance. Anything less and they will wipe the grass with us.

Rumours circulating Levi is an out.

Would love to see Williams, SPS, Dekoning and Silvagni in for Newnes, McGovern, Casboult and Gibbo.

Won’t happen but would like to see it - make Murphy earn  recall and retain Dow.

Surely they won't bring Murphy back immediately...

Apart from discussing the game itself, the article also touches a little on Cripps, LOB, ins and outs, and a chart from Champion Data.

You can bet they will.

You can bet they will.

Only surer bet would be having a punt on" Winx"....

I think we play both Pittonet and De Koning, if English plays.  Pittonet against Martín and De Koning to play the same roll as English and go on the ball when he does. Drop Casboult. No matter what we can’t have De  Koning as the one and only based on only 1 return game. We need to ease him into it even at AFL level. 

SOS for Gov (they are both 191 cm), Murphy for Gibbons (Murphy better disposal and hits the scoreboard)  Williams in for Newnes (medical sub)  SPS in for Cottrell.

Gee 5 changes!!! But I think we are better.

I'm tempted to keep Casboult in if fit to play down  back if required...Dogs often rest English forward and along with Naughton and Bruce thats one too many talls for us to handle. Parks couldnt handle the Ess kid Jones who was just too tall and I'd like the option of using Casboult at both ends and having him on the bench.
Happy to play TDK and Jack, have to remember the Dogs bat deep in the midfield and you cant have players who wont man up and chase vs this mob. Murphy and SPS both worry me in that regard, Williams in for sure but I'd be inclined to keep SPS as the medical sub. This is one game where defensively everyone has to play their part....cant have Cripps man running wild if its going to be the Bont, McCrae, Smith etc and Curnow cant cover every quality they have mid .I think Cottrell plays this week and I'd stick him on Hunter who has been burning it up. Fogarty to play a negative role on Daniel and stop his rebound..

English still doesn't look like playing.
