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

[LP]

In fairness to Brodie, Fraser and Jones, there is a hell of a difference between the suggestion and the implementation.

[PaulP]

Lots of the articles are behind a paywall Paul.... but Google "Liam Jones and Paul Brodie" and the summaries indicate it was Brodie who first suggested  the idea, and the coaches gave it a try.

I don't know what to tell you Lods. Jones mentions plenty of people in that interview : Matthew Scarlett, Rodney Eade, Josh Bruce, Josh Fraser, Kade Simpson, Bolts, his parents, siblings, former team mates............I can't remember them all. Given that the interview was ostensibly a casual chat about his journey to 150 games, it would, IMO, be a significant oversight and / or slap in the face if he left out the one person who came up with the idea. He says he was stuck on 80 odd games and well on track to being delisted, before being moved back.

Yes, notwithstanding all of the above, moving a failed forward to the backline is not exactly an earth shatteringly original idea - it seems to happen every season. Making the move a successful one is another matter entirely.

I find the the omission of SPS hard to believe!

Doggies  No Martín or English, that hurts their structure big time!!  Silvagni, Williams IN  SPS, Dow, McGovern out

Medical sub from DeKoning, SPS, Dow, Setterfield

Inexplicable LP!  He made a huge difference when he came on.

Agree, I thought he showed a lot when he came into the midfield last week. We still need to name a medical sub so he’s the most likely if the emergencies listed.

[townsendcalling]

I would guess the medical sub will be Setterfield. I wouldn’t waste DeKoning on the pine when we can get another game into him, SPS needs a full game somewhere and Dow still needs to find some form.

[Lods]

I think SPS ...and Dow are both unlucky.
SPS had an impact when he came on and Dow started really well last week.
