Pre game Promise AFL Rd 17 Carlton vs Geelong?

[LP]

Something is wrong Surfie, Walters is a very good footballer but played like he was in a purple haze, not sure why Longmuir didnt give him a run in the middle when they were struggling.
Could see him at another club if it continues...

 Won't run both ways, so he is exposed under the current rules.

They're emergencies.

Yes and one could replace Cripps and one could be the medical sub.  Being named in the 26 should be a reward for form and effort and, if that was the case, Honey and Kemp would be named before Setterfield and Fisher.

[Gointocarlton]

Despite the outs for them, I give us little chance, Geel by 24-30.

Willo is unlucky to miss out.  Zac will have to put in a very good game to justify his selection.

I'm perplexed that Fisher and Setterfield are straight back in the mix after injury.  Neither of them should be walk-up starts on pre-injury form.  It must be frustrating for a couple of players in the twos.

I think its more about the opposition we are facing and what we might need in the team.

In that case Willo would stay in the team and Williams would come in for Martin.  Cottrell, Martin, Honey and Kemp would be the emergencies.

Cannot and will not win this game.

[capcom]

I can't see it either.  All but a small faint hope

I give us some hope, Geelong are very cocky and resting a couple of senior players because they think they are that good.
Got a carp ruckman in Stanley, dont have a real tall defender unless Blicavs play down there so Harry should be in play a bit and Danger only turns up when he feels he has to. Got some very decent forwards but Weitering can match Hawkins and Rohan is very hit and miss. Obviously if those two get enough ball it will be over as they dont miss  but if we can control the midfield we can limit their entries and provide our own forwards with more supply. Its going to require great defensive effort from our forwards as well given they are a strong intercept team with players like Stewart, The traitor Henderson and Henry who take a lot of marks from poor entries. Expect OConnor and Guthrie to tag Cripps, Walsh so a few other mids will need to be on their game to pick up the slack.
Danger players IMO as I said before are Smith and Menegola on the wings who play well every week and we dont need two bananas picking them up who want to play wide and not man up their opponents..

I would think Cripps wont play.

Is play curnow on menagola and take him out of the game. Underrated player imo.
