Pre Game Promise AFL Rd 19 Carlton vs North Melbourne at Marvel?

[Gointocarlton]

Id think about playing Liam Jones at full forward and line up like we did against the cats.  Or this might be plan b if owies, cripps, betts, Martin and co aren't getting the job done. 

I dont think Jones will move outside the def half (mostly) for the rest of his career at Carlton.

Turner, Hall, Atley, Walker, and a young L plater in Ben McKay isnt exactly the next AA defense, if we cant get contributors to kick a few goals vs those blokes we might as well give it away....
Williams and Martin should both be big contributors today and pay back some of the faith shown in them..

and how do we get the ball to them? Dribble it inside 50?

With no big marking forwards to worry about, they just need to defend the corridor and guard space there.
Small forwards pushed to the boundary to get marks inside 50, where conversion chances are low. You need key forwards leading to create space and or create crumbs.

We better hope we get a lot of turnovers in the middle and/or free kicks to get the ball forward in a hurry. If they have time to setup we are going to struggle to score.

Richmond won a flag with one key forward and five little blokes, must have been a lot of dribbling....Nth are on the bottom for a reason, they are 5 years behind us in a rebuild with a novice coach.
Time for our coach to show why he should be there next year and some big money players to deliver......

Thats one more than we have today.

FWIW, Murphy the sub.

I can't help but think "Why didn't we play Charlie?" as being the #1 question asked by one and all after this game.

I thought about this and then realised that the marvel car park isn't the best place for Charlie and we might do well to not play him there ever again.

Just sit him in the goal square and put his hand up in the air.

I guess getting rid of a few talls has come back to bite us now we have injuries....Just the one in say Pat Kerr would have been handy just to have a big body on the park who could contest. Its not like Nth are flush with quality talls down back either now Tarrant is out. Even our mate Ben Crocker might have been handy as a mobile FF.....

Why didn't we pick up Crocker might be the #2 question being asked!

Probably because he's not good/big enough for AFL  :-\

McDonald was supposed to provide cover for our talls
