Yes, a bit of a rubbish selection, it must be work experience week.

What AFL team has Pittonet, De Koning, Young, McGovern, Cripps, McKay, Charlie, Jones and Weitering all in the one line up! That would be the slowest most lopsided team ever sent on an AFL field is the games history, nine players in or around 200cm!

Kemp and Honey would be in my best 22...along with Durdin.
We have to progress and need our kids to step up and become regulars.
Can't play Pittonet and Young in the same team either unless Young is playing a KP role.
Jack and McGovern are also similar..Jack is my preference..

The backline is too short - no third tall defender (I’m assuming Young couldn’t play that role) so Plowman or Kemp would have to come in.

Ed Curnow has to start in the midfield in a run with role.  The only exception would be if we wanted to make a running defender accountable.

If that was a school assignment, the writer would be told to do it again and put some thought into it ?

I thought Young was to brought in as a 3rd tall down back.

I read somewhere else that Ed is going to be a pressure forward next year.

From what I've seen, Young is a CHB/FB and not agile enough to match up with the players Plowman or Kemp usually get.  Could we play Weitering as the third tall?  He's good enough to stay with most forwards.

Haven't we tried Ed as a pressure forward before?

He's our best run with player and I think he should be used as such until Hewett takes over.

I would like to think Young may be able to do a lockdown job, allowing Weitering to become more of a Lever/Stewart/Haynes/Jonas quarterback role.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Our club is genuinely back to front, most club's let the old blokes play a role and let them do lockdowns roles in D50, like FB or the BP!

We get our oldest blokes and let them get smashed and run-off their feet inside our F50!

I think that is still a bit too top heavy, a 1980s style line up, especially that FF line, you need a genuine small on that line, Owies, Fisher, Philp or Durdin type.

Also the interchange isn't functional, no chance Stocker isn't a starter after last season, more like Williams would be off the bench than Stocker. You probably start McGovern or De Koning on the bench as well, it's not a bad line up.

Perhaps you don't have Pittonet, Walsh, Cripps and Cerra all in the midfield as once, that is a bit of a slow mix. You probably need to swapped one out for a Dow, Williams or Saad, or flip the rucks around and have De Koning with the slow mix and Pittonet with the runners.

Cunningham seems to be a forgotten entity with fans, how quickly some seem to move on! :o If he is ready to go I'm not sure Kennedy and Ed get a start in 2022!
