AFL Rd 2 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[kruddler]

Just spitballing, but....
Walsh for Cerra
Dow for Martin
(or vice versa)

If Dow is up for midfield role, let Walsh play on the wing.
Otherwise Walsh in the guts and Dow on the wing.

Dont mind Dow on the wing, has the pace and ability to carry ball, we all know his kicking aint flash but if he gets enough ball and its heading our way I think he can do the job.
Carroll is more of a specialist winger who I really like but he probably needs some more VFL footy to get some consistency, if Philp was fit I would have picked him this week.
One of our wingers will have to do a more negative job if opposed to Hunter who gets a lot of ball, can also drift down forward and kick goals and is a key link in the Dogs chain of attack usually. He cant be getting 25-30 easy possies due to poor manning up and being that connection player into the forward line.

TBH, i'd prefer Dow in the middle with Walsh on the wing, but not sure Voss trusts him that much considering he couldn't even crack it for a half in the pre-season.

Ins: Lachie Fogarty, Sam Walsh
Outs: Adam Cerra, Jack Martin (both AFL Health and Safety Protocols)

Not my choice, but we'll see.

A bit surprised to see Fogarty named but great to have Sam back.
I’m tipping us despite our Covid issues.

[capcom]

IMO, Fogarty was a "no" ...

[tonyo]

Bailey Smith is a big out.  Real X-factor.

Most definitely.

[JonDorotich]

Don’t really like the look of Fogarty, Newman & O’Brien in the one side.

I may have pigeon holed all three unfairly but I don’t see them offering what Dow, Kemp and Motlop could.

We’ll see!

Agreed ...
