AFL Rd 5 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[crashlander]

Backs: Zac Williams  Lewis Young  Sam Docherty
Half-backs:  Adam Saad Jacob Weitering  Luke Parks
Centreline:  Sam Walsh  George Hewett  Jack Newnes
Half-forwards:  Matthew Owies  Charlie Curnow  Jack Martin
Forwards:  Zac Fisher  Harry McKay  Jack Silvagni
Followers:  Marc Pittonet  Adam Cerra  Will Setterfield
Interchange:  Matthew Cottrell  Corey Durdin  Matthew Kennedy  Nic Newman
Emergencies:  Tom De Koning  Paddy Dow  Lachie Fogarty Lochie O'Brien 

I'm surprised that Dow is not in the 22, but he will be the injury sub.
To be honest, I'd rather another real ruck than relying on Silvagni, but that is another tale.

Lots changes, risky, hope we win.

Can't win with the picked side, we're starting to draw upon "depth" players, and that doesn't auger well.

Fisher and Martin should buy lotto tickets,  they're blessed to be in the seniors this week.

Agree never like when there are so many depth players in the one game. Setterfield should buy bingo tickets as well as lotto.

[Baggers]

I like the changes. 2 reasons - a) reward for effort & b) a strong message.

Should give blokes in the Magoos incentive as well. Few blokes there, if they continue good form, will press for selection for next week - further pressure on a few blokes in the ones. Fisher, Owies and Martin would want to improve/lift... a lot.

The hype, honeymoon and romance are over. Time to put in 120 minutes of pure focus, intensity, hard work a doing your job... very, very well.

I just hope Harry is on his game and Curnow puts in 4 quarters.  That goes for many others too !

Agree but made harder with Aliir Aliir back.

Unlikely he will be match fit and his inclusion which is weeks earlier then predicted screams of desperation from Hinkley who just needs the win to keep the wolves at bay.

Even though he wont be 100% our delivery into the F50 has to be directed low and clean or he will pick them off.

0 - 5 and they most likely won't make the eight Shawny.  Can't shed a tear over that outcome.

Perhaps we should be playing our 210cm ruckman Mirkov!!

Port have included young ruckman Sam Hayes "205cm" 22 years 102 kg

cheers Ab

I would like to have a second ruck in the 22. But I don't select the team. I just hope they know more than I do.

The axe dropped - nice.
