AFL Rd 7 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne

[kruddler]

Not worried about this one. North are that bad. Carlton being Carlton though they'll likely decide to jog through the game and win by 10-15pts.

We have a terrible record against North in recent times.
Played them once a year for the past 8 years.
Won once!

Is there any reason why Will Hayes doesn't get  run. Is he ineligible?

Yep, not on the AFL list.

Goldstein and Cerro are significant rucks, losing Pitto timing couldn't be worse!

Tend to agree, if Xerri can do the ruck work then Goldstein can play forward which is where he will trouble us, Larkey got injured so I'm hoping he doesnt play, Ben McKay was also sore so if they lose those two as well as not having bogeyman Cunnington who is still out who always plays well against us I cant see them winning.

Guarantee one of Ben McKay or Harry McKay won't play.
Its like Batman and Bruce Wayne.

Yep, not on the AFL list.

So how does it work to get him playing for us Krudd?

Same way it would for anyone else.
Draft him.

Best chance would be mid-season draft as few players are actually drafted there.

Of course if we have a COVID crisis like Eagles did, you are allowed to recruit top up players that are not on your list to fill in for a game or 2, and we might get the option of playing him then, but unlikely that will happen.

The notion that sides have the wood on us is undercut by the fact we've been crap for a decade. If we've improved markedly over last year, then the recent win-loss record against various teams isn't of great importance. The Tigers and Hawks also had a very good record against us for the past decade.

Have it on pretty good authority from over here that Jack Carroll will play this week. Walk up start to replace Setterfield on the wing.

Hopefully Silvagni and Kennedy are right to go. If McKay doesn't come  up, one of them might have to be a forward option.

Surely Stocker gets a chance this week.

Not sure we have an ideal match up for Zurhaar either and he's a very dangerous sort. We have a habit of playing them back into form.

Do we roll the dice and play Mirkov this week especially if McKay is out? TDK can play second tall and ruck as well? They have Goldstein and Xerri and we've seen twice this year what happens when we get monstered in the ruck....we've lost both times.

Someone said Mirkov got injured in the VFL.
Can anyone confirm?

Zurhaar is a tough hombre and I reckon Stocker is the ideal matchup, be nice to see Carroll get a game and hopefully get a run of games. I probably would have played him vs Freo in front of his family....No Pittonet means Mirkov has to play IMHO.
