AFL Rd 15 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Fremantle

[tonyo]

I think Honey needs to come in.  Has a very happy knack of getting to the right places at the right time.  Probably replaces Corey Durdin, who has lost a bit of mojo over the past 2-3 weeks.

Replaces Martin IMO

Yep, I would have dropped Martin if he wasn't injured...

Replaces Martin IMO

Yep, you're right

Honey managed 13 possessions and 4 goals, which was reasonable. Not getting enough of the pill, but he was doing something with it this time.
Stocker must be a chance: he stood up and dominated the back half. 26 possessions and 9 marks.
Cincotta impresses me. I love his second and third efforts and his kicking is good. 27 possessions, 5 marks and 5 tackles. A pity that we have players who fill his role, as he looks like a good'un. Play him on a wing?

Martin looks cooked along with some others on our list unfortunately for us
Honey has to be strongly considered but also understand one more week in the VFL is ok with me.

Kemp and Honey ins. Martin and Durdin out and age profile against Freo should be very low.

Obvious replacement for Martin. Honey is one of those blokes who makes things happen from limited opportunities. Got a bit of mongrel -- also Stocks, who could also return -- and we like that!

Was totally against Mirkov getting a look in this year but I think we need to take a few risks given the fact that the cupboard is bare!!  We have been getting very little out of DeKoning, JSOS has been more effective.  Mirkov to just contest, DeKoning to go to half back ( as get some lessons from his brother beforehand!!)  Or JSOS to half back and DeKoning as the 3rd tall up forward, assisting in the ruck!!

I think Mirkov has to come in. We've been well beaten in the ruck for some weeks now, no matter how de Koning and Jack have tried. As a tactic, teams are now aware of it and have taken that into consideration.
I would prefer to have Mirkov learn his trade in the 2's, but we need to do something different, especially against the Dockers who have two strong ruckmen.
The small forward issue is a conundrum indeed. Phelp didn't kick any goals on the weekend, but he did get 20 possessions and wasn't bad. Similarly, Honey managed 4 goals and was dangerous. Both are that bit taller and stronger in the air, which makes our forward line that bit more unpredictable.

You cannot pick a team with a tape measure.
