AFL Rd 1 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond
Pittonet may be the 23rd man...tactical????
Seems strange if he's fit he's not in the starting lineup.
If we want to play ducks and drakes, forcing the Tigers to play “will they play both ruckmen” given that they’ve lost their 2nd ruck is the way to do it.
Ed Curnow pretty lucky to get a spot based on the two practice games IMO.
On Ch 7, Ross Lyon gloated that they signed up Camonetti from Carlton’s VFL after JSOS told SOS that he did really well playing on Weitering. Flog.

Wasn't Motlop in doubt?

Yep he's a flog, but he's probably thinking ....it's a good way to cause a bit of friction in an opposition club.
Jack won't be happy, he'll probably get some 'advice' from management.
Not sure his dad will be happy with him being thrown under the bus, so it may backfire on 'Ross the flog'

It is strange, but he was returning from injury so maybe he just needs another week under his belt.

I wouldn't be playing him as sub. It handicaps us too much if we get an injury.

In an ideal world you don't get injuries, and you sub off a player for tactical reasons.
But we are Carlton, so an injury is almost certain, so pick a bloke that can cover a variety of spots.

Scans cleared him of a calf tear apparently.
“Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?”  Oddball
Tigers have picked a strong team..can't believe all those injury hit players will play.
Miller is one I thought they might play being their tallest defender...

Agree, but the Curnow Snr selection is a little baffling. Owies would want to do a whole lot more than the PS games and the way he finished of his year in 2022
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
