VFL 2023 Rd 5 Carlton vs Sandringham at Carlton

[crashlander]

The game starts at 11:05, so it will be well over by the time the senior game begins at Marvel.

Nothing yet as to who will play on Sunday morning.
However, Boyd, Martin and Cottrell could all play.

It’s on soon. To watch it, Google VFL Fixtures, click on the link to the afl.com.au page and then navigate with another couple of clicks to the match centre. The watch video button appears when the time is nigh.

Only Jordan Boyd is currently listed in the team. Martin and Cottrell aren’t.

Apparently, Plowman is the only emergency playing today. Lemmey and Mirkov are out.

[Mav]

So, what are we to make of TdK, Kemp & LOB sitting out? Either there are a couple of withdrawals to the selected senior side or we’re trying to play ducks & drakes with the opposition over the identity of the sub.

I guess at least 2 of the emergencies would have to be held back in case there’s an injury in the warm-up.

None of the 1st choice VFL rucks playing, Sam Durdin a late withdrawal, sounds like some late AFL changes coming.

Sandy 4pts up at qtr time.

Good to see Carroll playing well. Bit of a skeleton crew in the Magoos.

[LP]

Undermanned squad, but Dow and Fogarty look the best of the available options, I have to say Dow looks much better playing out of the Back Pocket.

Hard to understand why in the absence of Owies that Fogarty can't get a run in the AFL.

Tall Durds also not playing in the Magoos... I wonder who hasn't come up? Blacres?

It’s not too hard to imagine flu ripping through the VFL team. Fortunately, the VFL & AFL teams are reasonably separate.
