AFL Rd 8 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane

[shawny]

Cameron is express, can't see Newman keeping up with him.

It the lesser of two evils. Its at Marvel so not as much space for Charlie to work it hopefully.

If we pressure them through midfield he wont be as much of a threat.

Would have been nice to have Stocker back this week......

I'd be inclined to give the role to Cowan.
Just tell him to stop Cameron getting a kick and not to worry about his own tally.
Would be a great learning experience.

Cameron will run circles around Cowan potentially confidence crusher that can stifle his development. Nt a fan of throwing youngsters in the deepend at young age unless they are an elite talent. Got Harrys development spot on by keeping him in the two's and Kemp is a better player honing his skills and developing. Dow and LOB have been destroyed and potentially Fisher.
Young was playing VFL for few years until he become a regular at 22-23 which is the right age. Kempy at 21 shining is a sign of a very good talent. No to resting Hollands for mine though - he is that good for a first year player.

Surely Cincotta gets Cameron?

What does Stocker offer that Cincotta doesn't? Even after 2 games I have confidence in Cincotta more so than I had in Stocker. Cleaner with the ball, knows when to take a player on and when not to.... ... and he doesn't kick the ball through the opposition 's goals!!!

Stocker is Ancient History!

Nice start to his career for Cincotta but Cameron is a major step up from the WAFL rubbish that was served up last week.
Reckon we do Cincotta a favour and play him on someone more suitable....

[WASurfer]

I'd have Cincotta pencilled in for McCarthy....another very dangerous "small" forward who's very good overhead for his size. Newman got the job done on Greene earlier in the year so probably gets first shot at Cameron.

Zorko and Rich out for them is a little bonus. Rich gives them a tonne of drive out of the back half and Zorko has torched us a few times in the past.

Cincotta is not a kid though, he's been in and around the system for a long time and would have played on the odd star passing through.

In terms of a match up the cupboard is bare, is for most clubs, so we at least need somebody who can run with Cameron and the best team strategy will be to keep the pill as far away from him as possible.

Maybe let Motlop tag Cameron for a quarter, send him out there with a note book and instructions to watch carefully.

They have a fair amount of fire power so the defenders will have a battle on their hands and the mids must not have repeat of the Adelaide game.
My match ups would be:
Cameron = Saad
McCarthy = Cincotta
Daniher = Weitering
Hipwood =Young
Gunston = Gov/Kemp
Bailey* = Newman
Rayner = Docherty

*IMO opinion after Cameron the most dangerous small forward often hard to contain for 4 qtrs.

Kemp might need to play fwd if there is no match up.

Need to defend as a team ,flood Fitzroy forward line as Coll,saints,Melb DO. I think we can’t back our defenders to beat lions fwds  need a TEAM effort.
