AFL Rd 14 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Gold Coast

[kruddler]

Binns has been named as "NEW" in the AFL teams. Doesn't that usually mean they get on the ground?

Nope.

A couple years ago there was a bloke that was 'new' for about 4 weeks in a row before he actually made his debut.

Extended squads are a killer.

Jack out again doesnt bode well for his future at the club, same boat for Fisher who wasnt recalled.
Im thinking Motlop out needs a small forward replacement......Cuningham plays imho.

[kruddler]

Not really sure how we are (relatively) large favourites for this one, but you can't say we are not due for a win.

That's my Theory...law of averages and the opposition being less daunting especially away from home.
I fear what will happen if we lose....

Looks like Jack is cooked.
Will take a miracle from here.
A little bit of forward of centre connection and we might be in with a chance.
Dont like Doc being named HF....he is a defender or defensive type mid.
Cunners and Martin is the missing piece if they ever find top form.

Agree on Cunningham EB....reckon he plays forward....bit of pace and he can find the goals.

Not sure Doch plays HF.....he'll be middle/half back. Maybe Jack Martin/Kennedy can share the medium size forward roles a bit. And TDK might have to push back a bit this week.....Young might not make the cut but it'll leave us a bit short down back. Kemp might be a good match up for Lukosius.

By the way, how does Newman play, wasn't he listed as  2-4 weeks estimated return?

So was Docherty when he returned.....maybe Saad too (at least there was someone else who did similar)

[townsendcalling]

Kennedy, Cunningham, Dow, Binns 
Pace required Kennedy / Dow midfield rotations , Binns on the wing, Cunners up forward. Doc to be the 7th defender.

For me Newman is a huge inclusion, if he is fit, I'm not sure like a bunch of others that he has been fit for many weeks now.

He's the righthand for Weiters, make no mistake, he is as important to our D50 as any other player, he might not be the fastest, but he's got a footy brain 2nd to none!
