AFL Elimination Final 1 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney

Harry will get less opportunities but can still be useful in dragging players away from Charlie and being productive up the ground. I wasnt disappointed in his work when played as the second ruck vs GWS mainly for his ability to get involved in general play rather than his ruckwork which was about as good as the opposing novice second ruck in Keefe in which they both cancelled each other out.
Saying all that the Swans are very undersized down back and Id expect Harry to spend his time down forward this week and his big height advantage should have him prominent and in the goals given he should get less attention than Charlie who will probably be double teamed.

Tactic vs Swans?
Leave Harry in the goal square. Get Charlie up the ground. Bomb it on Harrys head and ensure you have Owies/Motlop/Martin etc at his feet. Chances are Harry will take more marks than he drops, but i doubt he'll be outmarked.

Dont mind Harry playing from the square as long as Charlie is a way up the ground and both are not flying together.
Harry needs to hold his marks at the MCG given its a bigger ground and defenders from both teams will have more space to work in rebounding the ball and given the Swans lack height they will be looking to punish every dropped mark or intercept they create and run off players like Harry trying to get an advantage...see Nick Blakey.

If we bomb it in F50 we'll be flogged....delivery into F50 has been the second most important factor in turning the year around.  The bomb to Harry is an option, but the little blokes must be ready for those crumbs.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Our selections over the coming (hopefully) weeks is going to be interesting. Cincotta, Fogerty, Dow, Fisher, Durdin may not be in our best 22, but if required, have a major advantage over Kennedy, Boyd, even Cowan and Binns......recent, genuine match practice. I just can't see how you could consider Kennedy or Boyd in a final without a decent hit out under their belt. That deplorable effort by the Twos has killed off a number of players' chances of breaking back into the side.
