AFL Rd 16 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond

[WASurfer]

Agree on Weitering....which was the one that really stood out on that Champion Data AA team. I think they had Sam Collins as the FB. He's a very good player but Weitering is a class above.

[kruddler]

I think i heard that weitering has been in the AA squad of 40 the last 3-4 years, yet never made the final cut.
This year will be his year.

I have little concern to how the AA team is selected and which one or maybe two players make the cut. I would rather see us have minimal players selected as AA and win a flag. We are second on the ladder and absolutely looking as the second best side in the league. Natural assumptions would be to have multiple players in for AA selection. Maybe we are a well balanced side with few stand outs. I heard a long time ago that a team of champions doesn’t always make a championship team. Balanced efforts across every position holds for a better result. This might be close to the weakest side Richmond will send out on the park against us for quite a few years. Better we not drop our guard in this one. Is Lynch a definite in or out? Limited fire power without him. Less than 6 goal victory to us would actually be disappointing. Let me hope injures are not a consequence of this game. How have we carried the season with more than enough injuries and still stacked up so many wins?

Just watched the Footy Feed segment on the AFL website : Tom Lynch won't play this game (minor hamstring issue), Hopper is back in, and Dusty is 50/50. Yze said Martin will play against the Blues or Freo, but not both.

[PaulP]

Cerra, Marcbank, Motlop and Pittonet in. Durdin out. Zac Williams plays his 150th. Looks like Dusty is in, and also Nankervis' 150th.

Bench, sub and emergencies to come from.
[17] Brodie Kemp,
[7] Matthew Kennedy,
[39] Alex Cincotta,
[14] Orazio Fantasia,
[29] George Hewett,
[22] Caleb Marchbank,
[3] Jesse Motlop,
[27] Marc Pittonet

I'm a fan of Marchbank, but i'm not sure why he appears to be prioritised over Kemp.

IMO....
Bench: Kemp, Motlop, Cincotta, Hewett/Kennedy
Sub: Hewett/Kennedy
EMG: Marchbank, Pittonet, Fantasia

[Baggers]

Cerra for Durdin. Fantasia sub... I's reckons.

Would prefer Motlop sub

[madbluboy]

I think Cerra should be sub. Ease him back.

[pertz]

Would prefer Motlop sub

Agree.
Fantasia will play, he always does regardless of form..
