AFL Rd 17 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS

[townsendcalling]

I would say Cottrell as the sub and Hewett in if Kennedy doesn't come up 100%, which still has to be a possibility.

[DJC]

We must be going OK if Georgie can't get a game!

[madbluboy]

Kennedy won't play.

[pertz]

In: T.De Koning, M.Cottrell
Out: M.Pittonet (omitted), G.Hewett (omitted)

Last week's sub: George Hewett

Happy with the team.
Chugga gone from multi weeks out to still in ?

Dont get the Hewett omission, one of the better ball using mids and decision makers we have. Can go fwd and kicks straight.

[Lods]

Kennedy won't play.

I don't think he will and Hewett will come in.

But then again, using logic I learnt from Vizzini the Sicilian in the "Princess Bride."

That's exactly what GWS will be thinking....that Kennedy will miss and Hewett will come in.

So, they'll prepare for Hewett.

On the other hand GWS will know that is what we think they will believe and we'll actually play Kennedy.

So they'll prepare for Kennedy.

But many of us suspect that the Kennedy recovery is too quick.
So GWS better be ready for Hewett.

Our line-up:

B:  [17] Brodie Kemp,  [23] Jacob Weitering,  [37] Jordan Boyd
HB:  [42] Adam Saad,  [11] Mitch McGovern,  [24] Nic Newman
C:  [4] Oliver Hollands,  [9] Patrick Cripps,  [13] Blake Acres
HF:  [7] Matthew Kennedy,  [10] Harry McKay,  [6] Zac Williams
F:  [20] Elijah Hollands,  [30] Charlie Curnow,  [8] Lachie Fogarty
R:  [12] Tom De Koning,  [18] Sam Walsh,  [5] Adam Cerra
Int:  [2] Lachlan Cowan,  [39] Alex Cincotta,  [46] Matthew Cottrell,  [44] Matthew Owies,  [14] Orazio Fantasia

Em:  [29] George Hewett,  [27] Marc Pittonet,  [22] Caleb Marchbank

[1] Good as he has been this year, I would have brought Cottrell back via the VFL. After a long break, he needs miles in his legs.
[2] I would have played Pitto, but ...
[3] George is stiff, but he probably should play. I would have rested Kennedy, as I would prefer him to be 100% when we need him.
[4] Spots in our team are hard to get at the moment. Ollie Hollands has been quiet of late, and must be under some pressure. Hard to drop Fantasia after 4 goals. Owies is a little out of touch at the moment; he dropped a couple of chest marks last week which could have been critical. But he still has be out of form for much longer to get dropped after his efforts so far.
[5] I'm not sure Charlie is 100% at the moment, but he keeps kicking goals ...
[6] The 2's should be better this week. There will actually be some leadership out there, something we've lacked badly this year. It also means the our midfield might be just a tad more reliable.

As you wish

At which time our MC play Pitto and Kennedy and Ollie miss out, GWS never saw it coming. ;D

I'd be betting on dual rucks to be honest. 

Keep them truly guessing and play without both Kennedy and Hewett playing cincotta through the middle.
