AFL Finals 2024 Carlton vs Brisbane in Brisbane

[RiverRat]

Durdin seems to represent a greater risk than those returning from injury; he is only one hard tackle away from another shoulder dislocation.

I would prefer Cincotta as a forward or even as the substitute as he is just as fast, built like a tank, a better kick and capable of contributing in many more ways.

I sort of understand Durdin, Fantasia and to some degree Cottrell when he was available.

Because much of what they do is running to the right spaces to force opposition into patterns and locations that allow Cripps, Hewett, Cerra, Walsh and Kennedy to remain in the contest for the footy. As such they don't need to be getting a lot of footy to have an impact on the result, they just need to get to the right location in a timely manner.

So you prefer to take Moir, with less than 60 mins of AFL experience, into a cut throat final at the Gabba than Cerra? Think about what you write sometimes.

moir no.  But look at the cats. They dropped tuohy and played a vfl player chomping at the bit.  Did a job and did it well.

Dropped? He was the sub. If we did that there'd be blood on here saying we are gifting games. 2E is finished, shouldn't be playing.

No one in the football world is giving us a chance, and rightly so IMO. I think we need to be realistic. We stumbled into finals on the back of many weeks of average form. We've had several injuries, and for this game lots of changes and question marks over the players selected, against a team who rarely loses on their home deck. None of which suggest a win IMO.

I don’t think many in the football world gave the Cats a chance.

If we play our best footy, we should win. 

Brisbane has lost two of its last three games, one of which was at the Gabba.  They are flaky, the goal kicking by their key players has been atrocious and they are gettable!

Pressure around the ground - manic-like.
Then pressure on the score board.
Should do the trick.

he's no where near finished even though hes retiring this year.  Past his best but he's played alright this season but the point I was making is:

That irrespective of where you see them they brought in mannagh and he starred.  Him vs tuohy one has runs on the board the other is a mature age vfl recruit.

That's us playing orazio as sub, and starting cincotta imho (but I'd be leaving durdin out).

Either way I'm anticipating that the 3 emergencies all come in and cerra and tdk don't get up for this one either small durdin also missing.

Looks cooked to me

Looks cooked to me

The bloke is 34, he's closer to the end than the beginning.

In fairness to him, without forgiving the dog act of jogging on past as a team-mate is being pummelled by opponents, he has had a few injuries in 2024.

[Professer E]

Looked after no 1 at all times that bloke
