Rd 10: Pre Game Premonitions: Carlton vs Geelong

[Mondy]

My only change would be to drop White and bring in Jaksch.  Play Rowe down back where he's comfortable and only has to deal with his man.  Get Jones or Jaksch to pinch hit for Gorringe. 

[ElwoodBlues1]

In Wood, Jaksch, Graham

Out Cripps(rested), Everitt, Walker

Cant allow Harry Taylor, Henderson and Lonergan to do what the Nth tall backs did and take uncontested marks especially when we go the long bomb......we need three talls down in the front half ie Jones, Jaksch and Gorringe to compete and give our crumbers some chance...

White and Plowman did ok down back on Petrie, Waite, Brown..I'd be leaving White in....

Someone has to do a better job on Motlop than we did on Lindsay Thomas and Harvey...

[Professer E]

I'm worried about Cripps' longevity.  Rest him.

Danger, the Ducker and the Diver will have field days vs us next week, expecting 15 goal loss.  Cripps being absent won't matter squat. 

Oh and expect that mob of posers to be talked about re the flag again next week...  Don't you have to beat decent sides to be a contender?

[ElwoodBlues1]

I think I know why GC let Gorringe go, he is too timid. For a 200cm and 100kg big man, he doesnt impose himself one iota. I saw this during the NAB games, nothing has changed.

Same height as Goldstein but looked 20kg lighter and it was man vs boy stuff......I thought Gorringe got given a rough deal by Bolton with no Wood in the team and he showed some ability albeit
not in the ruck..lets play him down forward to replace the Boult and just give him some light ruck duties..

Everitt was awful last night but I'd still play him because he can kick three or four.

[Gointocarlton]

He has the look of a bloke that lacks self-belief...if anyone can get the best out of him it will be someone like Bolton.
I wouldn't wipe him yet.
He has the size, and a bit of athleticism.

I'd like to see how he goes  when he's not shouldering a big burden like last night.

Fair enough, could he play a high fwd/big mid role I wonder? Let him run up and down the wing abit if he has such a big tank.

[pinot]

Agree with giving Cripps a rest. But if he is good to play he should play Ed Curnow wasn't much chop last night Crippa needs him abit.

[Thryleon]

You don't drop Everitt again as you risk blowing his trade value.

[Jack Burton]

Everitt has no trade value, we are his last club

[Thryleon]

He has a future in AFL is a good size and a straight kick but his Carlton career is over and buyers will want him.
