Rd 11: Pre Game Patter: Carlton vs Brisbane

[DJC]

Footage i saw (from a bar on level 2 at Etihad) he was doing zigzags!  :o

Are you sure that wasn't a product of what you were consuming in the bar?

I think you're right though - just not very fast zigzags

And hopefully not zigging when he should have been zagging?  :o

Byrne's inclusion is a no-brainer and selecting Graham to replace Murphy wouldn't have required too much thought.

It's good to see that Gorringe has another chance to show what he can do.  I wasn't all that impressed with his pre-season form and he had a torrid time against Goldstein but I thought he showed a bit last week.  I don't think he will ever be a genuine ruck prospect but I like the idea of a 200cm midfielder

No surprises there.

Carlton

B: Zach Tuohy, Sam Rowe, Jacob Weitering.
HB: Dale Thomas, Lachie Plowman, Simon White.
C: Sam Docherty, Patrick Cripps, Ed Curnow.
HF: Jed Lamb, Levi Casboult, Matthew Wright.
F: Sam Kerridge, Andrew Walker, Andrejs Everitt.
Foll: Matthew Kreuzer, Nick Graham, Bryce Gibbs.
Int: Ciaran Byrne, Daniel Gorringe, Kade Simpson, Dennis Armfield.

Emg: Andrew Phillips, Kristian Jaksch, Jason Tutt

I like the Emergencies. All 3. Phillips is fit: a big plus. Jaksch is getting close and Tutt is doing his best.
As for the team, I don't think it is perfect, by any means. Neither Walker nor Everitt have been able to play 2 good ones on the trot for quite a while. However, they were good last week, so maybe I'm just stuck with a dose of the Malthouses. I still see structural problems, but last week I was proved to be an idiot.

Brisbane Lions

B: Ryan Harwood, Daniel Merrett, Jackson Paine.
HB: Daniel Rich, Daniel McStay, Sam Mayes.
C: Tom Rockliff, Allen Christensen, Tom Bell.
HF: Pearce Hanley, Lewis Taylor, Nick Robertson.
F: Trent West, Josh Schache, Ryan Bastinac.
Foll: Stefan Martin, Dayne Zorko, Mitch Robinson.
Int: Ben Keays, Jarrad Jansen, Tom Cutler, Jonathan Freeman .

Emg: Claye Beams, Josh Clayton, Rhys Mathieson

Brisbane look quite reasonable on paper, if a little small. McStay played well against us last year, picking goals and marking well as a forward. He's in defence. Stefan Martin has dined out on our ruckmen in recent times. Robinson hasn't had a bad one against us yet. ( ) Tom Bell kicked 4 goals last week. They beat us twice last year when we looked to be better and in better form. I really hated that.

I doubt there are two Smurfs in the vicinity!

I played cricket against his brother - they do look similar...

Just a piece of trivia that doesn't deserve its own thread: on Marngrook Footy Show, Adam Treloar said he was a Carlton fan and his faves were Kouta and Juddy.
