Rd 12: Pre game Prophecies: Carlton vs St. Kilda

[cookie2]

For mine Grahame would be an OUT. Anyone else would be stiff, unless not 100% fit.

I'm guessing on form that Armfield is a dead cert.

To play or be dropped?

[Rational_Expectations]

The only player named on the bench that could possibly be dropped is Graham.

If so, one of Silvagni and Sumner come in. On principle, Sumner should play, but blooding SOSOS may be too tempting.

Armfield becomes the games record holder for the club in number 27 next senior match.

I expect that will happen this week.

Agree 100% re Armfield. Last two weeks could be the best he's ever played, same with Simon White, no way either of those will miss out unless theyre really sore. Gorringe showed a bit last week, albeit against ordinary opposition, but I think he'll get plenty of games for the rest of the year to see how he develops, could be anything. And Byrne is a keeper, just need to get him to 50 games and then watch out, no way he'll be dropped if he's fit. Graham on the other hand looked out of his depth on the weekend, I know its difficult stepping up in class when you've spent weeks in the VFL, but if someone has to make way, he's the one for me

I thought Graham was OK.  I don't think that you can expect him to accumulate possessions like Murphy would but he did get three clearances and made 7 tackles.

Dropping Graham would mean that the part time midfielders would have to spend more time in the midfield.

Sumner is in RE, he's not on the bench, in the actual side so his is an in more than likely.

Sumner is named in the 18 and that usually means he will play.

Play mate. Along with Simmo, Army is another "heart and soul of the club" type player ATM.

In that case I can't see Silvagni playing unless someone withdraws through injury.

Agree, as you know I just don't rate him so for me? Any excuse at all to drop him will do.
