Pre game Banter: AFL 2020 Rd 14: Carlton vs Collingwood

[ElwoodBlues1]

I'd beg to differ on the filth's defence.

Last week against North:

[25] Jack Crisp, 147 games, ok. 190cm, 90kg
[23] Jordan Roughead, 200cm, doesn't do much. last legs?
[44] Jack Madgen 27yo, 15 games, ex basketballer. 192cm, 98kg.
FB
[37] Brayden Maynard, solid player, 110 games. 189cm, 90kg.
[30] Darcy Moore, 203cm, will take Harry?
[9] John Noble 16 games. 180cm, 72kg,

Noble on Betts presumably? Who gets Martin?

No one is slippery enough, not even close, to go with Martin from that group. I'll guess they'll try Maynard.

Or Gibbo?

If we use H, Levi and TDK up forward - all three are very good marks. Who takes our 3rd tall? Madgen?

Good luck with that.

We had them last year at the G before a bit of composure and the rotten umpires intervened....they were flying then too.

This year, we've a better team on the park (inclusions like Jones, Martin, Doc, Pitto, TDK, Newnes, Betts and likely, Kennedy)

From their line up in 2019, they'll be missing Howe, JdeG, Treloar, Stephenson and Sidebottom but gain Adams.

So they're down two critical mids, their main driver off HB (and intercept marker) in Howe and de Goey.

Maynard is a good footballer and be happy to have him our list, played on Greene from GWS in last years finals and toweled him up...he is a genuine tough player and any of our blokes playing on him are in for a hard game.
I think they might play Varcoe on Martin...they have used the latter down back a few times this season and he teams well with Crisp who is his best mate.
Greenwood is a thug so I'd expect him to tag someone and try on the rough stuff, one of the mistakes we have made with Collingwood before is to let Pendlebury run loose playing off Cripps, thats a real dangerous practice IMO and I would have Curnow on him the whole game. Pies will probably bring Wills into the team to replicate the Jack Steele type game on Cripps.
I'm expecting Eddie to have a big game along with Martin who needs to kick a bit straighter, reckon Levi can kick a few this week too with Moore occupied with Harry.
