Pre Game Preparations: AFL 2021 R3 Carlton vs Fremantle at Marvel

[Baggers]

Can we name 22 players who get in the 22 on merit?

I reckon we are a few short of that 22 at the moment.

Impossible to answer as a few who are shining in the Magoos are not being given a chance at senior level. Still the most conservative club in the competition at the selection table... form means nought next to reputation or perceived 'balance'.

At present, I reckon, based on form, we're sending out, about, our best 18 each week. Casboult & Willo were embarrassing against Rottingwood... and that's just for starters. Then you have to account for the fact that we regularly play 2-3 blokes out of position... so now we're down to a 'stable' 15 or so... then there's no defensive pressure... then there's the playing blokes on reputation not form (come on down Murphy & Co.), now we're down to a 'stable' 13 or so... oh dear, I picked a bad week to give up amphetamines (with thanks to Lloyd Bridges).
