Pre game postulations: AFL 2021 Rd 4: Carlton vs Gold Coast on the Gold Coast

[Thryleon]

Without wanting to seem callous, but, if he's that injured why the hell is he playing? It's obviously affecting his contribution - which can only also knock his confidence for six. Surely it'd be better for him to have time off to heal any injury? I have no doubts that Meat is blue through and through but that's not the issue... the issue is can he contribute to a level that helps the team and his own confidence? I realise the most logical argument against what I am saying is that there aint too many 200cm blokes in our side who can also go into the ruck... but is the trade off working? Is it costing us in other ways?

I would have played omac in his stead last week.  Ironically we are short talks to drop him and if his output is poor but still frees up Harry its a win.

Kennedy should be next in.  A big bodied medium lead up forward is almost as good a decoy.
