AFL Rd 5 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[LP]

Interesting final squad Newnes, Cottrell rewarded, De Koning, Plowman, O'Brien out, Setterfield and Martin survive..... yes interesting.

Not surprise TDK gets a rest, he's looked a bit off pace since Rnd 1, I presume LoB is injured.

Only surprise for me is Newnes, he's been collecting kms and possessions at VFL level without looking influential, I'm always wary of seasoned AFL players doing just what is needed at VFL, Lang used to be one like that.

Dow has been dominating at VFL, so a natural swap for Cripps, and Cottrell runs at another level so maybe Cottrell is a natural swap for LoB.

Fogarty swapped out for Durdin was a no brainer.

Only issue I see, we've lost a couple of fairly good ball users, and not much to impress by foot has come in, in fact I'd say disposal won't be a feature this week! Might be a long game for BigH, Charlie and SoJ.
