AFL Rd 6 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Fremantle

[ElwoodBlues1]

As much as Silvagni gives his all, not sure we can ask him to go up against Lobb. TDK probably needs to play this week, irrespective of his VFL form on the weekend.

One thing we need is a bit of pace....watching that Freo game, they were very quick on the outside and it's not an area we're overly blessed with. IMO, I'd have Dow in the team this week and play him off a wing even if Cripps comes back in. Setterfield needs to be dropped...forget the stats, he's not contributing at all and lost count of the number of panic handballs he made to a team mate under more pressure.

I'm not sold on Parks at this stage. Young was good in his first game for us but has looked very shaky in recent weeks. He's good for the spoil in a contest but that's about it when the ball hits the ground...too many panic decisions.

Maybe Fisher and Dow on the wings? I thought Sunday was probably Fish's best game this year and he used the ball really well.

Cottrell lacks nothing in endeavour but his disposal lets him down but I thought he was pretty good in the latter stages. Newnes....hmm...not sold on him either. I think we can do better and he's not the future.

I'm a fan of Dow on the wing, agree on Setterfield and Parks.
Cottrell was ok and gives you effort and I thought was good when the game was on the line. Not the future but a steady Indian until we get a few others up to speed like Honey, Carroll, Philp.....
