AFL Rd 6 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Fremantle

[LP]

I agree that we have to play two rucks against Freo but is De Koning up to contesting against Darcy and Lobb?

Doesn't have to be, he just needs to compete and make sure they don't get any respite, if not they will remain too fresh and dominate as the game goes on, especially given Taberner will also do some F50 stoppage work.

CheatsFC went in with three rucks and did OK but got smashed everywhere else, however Philips did a hammy in the 1st Qtr and it's after that when Freo launched so it may be a tell! I think it's a mistake trying to make TDK go head top head physically, his best gig at the moment is getting in the possession chain and on his bike to cover as much ground as possible and make himself a marking target.

If Cripps is out, we'll also have to come up with something to curtail Mundy who compliments Brodie and Serong nicely.

One thing I'd like to see is not having too many tals inside F50 at once, so primarily I'd want SoJ and TDK in the back 2/3rds of the ground and only push forward if BigH or Charlie are off or pushing up the ground themselves. We've got some reasonable users in the midfield and HBF flank now, we need to make better use of occasional smaller targets to mix things up.
