AFL Rd 7 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs West Coast

[shawny]

No, you didn’t read my post properly. We need small defenders to sit on Charlie Cameron and Cam Rayner. About the only thing Stocker can sit on is the pine. If you saw the Saints v Port game, can you tell me who he played on? I watched it closely and I’m pretty sure he was a loose/zone defender. As he was against us (if he was playing on Durdin, maybe you can explain why they were never shoulder to shoulder). But I’m sure that sort of observation conflicts with your need to show he would have been a lockdown defender for us.

Looks like we now have Doc, Saad, Newman, Cowan, Kemp, Gov, Cincotta and Boyd available. The trick is to give the task of shutting down Cameron and Rayner to the right guys. Of course, Saad would be able to play man on man with Charlie, but do we lose too much rebound from him?

Not sure why you keep making Stocker out to be a dud. Yes he looks to have a fitness base that is lacking but he is a tough run straight at the man defender that like him or not has impressed Ross Lyon enough to play him every week. Saints sit 2nd on the ladder and he has played every week in an Important position - the kid is no dud

In regards to this weeks game Rayner will probably get Newman but Cameron is a much harder match up and cameron is impossible to stop
If he gets enough looks and the only hope is to reduce the entries by controlling the game up the field. If Cameron gets enough looks he will carve you up.
