2017 Rd 9; Pre Game Preparations: Carlton vs Fremantle

[shadesy]

Jones has been dominate down back and in the Ruck for the NB's (so i hear). Great stuff from him.

But where does he fit in the Senior Side? Marchbank, Plowman, Rowe and ASOS are all locks. White is the one in trouble maybe, be plays a more of a floating role on talls and smalls, which i don't think Jones can do.

If White went out I would be putting Weiters back to get some confidence up again, hence would have to play Liam forward which i wouldn't do.

I'd rest Weitering, the rest is up to the coaches!

Super form line continues........ 13 disposals. Says it all. It's the same old problem for Jones. He's always struggled to get more than about 10 possessions in a game. He had a game the other week where he had about 20 which was amazing but he's reverted back to type.

17 games for Carlton - double digits possies 3 times only.

I hate to be negative on a guy who has some ability but I'd still rather see McKay / Kerr / Korcheck / Phillips play an AFL game.

McKay/Kerr yes, Korchek/Phillips no.

Weits and Jack not far off to be leading club goal kicking award why rest him

He's been such a warrior for us, White, but it is logical for him to be the only out, especially with the inclusion of the quicker and cleaner ACOS. Can't really have White and ACOS at the same time in the seniors now.

Of the 7 interchange blokes named I reckon Daisy is the only definite.

You'd think that Liam Jones would be the logical replacement for White.

You could also mount a case for either Boekhorst (WA boy) or Cuningham replacing Graham due to their speed over the grass on the big Subiaco ground.

Interesting that two WA boys have been included (Boekhorst and Den Den)... Favour for Den Den so he visit the family... and be the emergency?

Hard to see both Willo and Jones being on the bench... one will be down back for the NBs on Saturday (or maybe White fills the vacancy down back in the NBs?)

Be really interesting to see the final side tomorrow at 5. And to see who runs out for the NBs on Saturday.

If White is out then I suspect Liam may well be in.

I reckon both Daisy and Graham will be included - Graham was OK v. the Saints IMO and his disposal seems to have improved markedly. It was his lovely kick to set up Cripps before he decided to trip over himself.

Be interesting to see who the other one is.

Int: Nick Graham, Dale Thomas, Tom Williamson, Dennis Armfield, Liam Jones, Blaine Boekhorst, David Cuningham (Three to be omitted)

In: Dennis Armfield, Liam Jones, Blaine Boekhorst, David Cuningham.

Out: Simon White (Omitted)

With the game being late on Sunday, all 3 emergencies will travel to Perth. That will be, and should be, seen for what it is: a reward for effort for some of these guys. I don't think Dennis will play, but any of the others could. I guess we'll find out on Saturday morning. But I really expect all 3 emergencies to miss the VFL.

Fremantle

I like the "ins" whilst Jones and Army are both almost certainly gone at the end of the year, from all reports (Jones in particular), they have earned a chance.

Rumour is Jones is close to getting another contract based on current VFL form alone.
