2018 Rd 14; Pre Game Preparations: Carlton vs Collingwood

[hanwell]

I have been very tolerant of this young side and BB. But if I see anything less than a feral, 4 quarter effort from the 22 wearing the navy blue jumper this week, "I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger".

"I'll spew"

I'm thinking we might be going smaller this week.

From the bench 3 smaller types, Lang, Garlett and Kennedy, plus one of Casboult or Kerr I reckon will be picked. Casboult might still be getting fitness, so may or may not play NB's, and Kerr has been ok in the 3 games for a 19yo kid.

Reckon Kerr might pay for the Kruezer pass.....Grundy smashed us last time we played them, reckon Philips might play too.
Think you are right on the smalls...Collingwood has one of the best and deepest midfields going around, we just couldnt contain all of them especially Sidebottom who carved up Ed like a Sunday roast.
Lang and Kennedy need to deliver this week and give Cripps support......

Last time Grundy hurt us even though Kreuzer did quite well around the ground. We really need a 2nd ruck option. Where we get it or not, is another question.
It is likely that a tall forward might miss out, Casboult did nothing last week, but will be better for the run. Kerr needs to find his confidence in his kicking again. And all it is, is confidence. He'll be fine when he believes!
Last time we also didn't respect Sidebottom enough: we need to squash him. It doesn't look likely, but we must.

I'm surprised that Mullet is named in the 18.

Kreuzer had a good night last time against Collingwood. Possessions pretty even, Kreuzer got 23, similar marks, hitouts overall the same, we won the clearances, and Kreuzer kicked a goal. Don't need Phillips.

[kruddler]

Phillips Casboult Kreuzer and Kerr in the same team makes me think that Kreuzer is under an injury cloud.

[Professer E]

After last week's utterly putrid effort Lamb surely can't get another gig?!?

We need to go smaller this week, horses for courses selections.

Kerridge....injured or dropped,  don't care,  was putrid and had to pony up for that performance.
