Pre-Game Prattle: AFL Rd 10: Carlton vs St Kilda at Marvel

[Woodstock]

Bolton just said Kennedy is playing Sunday.

Bloody fantastic. A because we need a big body in there who has proven can play and b, because with a rumour that Bolts is stubborn, it means change in personnel is possible.

Good. I've been waiting to see him in action.

I have only just seen the team selections for this weekend and to be brutally honest, I'm starting to get very worried about the thought processes within the Match Committee.

We get thumped by 93-points in an insipid & woeful manner yet there are only two changes to the team ??

Furthermore, Charlie Curnow has been coasting all year whilst Pat Kerr, who I don't think will make the grade, kicks six in the seconds last week but cannot crack it for a senior game. What happened to rewarding performance and punishing non efforts ??

If your place in the team isn't under pressure following the mother of all shellackings then will it ever be ??

Our midfield was non-existent last week with a bevy of passengers whilst Lang, who is AFL ready body-wise had 28 touches yet isn't selected.

Our young players were outbodied & bullied by the bigger GWS guys but Kennedy still plays in the seconds.

FMD, what the hell is going on here ??

We are our own worst enemies !!

Just checked the club website and the team selections have been altered :

In: Simpson, Cuningham, Fasolo, Kennedy, Kerr, Plowman
Out: Murphy (ribs), O'Brien

Thank god some sense has prevailed but with only two players named as out I'm still sceptical about what may happen.

I think with those selections and what we’ve heard to date, that the Team will throw the kitchen sink at the Saints come Sunday. There’s personal pride at stake. The real questions are, will we Win and how will the players sustain that effort over the coming weeks, no matter the outcomes of each game. It’ll either make or break a few people at the Club.

Bolton just said Kennedy is playing Sunday.

So we will see whether the MC have been right or wrong with his non selection thus far. If he is another passenger, he can stay in the NBs as far as I'm concerned. He is 22 and been in the AFL system long enough, time to deliver (and not with Polson or LOB type stats)

It'll be very interesting to see our midfield tactics now, in my opinion with a more experienced starting midfield this is a line in the sand game for midfield coach Barker!

btw., I don't think the Aints are as bad as people make out, and Marvel suits them!

There is a definite 'need for speed' so, if fit, Cuningham is a cert, Kennedy is a lock, Stoker deserves another go and Plowman as the rotating backman.  Emergencies Fasolo, Kerr and Setterfield  Macreadie in the twos.

Pure speculation.

I think we should pick Kerr.
Casboult should have a spell, until his physicality is at AFL level
