Pre game postulations: AFL 2019 Rd 18: Carlton vs Gold Coast at Marvel

Josh Deluca to debut.

Dow out with illness.

Good luck to young Josh.

Deluca started in WA as a small forward. I can recall seeing him play in the WAFL (Back in the days of the ABC having access to the State Leagues). He isn't slow, but he isn't express. His kicking was very good (hopefully Freo didn't wreck that) and he could make a goal out of not much. Then again, that was some years ago now.

Crash...he had a very good year in the WAFL here last year. He might play a similar role to Gibbons....part time in the midfield rotations and then small forward option as well. He's tough and goes hard at it too....looking forward to seeing him play.

I have no doubt he can play, but in fairness to him the first game with a new bunch of blokes, we probably should not expect too much!

Bit concerned about the highlights package for Josh Deluca, he seems to be hitting his targets. I am sure that is against our team rules.

Current odds show CFC $1.23, GC $4.20. Can't remember the last time that happened.

I heard a few stats the other day.

Last time we were favourites was something like 18 months ago.

Last time we won as favourites was 1141+ days ago.

Not only are we favourites for this game, we have the shortest odds of any game this week!  :o

Gotta get used to it sometime.

Agree Surfie.. think he will play forward more with the odd run on the ball to start with....good player IMO and I expect him to do ok and hold his place, can hit a target and play the outside role too.

If we win today we go ahead in the Stocker deal.
