Pre game postulations: AFL 2021 Rd 9: Carlton vs Melbourne

Nathan Jones has played some good games against us but I'd say he's the least of our worries......................

Agree. He's been dropped once or twice already this season.

Nathan Jones has played some good games against us but I'd say he's the least of our worries. Might be the time this week to keep Levi in the side and play him back....he did it a couple of seasons ago I think when Jones was injured and did okay. Either that or Parks will have to play on probably McDonald which will be a huge ask for a guy playing in about his 5th game of footy.

Fair point Surfie although I think they will persist with Parks down back but he is going to be giving away size and experience if its him vs either of McDonald, Brown or Weidemann. Fritsch and Pickett wont be much fun either for ever plays on them...best way is to keep the ball down our end more. I'd be keeping Levi in the team as insurance to play down back or cover if TDK gets injured.
Harry on May will be an interesting dual.....Harry has the cm but May has the sharper elbows..

[Professer E]

He's another that is due some payback.

Dees midfield is possibly more dominant than the dogs midfield. Considering they embarrassed us last week, every solid, hard working player we can get out of the dees midfield can only help us. Yes, he's not as good as he once was, but he'd be better than whatever replacement they can muster.

May slipped a nice elbow on Buddy recently, it glanced off his shoulder and into his head but May managed to make it look innocent enough but when its a bloke like May its never an accident. Worst May carnage I saw was when he ran through Stefan Martin who is a decent lump of a bloke but caught him flush and left him knocked out cold like he got hit by a truck. See below some of Mays finest work...

Fritsch is a really dangerous player and not sure we have an ideal match up for him.....probably Plowman? Saad isn't a lockdown defender and neither is Docherty really. As for Pickett.....again, hard to find a match up for him.....probably Stocker.

Fritsch is a strong mark for his size and Plowman would probably have to take him.....I'd put Saad on Pickett

Club would naturally deny it. Can't admit to playing a player with a back fracture.

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

SPS for that job and maybe Stocker at times...

SPS might work, think Pickett would be too quick for Stocker.
