AFL Rd 3 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn

[DJC]

I think Young comes in if McDonald is out.

Cerra a certainty but not so sure on Martin. I doubt we'd drop Fisher and Owies and bring in more mid-size forwards. I think Owies and Durdin are working well together and offer plenty of ground ball pressure.

Newman was terrible in the last quarter so could make way for Plowman.

Think I read somewhere that Wingard is out for a few weeks with a hamstring.

Assuming McDonald is fit I'd say maybe just Cerra in for Fogarty and possibly Plowman for Newman. If Martin comes in, probably at the expense of Setterfield.

If Martin comes in, and I think he will, it will be at the expense of Fisher, Owies or Durdin, in that order.  Setterfield played his role quite well and the competition for his spot will be from Williamson, Newnes and perhaps Dow.

Not a chance Fisher is going out.

I'm not so confident about Setterfield. His fumbling hands are still a worry... turnover material.

Martin for Fogarty seems certain. Cerra for Setterfield, with either Cerra or Walsh taking up his position.

Hopefully OMac recovers from his back spasm. If not, Lewis Y. seems a logical replacement.

McDonald is out so will it be Young or Plowman?

McEvoy has been ineffective as a forward but he would stretch all but Weitering and Young, or does de Koning get a defensive role?

Can the Dawks afford to sit Big Boy in the F50 given our height across the field, I suspect this week you might find a reversal of roles with perhaps Reeves floating forward and McEvoy doing more ruck work? Not sure Reeves or McEvoy are harder opponents than English at the moment, the media had English as the Dog's best, but I thought we nullified his effects in the centre and really if not for hitting the scoreboard he had an ordinary game in that we let him have little influence, no coaches gave him a vote, yet our rucks got no vote as well.

Last week Port basically had more play, more inside F50s, but had no way to score with a horrendous scoring efficiency, we are almost the exact opposite in that we have not much better efficiency but when we get a scoring attempt we convert, we will need to keep converting efficiently.

Word is Young will debut for the Blues this week.

[Mav]

The AFL site has a report that Chad Wingard is available for selection as is Will Day, a 189 cm defender, who did well in the VFL on the weekend & ruckman Max Lynch after missing 2 games with concussion. Jarman Impey is coming back via the VFL this week.

[DJC]

Not a chance Fisher is going out.

Why?

Everyone else is accountable when they play poorly.

[DJC]

Plowman on a dangerous fwd is coaching suicide. He has does silly stuff 1 on 1, oppo know it a play through his man.

Yet Vossy was full of praise for Plowman's efforts when he was subbed into the game.  Besides, our defence is dramatically different this season and the days of Plowman and others playing back shoulder are gone.

We shall see.
