AFL Rd 19 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS

[kruddler]

For me it would be Cottrell, Fisher, Stocker and Dow, with Plowman the sub.

I think the MC will go with Cottrell, Fisher, Plowman and Newnes, with Honey the sub.

If Newnes ends up being the sub, then its basically what i thought the MC would do.

However, my preference, which is in line with most peoples, seems to be at odds with the MCs.
Most obvious reason for this is that Stocker and Dow seem to have their papers stamped.

I thought Newman was our third best player last week behind Walsh and Curnow.

Saad makes a few clangers but he takes way more risks than the other defenders to help open teams up.

I said similar re Newman.

Of all the weeks for people to start taking aim at him, last week wasn't it....he was one of our better players.

That being said, at the start of the year i suggested he was one that would potentially be pushed out of the side this year.
Given Williams (and Marchbank) are still on the injury/recovery list....i maintain that view.

I suspect Newman and Stocker have some injury issue, because neither deserved an out!

They wouldn't write omitted if they were injured.

Newman isn't an out.
Newnes is.

I reckon Stocker is still young and developing his game. I am not worried about his future he is AFL quality when he plays. He is coming out of contract and will take something very good to get the deal over the line. Paddy is as good as gone and reckon a late 2nd rounder/ early third rounder pick 30-40 I will be ok with that. Stocker 15-25 I reckon if it gets to that point. Not a bad draft to be involved in btw.

They would probably be worth about what we got for SPS.

Dow is contracted for 23? If so, that a whole different ball game.

If we don’t see him as a senior player, wouldn’t we be happy to move him on to free up a spot and get some salary cap relief (assuming he’s on more than minimum chips in ‘23)? Unless there are 2 or more suitors, whoever wants him could just offer some late picks. Keeping a disillusioned player might not be an option.
