AFL Rd 20 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Adelaide

[pinot]

Case in point Breust, Rioli and Puopolo causing chaos when Tall forwards were firing. To take the next step with defence and mids so good need small forwards to step it up

[Gointocarlton]

Small forwards are really disappointing and don't see them lifting when the heat is on as they havn't really all year - our talls doing it all. Understand we are playing the long game with them but how long?.... throw kitchen sink at Rankine and trade some players out.

I think Durdin and Motts will be fine, they need experience playing together and learning how to get at the feet of the tall timber. They chase and harass and do all the 1% team stuff, just need to hit the scoreboard more often, it will come I reckon. Im tipping Durds will light it up this week in Adelaide in front of family and friends.

[Gointocarlton]

So assuming Pitto, Hewitt and Owies come in, who goes out?

Honey would be a definite out for me.
Cotts, Motts, LOB?/
Med Sub Newnes out for Owies as the med sub?

Small Durds Im a fan but doesn't do enough when the heat is on atm. Maybe in the future but right now he just doesn't.
Honey is explosive that has had injury problems early in the year and for a young player it sets them back. The only reason I say this because when I was playing (not AFL) without a big pre season you do feel a little bit behind the eight ball.
Motts - love him but 1-2 pre season away.
Owies - our best small forward and really says alot.

Need to improve the quality in this area.

Walsh will be very, very sore today. Warrior or not, I'd make him take a week off and get himself right for a big final 3 weeks. Give Dow a chance to show that he is ready to go if required over the next 2 months.

Not according to afl.com.au, but it isn't like these people have been wrong before.

Looked up the TV Guide.. Footy is on at 7pm.

Geelong v Western Bulldogs at 7pm on Saturday (Channel 7)

[Mav]

Ch9 News reports Walsh and Weitering have been cleared of injury after the Giants game but George Hewett will miss again with the back injury, an injury that will continue to make him a week by week proposition for the remainder of the season.

Is this not the moment we've been preparing Paddy Dow for?

Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen.

Give him a go now and watch him explode.

Give him a go now and watch him explode.

I'd say he's on the trade table, because that is the only thing that explains why he isn't being given a run.
