AFL Rd 23 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[bmaurizio]

If one were to take a risk and given the high stakes for the Blues,  Williams over Stocker everyday of the week.  One is good ordinary footballer the other an elite when he’s on song, received a huge contract , if he’s fit to play longer than half a game Williams will be selected.

[Professer E]

No way.  Williams is an over paid, over hyped injury prone player who needs to dominate in the twos before getting a run.  Played about two decent games for us.  Put up or pi.. Off.

Stocker 100% for the pies.

If Zac is fit I would play him, we need more run and better delivery going forward.

Zac should play if fit. Has been disappointing first two seasons with us but is a gun player. I think Weits, Young and Gov are enough talls need more ground ball players - Marchy is off the boil with his marking and defending and would replace him with Zac.

He's is iffy when fit let alone coming back from a long lay off. No thanks.

[LP]

Let's just hope if this is happening it's under the old Carlton ways, keeping a lid on player progress and catching the opposition off-guard!

Can’t believe anybody could be contemplating dropping Stocker to accommodate Williams who hasn’t done a thing since he arrived at Ikon. Don’t think Voss will be that silly and he’ll need to earn the right to rejoin the team through the VFL.

Stocker was excellent against the Dees and provides some much needed hardness  to our side.

FWIW, i was probably the first to throw Stockers name up, but i was doing it based off how the MC would do it, rather than my own preference.
Stocker seems to be the last one in, and first one out.
If you are going to push for Williams (which seems to be the rumblings) then someone makes way.....who would the MC drop if it wasn't stocker?

[Professer E]

Don't worry,  there will be an injury to create a slot. 

I'd be evaluating Motlop and wait he brings,  what his role is etc.  We might need more pace and flexibility.

Maybe if Stocker had a ridiculous contract
like Williams he wouldn't get dropped so often.Even McGovern and Martin had to do some time in the twos to get some fitness before returning, I just don't see what's so special about Williams he gets an automatic spot in the 22.

Williams? Just too big a risk. The heat there will be in next Sunday's game would be a bridge too far for a bloke lacking match fitness.
