AFL Rd 24 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS

[pinot]

Sydney v Melbourne
Lions v Saints

Even if we lose it's hard to see how we are not going to get a home elimination final.

[pinot]

I don't envy the match committee for next round
There are going to be many let down lads.
I wouldn't even know where to begin who to drop

Cincotta, Fisher, Cunninham and unfortunately Ed.

They can't afford to have the first game back for a bunch of blokes to be a final, most players need at least 1/2 of footy to get up to pace after an extended break.

You might get away with one maybe two returns in a final, but not three or four.

[pinot]

Out:
Cincotta - move Doc to the backline
Cunners - doing well but just short of just enough - 2 tackles and no score involvements yesterday. 50/50 on attitude than form. Risky picking him. Unfortunately.
Hollands - is a young star but I think we need players that are proven from here. winning 50/50 contests is going to be crucial and just too young for now.

In: Cerra, Walsh, Fogarty

I'll  2nd that pinot although as G2C suggests I'd sacrifice Marchbank rather than Cincotta
What a dilemma we're having? Last year we couldn't get anyone in.

Selection is going to be a nightmare for them.

Marchbank still looks rusty. Didn't watch the VFL but apparently Young was very good. But hard to see how we could squeeze Young and McGovern back into the same team at the moment.

If Cerra and Walsh are fit, gotta play them.....they'll get the following week off anyway.

[LP]

I've also heard that Kennedy is closer than is being publicly reported.

A good thing coming out of the various outs, is that Hewett who was rusty is back in peak form.

Makes me wonder if we should give Charlie a week off and let Harry go solo, but I suppose the Coleman remains in play so it might be unfair to Charlie!

[Sub-Zero]

Fogarty for Cuningham is a possibility. Cuningham hasn't been at his best yet. Like-for-like is the way we generally go at the selection table, especially with this new-found depth we have. Martin, Motlop and Owies had a combined 12 tackles and 6 goals 6 as a trio. That was pleasing to see. They're not going anywhere bar injury.
McGovern didn't look like he was ready to come in yesterday, according to reports. Will he be alright on Sunday?
