AFL Elimination Final 1 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney

[Lods]

I had a work go-kart day booked for tomorrow.
Its been postponed because of the terrible weather we are expecting.
Winds will be full on. There will be some rain...and potentially hail. Top of about 11-12 degrees.....a lot less for game time.

It is Melbourne, so it could end up being 30 and sunny tomorrow instead, but i doubt it.

We won't really know for sure until closer to the game.
I mentioned earlier that I'd had a look at around half a dozen forecast sites and there was a fair bit of variation in  the forecast.
Most seemed to be that the worst of the rain and wind would be in the afternoon and easing as the night went on.
The selections may tell a story in terms of the flexibility it allows to make a few late changes if needed.

In: P.Cripps, S.Docherty, M.Pittonet
Out: Z.Fisher (omitted), O.Hollands (omitted), P.Dow (omitted), C.Durdin (omitted)

R24 sub: Caleb Marchbank

Dow, Kennedy, Hollands, Fisher and Motlop are all quite unlucky while Boyd and Young are also a bit unlucky, as is  Silvagni. Depending on the weather there may be some changes and anyone who is currently in the side and who misses out would also be quite unlucky. This is all a good thing for the team.

[Baggers]

IN: Cripps, Docherty, Pittonet.
OUT: Dow, Durdin, Fisher, Hollands.

EMERG: Dow, Fisher, Hollands, Motlop.

Hope Motlop is the sub.

Looking good.

Pittonet should not play IMO. In poor conditions 2 ruckman + McKay too top heavy.
Let TDK ruck for 20 mins a quarter and H  can relieve him. The ball is going to be mostly on the ground. Pitonet will be a liability.

[frostydog]

Not sure why marchbank has been elevated into the 22.

R24 sub: Caleb Marchbank

Very suprised Marchbank is there, has been off the pace and I worry now about how tall we have gone. Surely Motlop the sub. Hollands and Dow very stiff.

[pinot]

Swans just named the tallest forward line I have ever seen.

Some lads were always going to be unlucky with a healthy list.

Good enough team to get the job done
