AFL Rd 0R 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Brisbane v Carlton

[madbluboy]

Minimum six starting 25 players will be missing
Zac Williams
Jack Silvagni
Jacob Weitering
Sam Walsh
Jack Martin
Caleb Marchbank

Good test to see how deep this list bats against one of the best sides on their home turf.

Only Weitering and Walsh were in everyone on this forum's best side, Martin was in most.

Pinot did say “starting 25” and his six players would probably be in the side or vying for selection if fit. 

I’d say Owies, small Durds and Lij Hollands would be serious contenders too and Mirkov is probably our only unavailable player who wouldn’t be seriously considered by the MC.

Anyway, it is what it is and Nick Austin’s job is to build a list with the depth to cover first choice players.

My mistake on the 25.

Back in the day we used to have posters who used to give us some great, detailed reports from training sessions.
It's something we don't see much any more which is a shame
But in it's absence here's a bit of a chat about the last training session.

Don't expect anything too earth shattering, it's just a bit of "chewing the fat" ....but there are a few snippets.
Voss not entirely happy with the effort.
Carroll, O'Keeffe caught the eye.

(If anyone can get along to training it would be great to get their reports as the season progresses.)

Thank you Lods, had been looking for comments on how our second tier players performed in the AFL & VFL matches last week.. So good to hear that Carol & Hudson O'Keefe went okay. We might need O'Keefe rucking in the A team this year!

Any thoughts on how Harry Lemmey, Jaxon Binns, Lachlan Cowan and Ashton Moir performed in either game?

cheers Ab

Walsh will miss the Bris and Rich games
Motlop will miss with a jarred toe
Marchbank has had a virus for 2 months or something like that
Williams has been managed since his run in the 2s
If true, then for me its:

Edited after reading Vossy confirmed Zaccy W will play
Saad Young Newman
Williams Kemp/Durdin McGovern
Hollands Cripps Acres
De Koning Cerra Docherty
Cunningham Curnow Hewett
Fantasia McKay Fogarty
Kennedy Cottrell Pitonet Boyd Cincotta(s)

Will be Kemp or Big Durds?
I cant see how we can field anyone else.

What virus does Marchbank have?

[Gointocarlton]

What virus does Marchbank have?

Dunno, I have heard Covid, I have also heard he hasn't trained with the group for a couple of months. Dont know which is true but its Marchy, he'll miss with something.

[madbluboy]

I'm not buying it

[Lods]

Williams will play if he gets through training
