AFL Rd 0R 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Brisbane v Carlton

[pinot]

Need to give a youngster a debut imo - maybe Moir in a Jack Martin role and see how he goes

[DJC]

Williams will play if he gets through training

I thought he’d need another week.

Which defender makes way for him; Cincotta?

Moir has impressed me but has he done enough to earn a game?

I think Binns is well ahead of Moir in the debut ranks.

He can play back, midfield, forward so he's good coverage for our missing players.

Someone on BF suggested they heard a "brave" call will be made. Maybe its Moir, maybe its Williams.

Zac Williams is a definite starter if he gets through training. Good to see him back.

Apparently Voss has confirmed Williams, you may recall what I said from pre-season observations, so I am not surprised.

Pre-season form is rubber, but fitness and frame size can't be faked, you have to do the work to get the look. Williams looks like he is cut from granite at the moment, let's hope good form follows.

There is no substitute for match fitness though.

Remember when Cousins made his miraculous return with the tigers. Could've won some Mr Universe events with his physique. A friend of mine commented that he looked 'too big and too good' and that he will get injured.
He last 3 quarters of the opening game before *PING* went the hammy.

Don't be fooled by beach muscles.

Williams has been pretty active in our match sims, even before he officially finished his rehab.

I doubt whether he would be in the side if Vossy and the Terrier had any doubts about his ability to compete for the entire game.  It's not as if there's no competition for spots in the backline.

There is a difference between pumping iron and looking the way Williams did in pre-season, and also Martin on his return last year, bulk by pumping iron doesn't give you that lean hard shredded appearance.

The only way body builders and weight lifters get that same lean hard half starving look is by dehydrating. AFL players can't do that as they wouldn't last a quarter, maybe that was the Cousin's cheat, but by then Cousins was an old man, old before his time!
