AFL Rd 3 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne

[laj]

Get to watch this one on a boat cruise around Japan. Probably on the replay on the AFL Site a couple of days later. Kayo I won't get but I can listen to the broadcast.

Larkey usually does well on Weitering too 

Like many others, Weitering can struggle against a fast leading opponent but it might be his only major weakness.

[Blue Moon]

I think E. Hollands will be playing. Fantasia is likely to miss out.  Not sure he is fully fit. Weitering is a strong possibility.

[kruddler]

If Elijah Hollands comes in, who does he take the place of?
I'm not certain he comes in because i'm not certain players playing a similar position deserve to be dropped.

Young -> Weitering
Owies/Fantasia -> Martin

Thats about it i reckon.

Reckon they might give Martin a run through the twos first.

Anyway, time will soon tell.

Cunningham might make way for one of the returning/ debut players

Could they not do that while we have the bye?

I'd have him straight in if fit. Can't be any less productive than our smaller forwards at the moment.

Yes, Weiters back to get the defence organised and to steady us a bit. We looked shakey a few times down back last night and Larkey could certainly  cause some mayhem.
Martin would be nice too! Just hoping. I'm not expecting Walshy back just yet.

Docherty missing from the defence (even though he's been playing further upfield) means we may not have a 'general' back there while Weitering is missing.
Still you would think with the experience of Saad, Newman, Williams and McGovern someone else would be taking up that 'role'.
Anyone stand out as the 'director' in Weitering's absence?

Out: Fantasia (omit), Young (omit)
In: Binns, Weitering
