AFL Rd 13 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Essendon

[pertz]

Durdin for Fantasia... no surprises there.

Didn't think he'd survive. He can't handle the pressure and pace of the game anymore. Experiment over, time to move on.

Injured.

Durdin must have excelled at training. His VFL form has been poor … but he’s not Robinson Crusoe there ?

I would have played Binns ahead of Durdin.  He wasn’t brilliant against the Bullants but he has been in decent form.

I hope Hewett isn’t the sub ?

Although his performance last week was meh, for a small forward his stats were ok.  3 tackles, 15 disposals.  Giving the ball lived at the other end of the ground for long periods its passable but I'd really like to see banging the door down.

Durdin is a more like for like with Fantasia, and maybe Binns is too much of an experiment in a big game.

Several of our players had reasonable stats but actually did very little.  Durdin had plenty of opportunities but failed take advantage of them.

Fantasia has been doing Cottrell’s role and I think that Binns is more capable of that than Durdin.  It would be a big ask to give him that responsibility in his full game when it’s a blockbuster against one of our fiercest rivals.

I assumed Carroll would be playing and Durdin sub?

I think similarly, Carroll in and someone else Sub, but I'm not sure it's clear if it will be Durdin, could we have a late change?

I suppose we will know at 2pm!
