VFL 2024 Rd 13 Carlton vs Southport at Carlton

[ElwoodBlues1]

I dont see Fantasia being dropped, Voss obviously likes him and his form while nothing brilliant has improved, if he was going to be dropped it would have been a while back and why change a winning team anyway?
And why change it for a bunch of iffy injury prone players who cant go with VFL kids from the Bullants and Journeymen from Southport?
Apart from Cerra who I would introduce back into the team as the sub initially I wouldnt fix what isnt broken. Id be sticking with Cowan and making sure he doesnt become a Tasmanian player, been doing a great job on his opponents much like Concotta and attacks the ball with ferocity and is an old school style defender.

not much in the reserves to be excited about players like carol and binns do nothing that is a standout ?????

No, it doesn't look like anyone in the VFL is making selection difficult for Voss and the MC.

Fantasia has been unimpressive but has been fulfilling a role - Cottrell's role basically.  Cottrell does it better and if it comes down to a choice between them Cotters will win.  And in the pure small forward role his diminished pace, inability to kick over a jam tin and avoidance of physical contact puts him behind the 8 ball.  What he has is experience and nous and that has got him a gig during our injury crisis but I think with a full list he is not in the 23 or even in the first couple in line for promotion.  But a full list is rare as unicorn shit so it will come down to who is out I suspect.
