AFL Rd 23 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs West Coast in Perth

[ElwoodBlues1]

Some of his in close work in the u18s was very slick, he's a little different to the rest of our midfield crew.  Personally I'd play him as a small defender because we're still very light on in that area.

Ok, maybe I havent worked out where his best position is and as a small defender he might be able to find a role, I wouldnt be sticking him on Liam Ryan though.

Lord in this week, I guess they have to justify the mid season selection. McMahon would have been handier this week.
In any case, go well son.

Pleased to be making my debut this weekend.

Geez, i knew we were desperate for fit bodies, but didn't think we were THAT desperate!  >

If they are taking Lemmey all the way over to the other side of the country then they just have to play him. At 201cm, the Eagles have no-one of that height to manage him.

Lemmey regularly rucks in the VFL and I dare say that he would more effective at giving Pitto a chop out than Young, Cripps and Kennedy.  He can clunk a mark and his kicking for goal is good.  If nothing else, Lemmey would demand a competent key defender and he could bring the ball to ground more often than not.

All I ask is that the team that runs out on Sunday "SHOWS SOME FARKEN FIGHT FFS!!!!".

Youthful enthusiasm is a wonderful thing and is probably good for two weeks...... this week and then in front of a home crowd. Bank those 2 wins, take the bye and then bring the cavalry back for the first week of the finals with at least 5 key players well rested and ready to go against an opposition who have not had as much rest as we have, are pretty banged up across the ground and have not had enough time to iron out their niggles. Too simplistic?? We live in hope!!!

I think we can win, WC are not that good and Im hoping we show some fight and pride as GTC suggested and Im sure Cripps, Walsh, Weitering and other senior players can lead the kids to a win and redeem some respect after last weeks debacle.
The players owe Voss after last weeks feeble display and another loss wont be tolerated by long suffering fans Im sure.

That's a very glowing reference for a bloke I've only seen lowlights from.

Maybe the snippets ive tuned in to see have been anomalies, but I've seen nothing to excite me about him thus far.

Lemmey shadows Harry at training and he works against Weiters et al at training.  His running patterns are good and he is a good mark.  His kicking for goal is generally very good. 

He can play in defence and he’s a competent ruckman.

I’d say that he’s still a work in progress, but he’s a much better chance of having an impact as a key forward than Hollands, E, Kennedy, McGovern, Kemp or Young.
