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

[pinot]

I keep thinking where do we have an excess of players - and that's the midfield.?

B: Newman  Weitering  Cowan
HB: Kemp  McGovern Cincotta
C: Hollands  Hewett  Acres
HF: Williams  Lemmey  Carroll
F: Owies    Kennedy  Motlop
R: Pittonet  Cripps  Walsh
I: Young Binns Wilson Lord

[Lods]

My side (not much choice) with all 6 of Curnow McKay Saad Boyd Fogarty Martin confirmed out

When you look at it it's actually not a bad side we can cobble together.
It's well off our best but...
There's plenty of senior experience there, and the young ones have a golden opportunity to show their wares.
Some players just need that opportunity.
The question will be are100% fit players going to match the impact of the 75% fit players who have been taking the field in recent games.

I think you are one Holland short.......

Id have Hewett or Cincotta tagging Harley the wonder dog and be prepared to use Cripps more forward this game for two reasons , we will probably need more goals from our mids plus he will be heavily tagged by Yeo who has been in decent form and if he plays forward that will also take Yeo out of the play if he follows him.

If we were to be 100% accurate, i'd take 6 of that side out of there.
Cincotta, McGovern, Kennedy, Acres, Walsh and Weitering are definitely not 100%.
I suspect Cripps, Pittonet and Hewett are carrying niggles as well.

[Blue Moon]

My team, and it is Tuesday so we have plenty of time to lose a few more players, is:
Kemp Weitering Cowan
Newman Young Cincotta
O.Hollands E.Hollands Acres
Motlop McGovern Owies
Lemmey Cripps Durdin
Pittonett Kennedy Hewitt
Carroll Williams Binns Walsh
With Lord Wilson Moir Mirkov as emergencies
I am not sure Fantasia will be right which leaves Akuei and Monahan to fly the flag in the VFL.
I like the idea of Cripps playing permanently forward. I would like him to play like a midfielder and run his opponent into the ground.

How about this side
FB Boyd Marchbank M Carroll
HB Saad S Durdin Docherty
C Martin Cerra ??
HF Cunningham McKay Fogarty
FF Fantasia Curnow Silvagni
R De Koning Cottrell ??
Int O'Keefe ?? ?? ??
Nearly a better side than we will put out this week vs WC.

[LoveNavy]

Injured in the past 2 weeks: 4 fwds, 1 mid, 1 winger, and 2 hbs.

If we lacked connection and communication last week, as Weiters suggests, it's a mountain too high to rectify that with mass changes. Not to mention having players across every line that have never played together.

We've got mine and Buckley's.
WC by 40 (open to being wrong)

Kruddler did one of these in another thread and added the blokes we suspect are playing injured.
It's even more dramatic.

Actually it was this thread....

FB: Docherty - S. Durdin - Boyd
HB:  Saad  - Marchbank - McGovern
C:  Cottrell -    Cerra -  Cuningham
HF: Fogarty - Silvagni - Martin
FF: C. Durdin - Curnow - Williams
R: De Koning - Kennedy - Cincotta
Int: Fantasia - M. Carroll - O'Keefe - Acres

and that was before we knew the McKay injury....and I'd whack Walsh in there as well.

Reckon Lord will play after that outstanding effort last week.
