AFL Finals 2024 Carlton vs Brisbane in Brisbane

[ElwoodBlues1]

Cerra with his hammy issues is a big gamble and two rucks a bit mystifying.
Can't see TDK playing....

I reckon there will be a late change or 2 with Cincotta and another coming in

Cincotta and Moir should be playing.
Agree , there has to be a late change or 2.
This is an all chips in roll the dice team they've named.

Kept/brought in half fit, out of form players and dropped the young blokes who performed. Didn't have the guts to run with a couple of the young blokes who performed.

2 rucks is fine as Curnow is out.

My thoughts exactly, De Koning and one of Cerra or McGovern won't play.

[BluePhantom]

No Cerra or Fantasia.
Moir Def in.

Playing 2 rucks is ok because one of them is a key forward in charlies absense.

Dropping Cincotta and playing a spud like Fantasia has got me stuffed.
Ditto Durdin (and to a lesser extent IMO Motlop)

I hope we have Fantasia as the sub. I somehow think Kemp will get that role though.

I don't think we should be playing a team that has....
Williams, Durdin, Motlop and Fantasia,
Too many potential, non-contributors. History will tell you that at least one of them will have 6 or less touches and very little else influence over the game.
You could play Cincotta in a similar role who would give you lockdown options, kick as many goals, give you the same defensive pressure and twice as many touches.

Apart from that....i think its a decent side, albeit a little bit different from the norm, but circumstances dictate that.

Suppose with Charlie out they have TDK trying to fill that hole. I would have kept in a couple of the younger blokes rather than bring back Cerra and Doc. Cerra was out of form last time because he had missed too much of the year, Doc could not possibly be ready for a big final, don't care what anyone says, but in for a fit Cincotta, Motlop couldn't get a kick in a stampede right now as he has missed too much footy. Motlop, Durdin and Fantasia doesn't inspire me with alot of confidence. It was a typical Voss/MC team that showed no guts.

[Professer E]

100% Kruds, why keep selecting non hackers....small forwards with one wing, a couple that struggle to get four possessions a game... We can't beat the lions with that side.

After feeling a little bullish about our chances for the past few days..... The Motlop, Fantasia and Durdin aspects are rather deflating....

Still - GO BLUES!!!
