AFL Finals 2024 Carlton vs Brisbane in Brisbane

[Lods]

We're wasting a lot of energy on a 'paper' side.  :
Hopefully Brisbane are too
If, in the unlikely event they line up as selected, we need to save a bit of rage for the post match "I told you so's"

The selectors have a much better knowledge than we do of a number of major aspects..
- Current injuries and fitness levels
- Roles and match-ups required.
- The readiness of our young players to handle a pressure that will be significantly greater than they have ever experienced. Brisbane in Brisbane in a final is probably a grade above a checked out West Coast and a pretty average St KIlda.

I'm okay with the team assuming the ins are 100% fit.

Cerra would surely be the sub as they don't like having Hewett, Kennedy and him in the same side.

[Gointocarlton]

Lord, Binns, Moir can because they are fit and in form. Not as if we are playing 23 of those types. They would blend in alot better with the others we have in than non match fit players. No risks needed. Just a fit football team. Our slump started playing half fit, out of form bigger names as you well know. Right now, it is panic button selection.

I prefer Cincotta, Lord, Binns and Moir to Durdin, Motlop and Fantasia and a half fit Cerra.

So you prefer to take Moir, with less than 60 mins of AFL experience, into a cut throat final at the Gabba than Cerra? Think about what you write sometimes.

I thought Cincotta would have tagged Zorko, obviously Williams has that role now.

Exactly what I also figured. Cinc is the perfect match-up for Zorko... who is a beast and launches so many attacks. And intimidates forward lines. He'd feast on Williams... or Motlop... or Durdin... Plus, Cinc would give Zorko something else to think about - he's quick over the grass, strong and dangerous around goals.

I think Cincotta will play.

Well when I saw our selected side, a lot of optimism evaporated. Was going to write a few things but saw that K (above) covered them nicely.

If you're Brisvegas, who are you going to target in our forward line? Durdin's shoulder, run Williams and Fantasia hard until they do a hammy or calf.

Marion Pickett says hi ?

Marion Pickett says hi ?

How old was Pickett again?

[BluePhantom]

How old was Pickett again?

Moir has x factor and is hard to match up due to his height and agility.
I've been pro Orazio but would select Moir before him.
Plus it's a final in Brisbane with what 45000 spectators, not really as intimidating as a final at the G in front of 95000?

[pinot]

Moir will get pushed off the ball too easily as a forward he is a top talent in a boys body right now
Some games in H&A is good but an important final just needs to get his body a little bit hardened .
Ollie Dempsey has had three pre seasons and is 21 years old
Moir need two more pre seasons but you do expect him to get few games next year and might be a key player for us but right now he is too young against brute experienced defenders.
