If McKay is ruled out along with McGovern and Casboult 50/50, I'd consider a mobile and flexible rotating forward setup. This is where these coaches are separated with their plans and ideas, and ability to motivate.

'If', none of the usual tall forwards are available, along with De Koning, I'd consider Matt Kennedy to play forward with Silvagni. McDonald could be considered also to give Pittonet a rest at times.

Casboult?
Betts?
Newnes?
McKay?

B: Plowman, Jones, Weitering
Hb: Saad, Docherty, Petrevski-Seton
C: Gibbons, Cripps, Setterfield
Hf: Martin, Silvagni, Murphy
F: Fisher, Kennedy, Fogarty
Foll: Pittonet, Walsh
Rov: Dow
I/c: Williamson, McDonald, E.Curnow, Cuningham
Emg: Stocker, Owies, Parks, Cottrell

Going to be hard to take a mark anyway with Richmonds tall backline so I think we do need to be more mobile and try something different. I think Harry will play along with Casboult but I'm not sure what to expect...

Harry will play injured, won't mark anything overhead and get injured again.
There is still some curse against us.
We have had all off season to get right but yet look at the outs for our first game????
As for Williams being out that's another story of the AFL being VERY anti Carlton.
Will watch with interest until the umps start paying B&*# S*@t free kicks against us.
2024... Moir of the same to come

Club official; Saad and Fogarty to debut, nothing mentioned about OMac!

Surely that means one of Big H, Meat or McGovern must be fit and ready to go, if no OMac?

Never said no Oscar, two players available for the last spot.

H and Levi are supposedly in. Mcg is out.

No point in writing off a season before a ball is even bounced IMO. Let's give the boys a chance first. I'm not expecting to win this game, but I'm expecting a good solid contribution from all 22, or 23 or whatever numbers the AFL decides, when they get around to it lol.

Have you seen our injury list? We don't have a choice!

Talls....(back forward and rucks combined)
C. Curnow - out
M. McGovern - out
Pittonet - in
Jones - in
Weitering - in.....with ?'s
Harry - in with ?'s
Casboult - in with ?'s
TDK - out still injured i believe.....at best in with ?'s
Oscar - potential in, not sure

Who else could appear on this list? That covers all out talls. Either we take some with ?'s over them or we go in short.

Someone suggested our key forwards be done to Silvagni and Kennedy....thats they type of thing we have to do if we want to play fit players.

Exactly my point, OMac must play in my opinion. No point risking H, he has hobbled off two games in a row with an ankle, do we want to make it three times (unlucky)? Levi hasn't played a game, against Richmond he will be blowing a gale in 10mins. Newnes is a small to mid size we can cover one way or another.

I called for Omac to play before he was on our list, halfway through our last practice match....and i stand by it.

TBH, i think this sub rule would be ideal for us in this instance. Pick Omac as the guy if we dont want to pick him in the 22.
Our side will be smaller than normal anyway, and thus be easier to cover a small injury.
We get our tall insurance with him as the 23rd player.

edit: My original point that Omac might be in the best 22 already.....and we are picking injured players because we are forced too.

Omac will play.  Nothing surer.

Maybe, if this was the regular pre-game Captain's run it's usually not compulsory. Young players feel obliged, but older experienced players often sit out!
