Robert Heatley Stand / VFL 2024 Rd 4 Carlton vs Port Melbourne at Carlton

Last post by crashlander - Today at 08:13:31 pm

Port haven't won a game yet. Neither have we. But do we have enough guys to put a team on the park?

If Durdin doesn't play this week, then something very odd is happening. We need a little experience on the park in the VFL!

Our line-up:

Backs: Lachie Cowan Jacob Weitering Brodie Kemp
Half-backs: Zac Williams Lewis Young Nic Newman
Centreline: Ollie Hollands Patrick Cripps Blake Acres
Half-forwards: Matthew Cottrell Tom De Koning Elijah Hollands
Forwards: Charlie Curnow Harry McKay Matthew Owies
Followers: Marc Pittonet Sam Walsh George Hewett
Interchange: Jordan Boyd Jack Carroll Corey Durdin Orazio Fantasia Matthew Kennedy

Emergencies: Jaxon Binns Alex Cincotta Hudson O'Keeffe

In: Lachie Cowan, Lewis Young
Out: Adam Saad (hamstring), Mitch McGovern (hamstring)

[1] I can live with 2 rucks. Tom struggled against Briggs last year. Pitto shouldn't.
[2] How did Cincotta miss out? He has to add more than Fantasia and Corey Durdin. And he has shown he can play in the middle: I'd be trying something different there.
[3] Our midfield has been smashed this year. Can we change it somehow?
[4] Ollie Hollands?

I looks at this side and I am uninspired. I guess Cowan is playing well enough, but Cincotta was excellent in his only showing.

He is lucky we have injuries and don't have many options. Be handy if he could find some form this week..

I thought we were over the MC ruining or chances with their chosen lineups.
The number of games we struggled in due to the teams imbalance we ALL could see even before a ball is bounced.

Last year was good, regularly good.

What's the story with Cincotta? Didn't play last week in the VFL but named as an emergency?

I don’t mind the side however I would have dropped Fantasia for Cincotta to provide some flexibility down back and a bigger body against GWS - let’s hope there is a late surprise Sat.

I have no problem with going into the match with no run - but need to scrap the game plan from beginning of year as that handball run and gun game from turnover is not going to work with two rucks.

I have no problem if its the game plan of last year contested dominating stoppages and clearances then two rucks makes more sense but run and gun from turnover is not going to work.
