Re: AFL Elimination Final 1 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney Reply #231 – September 07, 2023, 07:13:32 pm I've always been a wrap for Marchbank. But i reckon he is pretty lucky to getting a gig this week as it hurts our team balance, as does 2 rucks.That being said. If we believe Marchbank is good enough to be picked in our finals side, why haven't we signed him up for next year yet?
Re: AFL Elimination Final 1 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney Reply #232 – September 07, 2023, 07:31:40 pm Marchbank is our 7th defender.

In poor conditions 2 ruckman + McKay too top heavy. Let TDK ruck for 20 mins a quarter and H can relieve him. The ball is going to be mostly on the ground. Pitonet will be a liability.Despite my hopes to the contrary, we saw against GWS that Harry can’t ruck.The Swans have named one genuine ruckman, one very capable ruck/forward, and two competent part-timers. We’d be crazy to go in with just one ruck. 1 Likes

Surely Motlop the sub. Hollands and Dow very stiff.We have to go with 7 defenders. Doc will play in the midfield and Marchy will be needed against the Swans’ very tall forward line. They’ve effectively gone with one ruck and three ruck/forwards.
Re: AFL Elimination Final 1 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney Reply #235 – September 07, 2023, 07:53:12 pm Well I never would have picked Marchbank in a million years, too slow and will cost us I reckon. We'll see in a little over 24hrs.

Re: AFL Elimination Final 1 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney Reply #238 – September 07, 2023, 08:00:26 pm Coll vs Melbourne showing you need quick contested players not an overly tall lineup that flounder in the wet. Playing too many talls isn't the smart way to go imo.
