Carlton Supporters Club

Congratulations Fish, have a night out!

We have a bevy of players who should notch up their 100th games this season; Cerra, McGovern, Charlie and Harry.  Walsh and Kennedy will have to wait until the start of next season.

Apart from the milestone, that suggests that we have a significant part of our list at the peak of their powers.

We have however won plenty of games in Adelaide in the past.

Yes, the Croweaters have a strong team, at home and everything to play for in terms of them launching the Adelaide round. Plenty of motivation.

Just the sought of challenge we need, knowing we are really up against it. We won't be going into this game like last year's game against the Croweaters... more likely how we went into last year's games against top sides. Our consistent best will win this game, an inconsistent effort and we're in trouble.

According to Kruddler's "Voss's objectives", we haven't won an away game against Adelaide since 2010.  It's time we changed that!

Any Team, Any Where, Any Time!

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a late change....Plowman into the 22 for maybe Ed. As it stands there's really only 6 defenders....having one more for rotations might help unless Ed is a dedicated tagger.

With Docherty spending most of the game in the midfield, we have gone with six defenders plus Cerra (GWS) and Hewett (North) playing mainly in defence.  I think we'll continue that approach.

Plowman as the sub would provide an option to stiffen the defence if Cerra/Hewett doesn't work.

Plowman like Dow seems to be one of those "too good for 2s not good enough for 1s" type players. I'm sorry but if we are asking him to perform a defensive role on a dangerous fwd, forget it. He panics, makes mistakes and gives away frees in dangerous parts the ground. If necessary, I think he would be better suited to a run-with role in the midfield or as a negating half forward. I think his footy brain is good, disposal is okish, but inside the oppositions F50? No way.

I think if we have to contrive a role for him then he is better off at another club, for mine he plays where he usually plays and if he cant handle it he doesnt play seniors. Type of player who needs a challenge IMO, if we had massive injuries I could see him lifting and picking up the slack and being the good Plowman but in a team going ok and him not having to be too accountable or getting a bit too inventive if played up the ground then we will see the bad Plowman.

Honey the sub is a weird one for me.
