Re: Pre Game Preparations: AFL 2021 R3 Carlton vs Fremantle at Marvel

6 months ago I would've put my house on Cripps staying at Carlton for the entirety of his career.....now, I'm not so sure. And who could begrudge him really? He's busted his @rse and carried the club for years without too much meaningful support....he's starved of success. If he decides to go, then hopefully it's similar to us and the Eagles when Judd chose Carlton....agreement was reached in a way and the Eagles respected his decision, but still drove a hard bargain.
And the situation with his partner only complicates it and he's totally within his rights to do what's best for him and her....some of that online stuff is just despicable.
That all said, Cripps will be giving it his all this week and every week for the club....you wouldn't expect anything less. It's about time a few others put their bodies on the line as well.
IN: McDonald, Betts, Kennedy, Stocker
OUT: Casboult, Martin, Fisher, Setterfield
Plowman probably survives because of the smaller Freo forward line. And Murphy probably only survives because of Martin going out.
If Silvagni is fit, then bring him in as well and probably drop Newnes....Silvagni can play off a wing and push into the middle and the forward line.
SOS was only meant to be a week, seems to have trained well so should play and Newnes should be dropped.
I'd also drop Plow, he was totally terrible last week (and the week before really). The MC must make statements no matter if you are the captain or a rookie. We NEED to find the right mix who will perform for 4 qtrs every week. No more 15 minute cameos.
