Re: AFL Rd 23 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood
Reply #97 –
Collingwood play a good contested pressure game where they make up for a lack of talent with extra effort and hard running. I dont fancy a player like Williams who is suspect in those areas coming in cold with no match fitness. He has Achilles issues and wasnt known for his endurance at GWS and imho the sub role would suit him better where if he did have to come on it would more likely be a short burst rather than having to run out a full game vs opposition who are going to be going hard for 100mins.
I just dont understand why Stocker is the player most likely to be left out and see more upside in him than Williams and would want him getting the big game experience for the future.
Only place I would be shuffling the magnets for next week:
Dow dropped.
Cerra/williams sub. We drop someone who hasnt really set the world on fire, and have a potential game changer in the sub instead.
Newnes is my next weakest link. He has developed the fumbles this year and its costing us in contested situations.
