AFL Rd 6 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS

Not looking good with Saad, McGovern and Cerra missing with hamstring injuries.
Honestly, GWS should pound us: they're playing well and we're not.
Live Long and Prosper!

Will be interesting to see what the match committee does here.

Two rucks takes out alot of run in transition and puts our defence under a ridiculous amount of pressure.

Out: Saad, Gov, Pitto, Carroll, Fantasia
In: Young, Marchy, Cincotta, Fogs, Binns,

Fog has a broken wrist and won't play. Marchy needs to come through the 2s IMO, was awful the last two games he played before being concussed.

Marchy absolutely does - VFL game today at 2pm. I suspect he will play along with Cincotta, Young, Binns,

Surely we need to give Binns a game?
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

I think we pick a side this week based on who is left.

Taking out injured players who not up to standard players eliminates a large chunk of players - 16
Silvagni
Docherty
Cerra
McGovern
Saad
Fogarty
Motlop
Cuningham
Martin
M. Carroll
Mirkov
Akeiu
Monaghan
Marchbank (?)
Lemmey
O'keefe

That leaves a team looking like this....
FB - Newman  - Weitering - Boyd
HB - Williams - Kemp - Cincotta
W - O.Hollands - Cripps - Acres
HF - Cottrell - Curnow - Fantasia
FF - Owies - McKay - C. Durdin
R - De Koning - Walsh - Hewett
INT - Kennedy - E. Hollands - J. Carroll

....and pick 1 more interchange and 1 sub from the remaining players....
Pittonet - Best player not picked, but don't need 2 rucks.
S. Durdin - Probably need a key back, but is he good enough
Young - See Durdin above.
Cowan - Could swap instead of Cincotta who i've brought into the team, but i wouldn't. Could play last spot on the bench, but i wouldn't.
Moir - He may be injured too??
Wilson - untried, but fit
Binns - Untried, but fit.

Thats it.
Thats what we've got to choose from.

Ins Binns, Cincotta, Young.
Outs...Saad, McGovern, Pittonet
Sub O Hollands.
Id have Young in for some KP backline flexibility...Hogan and Riccardi are no mugs and Kemp will be undersized.
Newman to play on Greene, think he did the job last time....Williams wont be strong enough in the air or in the body and Id be using him in the Saad role where he can run the ball.
Id be starting Cottrell on Whitfield...
GWS will have Callan Ward back in the team to replace Coniglio after he played a blinder in his comeback game in the VFL and Id expect Haynes to replace the concussed Taylor so they are decent ins to compensate for their injuries.
Tough game but at home its the test we need to see where we are and one we should be looking forward too...reckon Charlie and Harry will be the difference with Weitering doing the job on Hogan after having a hard time with Tex Walker.

Young looks good against the Filth VFL types, like he's the obvious choice but it's pretty bruise free.

Moir and Binns are running machines, Moir surprises me how well he gets around the ground but not getting much footy.

Even in VFL we look a bit slow, but some of it is hesitation, smaller bodies not be committed.

Calls for Binns to come in astound me. I have been watching the VFL since the 15min of the 3rd and he hasn't laid a glove on the footy.

His first half was excellent. Only had 2 disposals in the 3rd quarter. 15 up to half time and one of our best.
