Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Rd 2: Carlton vs Sydney Pre Game Postulations
Bolton has said Daisy will come in. But who for?

I can also see Byrne coming in, but I'm not sure who will come out. 

The only two I can see are Buckley (played his role as a defensive forward but only had 3 touches) and White (who played ok but made a few errors).  The reason I put these two up are because Buckley is quick but undersized, and White is either an undersized KPP or a run with player for their big bodied on-ballers.

The down side of dropping White is that he adds balance to the team as he can cover talls and play run with their big onballers (like Kennedy & Parker).

Daisy and Byrne are two very good each way runners and a good size (height and weight) for on-ballers; they would be very useful against the Swans who have such onball depth.

We need more run and flexibility. Collingwood run and run and run. They put pressure on the ball carrier then spread quickly when the opposition turn it over.

I hope we drop a tall for another runner - I'd like to see Judd, Whiley, Graham and maybe Jaksch in.
Outs - Dick, Carazzo (slow and possibly injured - could get cut up when doesn't have the ball), Ellard (doesn't run through the mid-field) and maybe Jones/Casboult.
The end result is 3 x genuine midfielders in for a forward pocket, hbf and slow mid-fielder; Also swap a mobile big for an erratic forward.

Jaksch can start forward and go back when Rowe pinch hits in the ruck.
I'd like to see the more mobile Walker forward with Hendo and either Caz or Jones.
The taller onballers like Everitt, Judd and Cripps resting forward is also a nice option.

I'm hoping that we don't play too many taggers:
Everitt is a great match up for Pendlebury which leaves Curnow for Seedsman
