I haven't seen O'Shea play. He's listed as a tall (197) running defender. Not sure how he slots in for either of our Outs. Cunningham I'm guessing will get a run through the middle. I hope we match up well this week because we didn't last week - by all accounts. No doubt our selectors have the good oil on this.

Sounds like reasonable doubt over big Kruez  :-[
That will hurt us a lot IMO.

MY EDIT
Sorry, thought I was posting in pre-game thread.

Keeping together is progress.

We need to catch a little more luck with injuries than we're having at the moment. Doc, Pickett, Kreuzer, Kennedy, ASOS, Lang, Williamson, Lobbe... it's starting to get serious.

Having thought about it...

Marchbank playing wing is the most likely outcome of O'Shea getting a game. He spent a lot of time there in the JLT. That will mean the resting mids rotation replaces SOSOS and Garlett will spend more time closer to goal hopefully.

I'm all for giving young men blocks of games if it helps their long term development.

So am I... provided they hit their KPI’s.
Like Jones last year, he was bashing on the door for selection and he didn’t miss a beat when promoted.
Everyone must hit their KPI’s before being eligible for selection, once selected sure, give them 3-6 games to find their feet.
Let’s go BIG !

See marchbank playing wing to accommodate O'Shea makes no sense to me. Yes, physically he could play there, but marchbank was one of our best last week and now we move him out of position to accommodate O'Shea into the team? Why not just bring in a wingman??

They'd only do that if Marchbank is the guy they want on the wing. The team named 5 tall backmen. I'd be surprised if all 5 play in the back line.

Think you are right. There is another role planned for one of them at least. We can only guess though at what it will be.

‘Give Harry A Go?’  I think he will today.  There was no justification to name him as an emergency, except as cover for Krooz, and he won’t come up. Big H needs to take his chance; dry track, weaker opposition, faster ball movement.

I'm looking forward to seeing him in action today.  :)

Bolton said that Harry will come into the side if the Tractor can’t play.

I was surprised they played 4 last week.

Point is, picking O'Shea to cover Marchbank as you move him to the wing, is making our backline weaker....and i'm not sure our midfield stronger.

Why not pick a specialist wing instead of moving marchbank? He was one of our best last week, and we 'reward' him by playing him out of position? It doesn't make sense.

If we're going to muck around with it I'd like to see Marchbank up forward rather than on a wing.

I notice Kerridge isn't on the team list for NB's and he is one of today's emergencies.....
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

I apologise wholeheartedly.

You were right,  Bolton is showing his limitations as match selector and potentially outcoached himself in both games.

I'm notching it Two games that selection has cost us more than anything.
