Teams make sense......kinda

Fisher in for injured Cunners
TDK in for Moore who is dropped.

Cottrell in for injured Harry.......huh?!

In DeKoning, Fisher, Cotrell
Out Moore, McKay, Cunningham
Finally we get to see TDK and Cottrell, I hope they throw themselves at the contest like they have done in the 2's.
H and Cunningham injured yet again is a real worry.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Re Cotrell for McKay: No Silvagni, no McGovern..... no real alternative, plus it’s going to be wet. Better to have soldiers on the ground than in the air.

Very good point. Wet will be better for us I think. Pick a team to best utilise the conditions.

Gee, when you look at the two sides on paper... gulp!

Looking forward to seeing how Cottrell & TDK do.

Seems to me that it is Fisher for Cuningham... that's okay as Fisher will work all day though he doesn't have the deft touch that 'cameo' Cuningham does. TDK for H makes sense. And Cottrell for Moore makes sense, in fact Cottrell's dog would be a reasonable swap for Moore (not to denigrate Cottrell himself  :D )
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

I think people have forgotten how good a fit fisher can be. Its understandable as he's been injured/coming back from injury for years.

His best is very good.....we just haven't seen it for a LONG time.

We didn't get much choice having to go smaller.

This time last year our forward line was Charlie, Harry and Gov......all not there.

Plenty of chaos ball.
Reality always wins in the end.

Indeed. The forecast is for pouring rain. Don't know if that helps us or not, to be honest. We haven't had many positive results in the wet in recent years and our aboriginal players usually put in shockers.
Live Long and Prosper!

Not a bad team for the wet, not top heavy.

Fisher and Cottrell add run, De Koning is very mobile not unlike McKay.

Hope Cottrell doesnt get one of their big name mids.....glad its raining. You have to ask the question about how Obrien is tracking...first Philp and now Cottrell picked ahead of him.
I would have played Obrien unless injured on Gaff for the experience and see if he has improved..
Glad to see Fisher and TDK in although the weather wont help the latter.

Done alright in the wet this year though. Used the ball like elite stars against the Dogs in the wet.

Obrien is a player that has never really shown 'it' in my book.

Cottrell is a running beast.
Fisher is agile, quick and slippery.
Dow has some smarts and bursts from packs ala Judd
Even some others...
Polson has speed
Lang has smarts
Moore has athletic ability for his height

Obrien has......what?

I'm far from head of the Obrien fan club and agree he hasnt shown much but he was a pick 10, had the reputation as a good ball user and decision maker at U18 level . Dow has been injured and is a terrible kick but again I want to see him in the team ahead of a limited defensive player like Cottrell.
Polson was a ordinary draft selection and like Lang wont be with us very long...Moore will be joining them on Jobseeker.
I'm a fan of Fisher and have been since watching him at the U18 Carnival games lets hope he has got over his injuries and loss of form.

I agree from that second lot they will be in line for a new job next year....but i can at least see why you might get excited about them. Shifter Sheehan says you must have '1 thing' to set you apart from others. That '1 thing' will get you drafted. I can see that 1' thing' with them.....unfortunately there isn't much else.

I don't know what that '1 thing' with Obrien is.
I know he was taken at 10, but i don't know why. He got games because he was a pick 10, but i didn't really see his '1 thing' in any of those games
