(Cottrell & TDK both deserve another game but I fear it will be them).Pittonet has done a good job but i'm more inclined to play TDK ahead of him. Quote Selected

I'd play both and leave McGovern out...Freo are small down back with both KP out and have no one to go with Casboult and Harry.Darcy is the lumbering bullocking type of ruck which probably suits Pittonet, TDK has been injury prone so I'd like to see more runs on the board game wise before we start trusting his body.Also Pittonet adds that bit of muscle we dont have much of, although he looked very lean next to NicNat....not sure what they feed the WC players but its hard to find a thin body in that lineup even smalls like Ryan are very chunky. We need their fitness guy... Quote Selected 1 Likes

Most of that tape does squat, it's more about offering the player some confidence than having any real function. Quote Selected

Yes its restrictive, yes it makes you sweaty, but if it holds it together better than without it, then its a small sacrifice. Knee taping would be the same, albeit a little less helpful (?). If you do it tight enough, its probably better. Quote Selected

Re: Pre game postulations: AFL 2020 Rd 12: Carlton vs Fremantle Reply #28 – August 12, 2020, 08:09:26 am Need these next two games otherwise the season starts to slip right away. We win them and the season is in our hands, if not it going to be a struggle, maybe too much of one.It feels good even talking about a season slipping away rather than our season being screwed after 2 rounds and talking the no.1 pick...haha.

Re: Pre game postulations: AFL 2020 Rd 12: Carlton vs Fremantle Reply #29 – August 12, 2020, 08:14:13 am I think this is one season where you can just focus on the little things and forget the big picture, the dynamic and dramatic swings we see in games is direct evidence even the players are treating it like a pre-season!Just focus on the little things, because nobody but the winner is going to take this season with any seriousness!
