Lineup based on those selected

Saad              Weitering     Plowman
Docherty       Jones            Williams
Stocker          Cripps          O'Brien
Martin           Silvagni        Honey
Betts             McKay          Owies

TDK   Curnow    Walsh

Int:   Dow, Newman, SPS, Kennedy     Medical:  Murphy

Em:  Fogarty, Newnes, Cottrell

Curnow only plays if he has a specific tagging role (i.e.Sloane) otherwise it's Fogarty.
Newman relieves off half back
Let SPS and Dow loose through the midfield

O'Brien shouldn't be in the squad on the strength of his VFL performance.  He was OK but not in our best.  I can't see him getting a spot in our 23.

Another hard to follow decision by the selectors  ::)

Samo played very well in the reserves as midfielder/forward and it would unforgiveable to use him in defence. 

I would prefer to see Honey and Newman in for Newnes and Fogarty (medical sub).

Depends on the matchups, but i'd prefer Cottrell as a defender, and maybe even Fogarty.
Both are accountable and love to tackle.

I'd play Murphy in the middle and have him changing with SPS up forward.

No Newman wasnt that bad IMO, I think Docherty or Stocker will lineup down back.....hope they dont do something dumb like stick Stocker on McAdam and get a repeat of the Liam Ryan scenario.

Who is the second ruck?
Please not Harry too valuable down forward and too much of a chance of a knee injury against a seasoned ruck.

Well the team has copped a week of heavy criticism.
Some individuals have even been 'named and shamed'
The captain has signed on for a long term deal showing he has faith in his team-mates and the direction we're heading.

If we can't respond this week there will really be no place to hide.
I just can't believe we won't see a 100% committed effort.

I'm expecting a win, the opposition are not great and on the back of Cripps signing and Teague at the crossroads the players should respond. Blues by 25 points but I don't think it will stop the pressure each week that will keep building on club and coach.

I've tipped us this week.

Seriously who do they expect to give TDK a chop-out in the ruck? Risk HMAc - hell no. Jones needed down back you would think - otherwise he'd be my suggestion. That leave Cripps and Silvagni - neither more than an emergency chop-out in my view. I accept there is no-one in the 2s that could come in given Levi's suspension (shocking timing) and Mirkov's injury (not that he isn't a million miles off ready for AFL but needs must). But that is where the MC has to think laterally. Can't find a ruckman? Then find a key defender and release Jones. Kemp may not be ready but you could find out. Parks may not be up to it but at least he gives a crack. Williamson has been playing third tall down back in the 2s. Or play Silvagni down back - at least he has discipline and endeavour. Any of those moves could free up Jones to play forward where he spent most of his admittedly disappointing early career and provide TDK with relief in the ruck. Jones may not be an AFL quality forward but he is closer than many on the list and I reckon could be interesting as a running ruckman in short bursts. But given the restraints we have I guess it will be Cripps and TDK as ruck and ruckrover with Kennedy relieving Cripps and Cripps relieving TDK as needed.

As for a result, my heart wants to say we will respond to all the criticism and smack a team we are better than, and there are reasons why we could and should do that, but my head says that if Adelaide turn up prepared to keep grinding they will be confident that Carlton will eventually find it too tough and turn  it up - it is what every side in the comp thinks and they seem to be right.  Prove them wrong Baggers and fight to the end.  Then this is winnable.

If the team can't get wound up for this, we never will.
