Carlton Supporters Club

We can all laugh and joke, but it is the right thing to do....for a couple of reasons.

1. Who does he play on? Is there a matchup for him? No.....so why play him?
2. We need to be smarter with our player managing after coming back from injuries. Look at all the 're-injuring' we've had lately. Cerra, Williams....a couple others....have injured themselves in the 2nd game back....or 3rd game back. Ease them back into it and you'll have them available longer.

How has Fantasia kept his spot? What on earth is going on!!

Sportsbet  Carlton $1.41   GCS $2.92  What do they know that we don't??

Durdin gets the flick and Fantasia keeps his spot 

No Motlop.

Marchbank managed after 2 games, 1 in the Magoos and 1 at senior level. Someone is ripping the p155 out of us. Perhaps the truth would have had the media all over our fitness dept., again, for all the wrong reasons.

Anyway, an improved side.

No way am I even going to speculate who the sub will be.

Obviously there is a new role for either Cincotta or Boyd otherwise we have 8 defenders

He was better last week. Durdin picked the wrong game to have a stinker

After the VFL last week Cowan could well play through the midfield

Yes was huge in our comeback.  I know it was only 2s, but has pace and grit.

Hopefully Marchbank's "Manage" is to manage him out of the club.

Our line-up:

B:  [42] Adam Saad,  [23] Jacob Weitering,  [2] Lachlan Cowan
HB:  [17] Brodie Kemp,  [11] Mitch McGovern,  [24] Nic Newman
C:  [4] Oliver Hollands,  [9] Patrick Cripps,  [13] Blake Acres
HF:  [6] Zac Williams,  [10] Harry McKay,  [20] Elijah Hollands
F:  [14] Orazio Fantasia,  [30] Charlie Curnow,  [44] Matthew Owies
R:  [12] Tom De Koning,  [18] Sam Walsh,  [7] Matthew Kennedy
Int:  [37] Jordan Boyd,  [29] George Hewett,  [39] Alex Cincotta,  [8] Lachie Fogarty,  [16] Jack Carroll

Em: [19] Corey Durdin,  [33] Lewis Young,  [25] Jaxon Binns

In:  Adam Saad,  Lachlan Cowan,  Lachie Fogarty
Out:  Corey Durdin (Omitted),  Marc Pittonet (Injured),  Caleb Marchbank (Managed)

[1] We will miss Pittonet, who usually plays well against Witts. Tom has a very poor record against Witts and has always played to his weaknesses against him. If he plays to his strengths and moves Witts around ...
Still, I see this is a major danger.

[2] Saad, Cowan and Fogarty in is good for us. Saad defends and attacks. Fogarty keeps the ball in our forward half and provides opportunities for his team mates. Cowan played well last week in the 2's: I'd be thinking of using his in the middle.

[3] GC's strength is their midfield. If we can keep them under control, we should do well. But we should match up carefully.

[4] How Fantasia still gets games amazes me. Corey Durdin was good against Melbourne, but has been too quiet too often. How is he not better than Fantasia though? Fantasia has 1 goal in the seniors for the year and hasn't looked dangerous.

[5] Marchbank - he has to be a worry. If he can't play 3 weeks in a row, then he is done.

[6] Olli Hollands was brilliant against Melbourne for 3 quarters, but that's been it. He needs to stand up this round.
