Ill bet you whatever you like that if he plays this week, he'll be out next week with an injury. The bloke cannot be depended on and must be moved on along with Cunningham and Marchbank. We need to replace them with some reliable and durable back ups, not neccessarily superstars (although it would be nice) players who you can rely upon week to week.

I hope you’re proved wrong G2C … but I wouldn’t put money on it.

I think that we might have to add the Durdin cousins to that list.  Williams and McGovern are fragile too but they do manage to string together several games of pretty good footy.  Depth is only depth if it’s durable.

Thats pretty close to our strongest possible side IMO.

Swap Pitto and TDK.
Maybe throw in Williams.
Wouldn't change anything else

If you only play 15mins does that count as a game?

Martin for Williams is the only other change for our strongest side IMO

Pity we couldn't win a milestone game to save ourselves.

I hope Ollie Hollands is the sub.

He always has a crack but I don't think that we can afford to have any of the other four as the sub.

Only 5 players missing from pies 2023 premiership team.
Mihocek - Pec (8-10 weeks)
Mitchell - Foot (TBC)
Markov - Omitted last week "Personal reasons" ??
Ginnivan - Hawthorn
Murphy - Retired

In their place...
Noble - Played 23 H+A games in 2023, dropped for finals
McStay - Missed GF due to getting Injured in the prelim
Schultz - Fremantle
Long - Hawthorn
Bytel - St. Kilda

So, on paper.....they are about as strong as they could be as well.....yet are horribly out of form.....like us.....but we are odds on favourites???

De Goey a decent in for them, he and Elliott normally give as grief. Alot of dangerous players for us to get on top of. Pencil in their 400 gamer for a huge one. Watch His teamates will pay him the respect Crippa deserved for his 200th milestone.
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

McStay doesnt fit with their system imo and Mihocek is a big loss.
Schultz has been a fail
Long is a ordinary player who Hawks flicked.
Bytel...see Long
Noble...good footballer
DeGoey wont be fit and might be a last minute out

I think we have them well covered and Martin might have a good impact like he usually does first up after injury and we deserve to strong favourites...

Just defend stoppages better! and we will be right if we bring the aggression four quarters will grind them down... but defending stoppages is number one priority and need to get this part of our game right and also locking the ball in forward 50.
