Carroll did OK, but his opponent was BOG.Agree i prefer to keep getting games into Cowan. I see a long future for this kid. Quote Selected 4 Likes
Re: AFL Rd 22 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn Reply #46 – August 07, 2024, 05:05:56 pm I would think that Williams and Kennedy will go into the starting 22, with Carroll the likely sub. Quote Selected 1 Likes

We don't have a good record in milestone matches in recent years. Back in the day, we NEVER lost a milestone game. Quote Selected 1 Likes

Re: AFL Rd 22 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn Reply #51 – August 08, 2024, 03:38:11 pm Given their small forwards, I can see Cowan coming into the side as a lock down defender on one of them. Saad, Newman and Boyd tend to be more rebounding/running defenders.....Cowan might get the gig on Ginnivan. Quote Selected
Re: AFL Rd 22 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn Reply #52 – August 08, 2024, 03:51:00 pm I read an article a few weeks ago where Ginnivan stated he has a certain license to roam, and that Mitchell does not play a rigid system like McRae. Ginnivan IMO is emerging as a legitimate footballer, after being essentially a circus sideshow act at the Pies. I think Cowan would be in for a tough day if he had that match up.

Re: AFL Rd 22 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn Reply #57 – August 08, 2024, 06:53:02 pm The players we have selected this week are all we have left. Eight players who I consider should be part of the selection discussion are out through injury and only a couple are likely to be back this season. I believe we have a very good list and the fact we are able to put a half decent team on the park is testament to this. We should win this week but we should have won over the past five weeks. Need to turn up and play four quarters. Quote Selected
