Wont be like playing the witches hats we played on Saturday this week. They have copped it in the media lately after pumping Melb in there only good game of the year - they will be keen to play well in a marque game they have against us.

Larkey seems to grow taller playing us. One forward that seems to really bother Weiters.

Also their coach loves to rub our nose in it (still never forgive him for what he did to stop Fev kicking his 100)

Will take Voss to be at his best to have a win in the coaches box against this pr1ck and anything but full 100% effort by our blokes wont get it done this week.

North at $3 is way overs imo. Good test for us

Xerri is the inform, dominant ruckman in the competition right now, we need Pittonet to play in tandem with TDK so Xerri is under constant pressure in the role.
I can assure you he is NOT the dominant inform ruckman of the competition right now and as I suggested earlier he may be carrying an injury.
Cameron is the best ruck in the comp at the minute IMHO.

He'd have to be pretty close EB, although I thought Grundy took the points on Friday ... and Gawn is still performing well despite Melbourne's woes.  I'd have Tom ahead of Xerri based on his work around the ground.

North's go to second ruck is Jack Darling so it doesn't really matter who does that role for us; Crippa might improve his ruck stats  :)

Hands down the best.

Tend to agree. Pitto can provide the muscle.

Xerri will smack him into next week and he'll get injured.

Xerri has battled with a hamstring complaint since the Crows game.  
Getting him running around as much as possible! Double team him and wear him into the dust!

Our last game against them.....
https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/2024/031220240721.html

Xerri had 43 hitouts and 11 clearances, 16 touches
TDK had 19 and 8, 15 touches.

We won the game by 3 goals.

Earlier in the year....

Xerri had 32 hitouts and 10 clearances, 13 touches
TDK had 31 and 4, 13 touches.

We won the game by 10 goals.

I'm not worried about Xerri.

I’m worried that he’ll break Tom’s ribs again, or that Tom will get in first and will face a lengthy suspension.

Defense has been good all year - need two forwards to come in and leave Crippa as a key forward this week.
Lemmey and Lij

Lemmey having five touches, hitting the score board once one tackle and three hit outs would be alot more long term benefit than persisting with Young who would have roughly the same output..

Yep, getting top heavy with talls and having players who can only play one position like Pittonet wont work imo.
Nth have been on the ropes this week with Clarkson getting hammered over their lack of rebuild success and the master coach is going to want to show they are on the right track and will treat this game as a final given Nth rarely feature in any big event games and we need to get team selection right.

*facepalm*

May as well play Moir out of FF. Might only get half the possessions, but will get double the goals.

If we are making that many radical MC changes, the list health situation must be worse than the club is letting on.

Can someone now please explain how it can be that Russell got the kyboshed?

I'm all for Voss and Cook, in Cook we trust, but it's clear something is quite right, but the good thing is just like the old Carlton if we don't know neither can the opposition! ;)
