IN: Silvagni, Binns, Evans
OUT: Fogarty (inj), Docherty, Carroll

We are going out with a 23 that consists of....
Weitering, Silvagni, McGovern, Haynes, Young.
How many (3rd) tall backs can you fit in 1 side.
I would've thought Young would have to miss.

It may point to further concern regarding Curnow.
Pittonet is there as an emergency,but Young could also fill that forward role if Charlie isn't there.

Evans? We're clearly tanking.

Dropping Carroll is a little surprising but the 19 y.o got a good taste and will work on his game.

Fog and Doc have been woeful and probably could have included Acres in the outs. Acres to play half forward/ third tall to relieve on the wing makes more sense for now.

Young will start on the bench.

Yes, Acres needs to extract the digit very quickly, enoughs enough.

Maybe Pitto is there in case TDK has decided to play for St.Kilda tomorrow....lol.

Against Coburg
Evans-18 disposals, second best in the tackle count , second in clearances, second in inside 50s, led the score involvements.

He may not have impacted at AFL level for us yet, but he will be replacing Fogarty and that's probably a specific role.

I'd go even further with your thinking.
If we don't beat the sniffers convincingly, our season is gone. I'd be tempted to blow it up and start again because if what we have can't beat the sniffers (and their dominant recent record over us is eembarassing) how can we ever hope to challenge against real teams?
And that means yep, Charlie would be up for trade well and truly.

Why would anyone whos been following the club since the year 2000 want to once again go to the draft pick well?

It doesn't work. The only club who bottomed out and then got good had afl sanctioned help. Everyone else has attempted to stay as competitive as possible, and the only ones who have fallen have sold the farm for magic beans that never grow into a stalk.

SOS did a good job with the list but the elongated pain we have gone through for 10 years, false hope and collected another couple of wooden spoon along the way has been an abject failure.

I'd be happy not having a top 3 pick every again.

Yep
I've come around to the 'trade for need in the present' is a superior strategy to the 'draft for the future' approach.

We've had more early picks than most clubs. When they break down, that's game over.

Also they all want big dollars to stick around unbalancing your list, and most of the time they're significantly more expensive than say a Patrick cripps taken at pick 13 and he has been better value than any number 1 pick we've had. Only weitering comes close.

Not sure why we would drop Carroll as he’s been far from our worst and can kick the ball.

Evans/Young/McGovern are all a worry

Fingers crossed!

Which Carlton will turn up this week, that's my only question. The version that played against the Cats will beat the 'Aints.
Last week's version will go down like the Titanic, Charlie or no Charlie.

Binns and Evans, there's two who will strike fear into the opposition🙄

Our line-up:

Carlton
B: [42] Adam Saad [23] Jacob Weitering [33] Lewis Young
HB: [4] Oliver Hollands [11] Mitch McGovern [26] Nick Haynes
C: [18] Sam Walsh [9] Patrick Cripps [20] Elijah Hollands
HF: [13] Blake Acres [10] Harry McKay [3] Jesse Motlop
F: [19] Corey Durdin [30] Charlie Curnow [38] Will White
R: [12] Tom De Koning [5] Adam Cerra [29] George Hewett
Int: [1] Jack Silvagni [25] Jaxon Binns [36] Cooper Lord [44] Francis Evans [2] Lachlan Cowan

Em: [32] Matthew Carroll [15] Sam Docherty [27] Marc Pittonet

I understand that Evans has had a few tackles in recent weeks, but he hasn't been kicking goals. That one makes me scratch my head.
I am also a bit surprised that Matt Carroll has been dropped. He will be back. But, considering how small St. Kilda's forward line is, I thought he'd play.
I am not surprised that Doc was dropped. He is struggling.
Pitto: I wouldn't mind having 2 rucks against Marshall, but ...
Charlie - I hope he is OK. But if he isn't 100%, then I hope we don't play him. Playing injured players is not a good strategy.

I think we should beat the Saints at the "G".....we should rebound after the Crows debacle, cant see us ever trading Charlie unless its a conflict with coach type issue or he has gone off the rails Oliver style. Im expecting Charlie and Harry to have big games vs smaller opponents, I think TDK will have a blinder and push his price up further towards 2 mill a season and have SOS and Ross salivating at what joy he will bring.

Love the optimism and hope you're spot on. I hold firm doubts about our ability to "be us" against this mob.

Go Blues
