Re: AFL Rd 11 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS Reply #30 – May 21, 2025, 08:39:29 am The Midgets are in very ordinary form and missing key play makers. We tend to do alright against sides in this predicament... well, excluding the Fluffy Ducks game!The lads will be smarting after the Fluffy Ducks game and have too much character to capitulate/put in a poor one. The coaching group can support the lads by encouraging a focus on run and spread... boldness.Hopefully some of those 'tests' (TDK, Acres, Fog & JSOS) come up. Doc will probably return, in the Magoos he seems to have worked on disposal by foot and eliminated the kick and hope, and balloon kicks. Cinc was rusty early in the Magoos but improved as the game wore on... sub? Billy Wilson? Lemmey for Young? More time up forward for Crippa? Quote Selected

Re: AFL Rd 11 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS Reply #36 – May 22, 2025, 12:39:18 pm That's what I would have thought...and there is an article on OKeefe on the club website. If It's one of them I suspect it will be HOK. Quote Selected

Riley Beveridge is going with O'Farrell which makes less sense to me...but may be cover for Silvagni missing Quote Selected

I'm think he comes in for JSOS. Young will play forward possibly. The 3 talls is working ok up forward. Also means we get to pick less small forwards, which can only be a good thing right now...lol. Guessing our best smaller forward in Williams will return. Quote Selected
Re: AFL Rd 11 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS Reply #41 – May 22, 2025, 01:42:14 pm To be fair O'Farrell did have a fairly good game (maybe his best?) last week in the magoos. It's nice to see a player get rewarded for a change. Quote Selected
Re: AFL Rd 11 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS Reply #42 – May 22, 2025, 01:45:26 pm I thought he was still a way off, but he has shown some glimpses...good luck for his debut. Quote Selected
Re: AFL Rd 11 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS Reply #43 – May 22, 2025, 02:45:52 pm Maybe we are looking at development now for the rest of the season, I probably would have gone with another running type like Wilson or Charleson if we are experimenting vs GWS who play pretty football and like to spread and run.Looking for opponents he might be suited to down back I reckon Cadman would be the most likely size wise and also has the least experience and maturity.Good luck Harry and may you be a winner like your father usually is at the tribunal....

Re: AFL Rd 11 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS Reply #44 – May 22, 2025, 02:49:23 pm Starting to get to the time of the year where we need to think about some list management for 2026 and beyond.Will Haynes go around again given his age?Is McGoverns body going to continue to deterioate to the point we can't rely on him.Will he be able to cover for Jack Silvagni if he is collatoral damage from keeping TDK on the list?Can we afford to trade away Young to the highest bidder?I reckon it might be a bit too soon for HOF at AFL level, but if it helps answer the above questions, why not give him a go.
