Lord can't go with Daicos.   Not many can.

Surprised they bring in Lord with Hewett in.   Even if Cerra goes back to the wing we lack a bit of pace.

Maybe Hewett will be a late out and Flynn Young comes in to play the Jack Ison role.

Disappointed they have dropped Holland but can understand why.    Just hope they play him in the same role in the VFL and not as an inside mid.

Don't think Reidy has done much right all year, and his inclusion must be based on trackwork and a little bit of hope.

I've suggested this before (possible last time we played them) but i'd like to see Cottrell go to Daicos. He has the tank. He adds agression which Naicos doesn't like. Would get inside his head.

Worth a shot IMO.

Let's face facts, we have nothing else to lose.  Daicos will get 30 touches no matter what we do.  The aim of the exercise is to not let those possessions provide many results.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Cottrell could be a good match up for Daicos, and particularly with his ability to snag a goal or two and make Daicos defend.

I think that Lord could keep Daicos under control but not for the entire game.  I would be rotating three or four players on him but being prepared to stick with anyone who can really put the clamps on him.  By that I mean reducing his impact rather than shutting him down completely - that's not going to happen.

We need at least to ensure that anything ND does or tries to do is under a lot of pressure.
Reality always wins in the end.

Yes, you've won me on that one.

Yes, without going overboard I think that trying several players will make Daicos adjust his game as he tries to deal with different tactics and attributes.  We may even luck out and discover someone who can actually shut him down.

Realistically, we'd just be looking to limit his influence.

You need a player who is durable enough to push through the barrage of blocks and bumps the Filth will hand out to any Daicos opponent, a player who will want revenge rather than surrender, they have to be a little sacrificial, and not afraid to push back!

Anyway, are slam dumps now legal?

Couple of seasons ago Cottrell looked to be that run with player but injuries have cruelled him.

Our Mids and Rucks are generally too nice, we do not take any toll out on the opposition, this is despite being generally bigger and heavier than our opponents.

Maybe not Reidy though, he has a bit of a mean streak! ;)

Pies smashed Finn OSullivan who tagged ND last game, Anderson, Allan and McCreery piled in on every tackle/stoppage and the former seems to enjoy laying blocks and hurting other players.
The umpires need to stop that pile on at stoppages and award fee kicks against players who jump in after the contest is over and the whistle blown...ND just blew Osullivan off in the last and the Nth kid is quick but he was wrecked and couldnt raise a gallop.
