Goodwin hinted at two weeks.

Thanks

Fritsch forward to replace Tom.

Gawn back in his usual brilliance. 2 weeks for a sprained ankle is about right.

Keep Preuss in. He’s a great mark and a long kick. He had a good game today.

Lever to the backline to replace Hore. 

Maynard or Jordon in for potential and development. They did well at Casey. The Wagners are just no good.

How close is Nev to a call up? Is 1 VFL game enough? Jetta into the backline, Fritsch forward?

Spoke to him before game today. He hopes to be available for selection this week. 

[titan_uranus 25,016]

Gawn to replace TMac is probably fine, although we don't want to be too tall at Marvel against the Dogs.

I can't see a good argument for OMac getting Petty's spot, the more so if Lever comes in for Hore. I'd like more run, whether that's JKH or J Wagner.

[Deecisive 1,709]

i would like to see ANB replaced, his 15 disposals at a 54% efficiency rate was again poor. he needs to go back to casey and learn to dispose of the ball and kick straight. It will be good to have lever in next week, though something needs to be done about the way Frost, May and Lever play together. Frost often goes for the mark and or the punch and too often has had May crashing into the the pack to punch the ball, which often takes out half of our back line players and allows the opposition to run into goal.

Lever for Petty, Gawn for Tmac and Jordan for Hore.

[DubDee 25,856]

Saw the Lewis bump again. 

Late got him flush in the head. Probably low impact but it was intentional. Think that might be a week still but not expert in all the BS rules

Agree $1000 fine at worst

Fox Sports “If Match Review Officer Michael Christian grades the incident as careless conduct, low impact and high contact, Lewis would receive a fine.”

We manged to keep the ball locked in our fwd 50 for most of the first half and ANB we great with his run, chase and pressure. No way he goes out. I think it'll be injury replacement only, if Gawn is ready then he'll bully English and it should be a big advantage. Lever will be back as well. I think they'll also bring in omac for petty, so the same team structure is kept

Who says Petty will miss? Lots of players play a week following a concussion.

I like Frost forward idea

Fast, defensive run covers the switch

Will hopefully have Preuss forward 

Frosty is up there among my favourite players  Graeme YM 

Love his enthusiasm  and the excitement he brings

However, my heart could do without the “excitement “ of Frostball kicking for goal

Well, where do we start?

Jake Lever replaces Marty Hore (collar bone) ✅

Max Gawn replaces Tom McDonald (knee) ✅

Oscar McDonald replaces Harry Petty (concussion) ✅

Was Petty’s Concussion that severe?

I dunno

Torp from 60 would be good

Nev only played a half, so I doubt they will bring him in

[Skin Deeamond 339]

Why do Carlton supporters boo fair goals that the opposition team kicks?

Would be a decent chance to miss anyway with Lever coming back in. Don't need 4 tall defenders against the Doggies IMO.

To replace Tommy Mac

Lever is back

Because Frost was sooooooooo good as a forward last time we tried?

Yeah, nah.

Don’t disagree but with Hore a definite out I think Lever will play a sweeper role. Frost and May can both play small and I think Petty has showed enough to be given as much experience as possible at the top level.

agreed

(now you watch - christian always goes suspension-hunting after a pies loss...lewis to cop a week or two guaranteed)

are we 100% sure that gawn will be right to go? will they bring jetta back despite his form looking less than ideal in the magoos?

IN: lever, gawn, j wagner
OUT: t mac, hore, petty

if lewis goes then you'd expect baker would be back in or jordon may debut

tbh i'd probably take either of those over j wagner, but they might want extra mid-size defensive coverage

won't play jetta. he only got a 1/4 in the magoos

Definitely not against Petty playing, but on a quick deck against a 'smaller' quicker team I would guess the selection committee would be looking at changing up the mix of talls anyway.

You’re probably right. I guess winning is not really a motivator for me at this stage of the season. I look forward to seeing the kids develop and getting something positive out of this horrible year. 

[DubDee 25,856]

We are only 3 wins plus % out of the 8!!!!
