At this early stage I'd say
In: Cuningham, Garlett
Out: Silvagni, O'Shea
To get rid of a bit of height and add some desperately needed run. Adelaide usually play all of Walker, Jenkins, Lynch and McGovern in the forward line so for once having four talls in the team might be ok.
The biggest in will need to be intensity and crazy physical pressure. Make the opposition play shit.

They’re good ins and outs.
I still had last year’s match against the swans on Foxtel storage and will delete now as I have rewatched it just then.
Key points- Carlton won this match without Silvagni (injured early) and without Gibbs or Murphy having big games. Structurally I thought this was an insightful match. I also realised they didn’t need Gibbs and Murphy to win.
Confidence building moments:
That came from Wright’s two or three goals 3rd quarter. It is surprising they don’t isolate him more as a target. He had a few more goal assists too.
Surprising point: weitering was in forward line and got 2 or 3 goal assists. That should be his aim- assisting if he is in the forward line.
Kreuzer was effective last quarter playing out of goal square taking marks.
Simpson and Ed curnow had a big match. They are leaders that have to lead.
So in relation to this week, I think your ins and outs are good but if Weitering and Kreuzer are fit .. bring them in and play them in forward line for sections of the match.
