Will we get to see the secret game plan?

Let's hope the boys can show us something...

Marchbank Cripps Cuningham
Sumner Casboult Wright
SOJ Charlie Lebois
Kreuzer Murphy Gibbs
From; Curnow Fisher Jaksch Palmer
McKay Smedts SPS (if fit)

Why Jaksch?

Reward for good training or just to throw him in before the season starts?
I am asking b/c:
a) I thought we were gearing up to have our best squad for the last JLT match
b) I read his omission from the squad against StK as a bad sign for him......

?

34 degrees forecast for Perth on Saturday - game starts 5.40pm WA time

The best 22 can still be selected plus with the extended bench 4 fringe players to be tested, but then again we need to see players who haven't been given a JLT game.

Casboult vs Gorringe

KJ....I'd like to see that.

Sumner...I'd like to see that.

So has Sumner played at all? JLT or NB? or have I missed something?

Assuming we have a full list to pick from other than Buckley, Byrne, COS*, Gallucci*, Gorringe, Phillips & SPS....

Simmo Weitering Plowman
Docherty Marchbank E Curnow
Kerridge Cripps Cunningham
Wright Casboult SOJ
Armfield Jaksch C Curnow

Kreuzer Gibbs Murphy

Inter: Palmer, Pickett, Smedts, Sumner


Fisher, Macreadie, McKay, Polson, Williamson, Korcheck* and LeBois* have had a taste of senior footy - which is what practice matches are for - but I don't think they are quite ready to play round 1. Their time will come. This game needs to be a full dress rehearsal for 23 March.

We still have plenty of youth in the above side (7 players who have played less than 30 games).

Jaksch probably won't get picked, but I would give him the nod this week ahead of Jones & McKay.

I wouldn't mind seeing SOJ tried in the backline at some stage. Depending on match ups, perhaps he & Plowman can swap at some point?

Palmer & Smedts get a game but really there's not much separating them and the likes of Boekhorst, Graham & Lamb for mine. We could substitute Palmer for Graham and it wouldn't make much difference, IMO.

Backline looks lacking a bit of muscle without Rowe, but I think we need the extra run. I couldn't fit Rowe in, but there will be a role for him some weeks against some opponents this year. Might not be round 1 though.

I'd like to see us move on quickly from Jones, Thomas & White though. That trio can offer our VFL side some leadership as our kids develop......

Looking at that midfield makes you realise what a massive talent gap exists between our quality veterans (Gibbs & Murphy) and our young talent (SPS, Fisher, Polson, Cunningham & C Curnow). The only thing in between is Cripps (22). All our midfielders in that 23-28 age bracket are battlers (E Curnow, Graham, Kerridge, Palmer, Wright). It's like we missed an entire generation of quality on-ballers.....

If you read the article on the Carlton website it mentions Rowe played all 22 games last year, finished 6th in the B&F with the most TOG% of any Carlton player and the most 1%ers in the entire league.

Chances of him not playing are very very slim.

You're probably right. The side just looks a bit cumbersome to me with Rowe, Casboult & Kreuzer.

In all likelihood, Rowe will play back alongside Weitering, Marchbank & Plowman. Jacksch won't be selected and C Curnow will be the 2nd marking target.

Saw him at the game on Saturday and overheard him tell someone that he went alright, so I guess he played VFL.

Perhaps he was mentioned and I missed it? Hope he gets a chance to show something against Freo.


BTW I love Polson's attitude in the video interview. Goal is to play against Freo, play well and get selected for Round 1..none of this... Take time to learn what's required....
Good attitude!
