We are up against the Blues this Friday with four points and percentage lead over 2nd and 3rd on the ladder.
I think we are on our way to another trade ban, COLA adjustment or Academy neutering, even though our back six and front six are not considered elite (undersized and inexperienced respectively).
Carlton’s height is challenging, especially with TDK’s marking up front. He kept Lever out of the game vs Melbourne for most of the first half and then there is Curnow and McKay as well.
Hope McCartin is ok to come back in. Francis was not up to it on Friday, but he was ok in a few games last year, so he probably needs more game time to find form, but probably not against this tall team.
In the VFL, Hamling kicked four goals, Parker was strong (including booting the winning goal from outside 50) and Campbell had good stats (but don’t know how effective his disposals were).
Longmire doesn’t like large changes to a winning team so I think only Francis will come out for McCartin.
Parker could come in as sub possibly for Fox, with Wicks to be sub?
