Discussion 2023 Round 7: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Athomas]

Doc playing midfield tonight. Kemp has looked good in defence.

No idea what we do with our defence going forward, but good signs for Cincotta/Kemp if Doc is going to play mids.

 

[Maccas marvels]

For Blues fans out there watching the game,
how do you rate Cincotta’s job security after seeing the first half tonight with Doc and Saad back?

 

[Creeker]

Has there ever been a Jaidyn Stephenson ratio of 22 to 0 ?
Razor sucked all the confidence out of the lad with that double 50 free kick.
Lucky Phil Carmen and John Bourke were not out there tonight.

Fair to say Ginbey over Hollands hasn't been my greatest decision... Would have to be a fair chance of being subbed out too to really stick the knife in!

Honestly really had to judge, and similar to what Athomas said above, doc has been playing in the middle so its just a matter of if that will continue or not. Kemp has been pushing for selection for a few weeks now and has demanded this chance and has been good so far. Ive said it a few times recently in different threads, but im expecting Boyd back at any moment, he had his 2nd game back in the VFL today so I only think its a matter of time. I think its clear that Carlton are trying a few different things (ie with Doc in middle) so I cant really say Cincotta does, or doesn't have JS. However FWIW, I will be picking Cincotta next week if he keeps his spot

 

[Weedys Crop]

JVR is going to get subbed if he doesn't get a move on.

 

[Dazza]

Can anyone tell me where Ginby’s hiding, haven’t seen him all night

[Shannon]

At the game - Ginbey is clearly playing sore, kid needs a rest.

Not covering the ground like he was earlier in the season

Does the goal umpire at the opposite end of the field no longer signal, via flag waving, scores at the opposite end of the field?

Real funny after watching a great kid have a potentially career ending injury.

Just to be clear, when I made the comment I didn't realise that there had been an injury. Sometimes there are other things in life happening ie cooking dinner for the family, that we don't keep up with all the goings on in a football game.
I haven't seen it, but from the comments it doesn't sound good, so I hope he has a good recovery and it's not career ending as you suggest.

 

[KLo30]

JVR is going to get subbed if he doesn't get a move on.

Why?

If he doesn't fire up in the second half they might lose?

They will put him higher up the ground and make him work, or isolate him at FF. Either way they will use this as a learning experience at the top level.

Giving Ginbey the same half time bake I gave Oskar Baker at half time, it worked a treat then and Im hoping it does the same for Gimpey!

16 from 4 touches with lethargic running as a mid isn’t going to cut it…

Not bad for a witches hat.

Cheers @Johnsy44, appreciate it.Hopefully he has taken Cowans spot and he is mid 40’s at half time so will make some genuine quick cash if selected next week….
Just hoping rookies like Cincotta, SMitchell and Johnston hang around long enough for the byes when we will need them..

 

[Vicwood]

Watching the blues game.
Cripps is having a blinder. Newman has his own sherrin. Charlie looks in a mood.

Think the Eagles need to give Ginbey a rest before a major injury happens. The kid looks physically tired.

 

[Dazza]

Mitchell was towelling up Weightman and we subbed him out for tactical reasons, and we left Ramsden and Greene on who had no impact. Surely Michell was injured

Not the reason you lost. The umpires had it in for the Hawks in the last quarter.
