Match Thread Round 10, Swans v Carlton.

[dejavoodoo44]

Florent drops to sub. Which might be bad timing for him, given how good Mills looked in his half a VFL game.

Probably a few showers during the game and with the recent rain, it's going to slippery conditions. So it might be a pretty scrappy game. Hopefully we put together enough coherent moments for the win.

[Foreign Legion]

Well I guess the stage is set for Sheldrick - full game and conditions will suit.

I would play Wicks on Saad - yeah I know Wicks has been great in defence but Carlton get a lot of drive from Saad.

[imuninformedtwo]

Wicks should get Motlop

And Florent to sub says Cox is prepared to make a hard call. I’d like Ollie to succeed, but it’s where his game is right now.

[Foreign Legion]

I wonder due to the rain if they thought of making Ladhams the sub? Unusual I know but it looks pretty wet.

[Foreign Legion]

Looks like we have the 'slip over' boots on again!

[UUaswan]

We are nowhere when the ball hits the ground

[Foreign Legion]

Considering the inside 50s are 8 to 17 we are doing ok

[imuninformedtwo]

I know I bang on about it but Grundy’s ruck work is deadset awful. He’s getting smacked by a B-grader.

We are lucky to be as close as we are given the statistics. If that continues all night we will get beat by 50+.

Our basic skills are deplorably bad at times - can't hit team mates two metres away with a handball, can't kick ever to advantage of a forward. I know its slippery and a bit wet but that shouldn't stop basic skills being executed. We could try the Carlton throw way (very Bulldogs like) in some of their close contest work, doesn't seem like a throw is going to get called anytime soon.

[Foreign Legion]

How do we get a HTB??? Player spun around 3 times with the ball then handballs - play on.

[UUaswan]

Someone tell Corey he is a left footer, if he is on his left use it

[dejavoodoo44]

Lucky break, but since they've ignored a lot of frees, I'll take it.

[UUaswan]

Transition defence would have to be the worst in league

[imuninformedtwo]

Lucky kick from Gus to Juzzy, but he’s been good

[UUaswan]

Blakey fwd,Hamling back please

Blakey is an All Oz, wake up coach get him into the game
