Changes for Round 17 - Carlton

[111431]

Hayward must also be counting his lucky stars- I thought he was our by a mile

[waswan]

Ronke would be lucky to get a NEAFL game

Carlton dropped star recruit McGovern? If he's not injured, that's a big statement by the Blues that they are now getting serious.

KJ for Rose, that would have been big odds with the RWO selection committee.

Yes, you would have to think Carlton are sending a message out to their players. K Jack might be a farewell game I guess. Other than
that I can't see the point of playing him. Maybe Longmire thinks this season is still alive. Which it is technically.

Ridicules team selection
Ronke out
Cameron in

Cameron is still out injured so there was no chance he would be selected.

Cameron is still injured. Agree Ronke or Jack out and either Knoll or Amartey in.

I don't understand this change, unless as others have pointed out it is a farewell game.
Yes, Rose was ordinary last week but he is not going to prove he is AFL standard by playing NEAFL.

Kizza is playing his farewells...
It's going to be freezing at the game... bring out your uggies.

[Sandrevan]

Kieren Jack in??? What are they thinking?

Rose was not great last week but he was better than Ronke and Florent. Ronke was a spectator last week.

Bringing Jack back in looks like a farewell game at the SCG. The analysts and pundits will see Jacks return as ok but they haven't been watching him play THIS year. To me, his selection looks subtle tanking.

You can wear the Rampe Robe ????.

[waswan]

Kizza is fit, has played 2s you play him, no one holding him out
Play Rose thru the mid or not at all, waste as a fwd
Ronke couldnt hold me out of a game
Clarke deserves to play, does his job in the seniors and gets plenty in the 2s

[stevoswan]

Ronke was very lucky.....I would have gone Stoddart in for Ronke.

KJ looked good in his last seniors game before he got injured so if he plays like that for four quarters tomorrow, he will have justified selection.

I'm baffled by this week's selections.
1) Kreuzer is a much better ruck than Clarke. At very least Aliir needs support, and the only realistic option is Amartey, who has also played in defence and attack this year. Having an extra tall, gives the team more flexibility.
2) KJ - wasn't exactly brilliant against a bunch of plodders from the NT last week. Really don't see any logic in his selection given our ladder position and the likelihood of him being on our roster next year. Is this a sign that he might be backing up again for 2020?
3) Rose's omission is pretty harsh. Up until last week, he's been pretty good. He has one bad game and is gone. Ronke has played poorly all year, both in seniors and AFL yet keeps his spot?

Particularly given that McVeigh is coming back in via the 2's. First time this has happened, yet Jack by all reports has been average in the 2's. Would have thought McVeigh was a better option. MattW; I didn't say Stoddart was a small forward. If you read my previous post on Stoddart I advocated he play on the wing.

Jack topped the possessions in the 2s with 30.He surprised me and he has earned a place on merit.

No disrespect intended, but did you watch the game? Statistically he was sound but none of our mid fielders in that game warranted promotion. Their opponents are coming last and their players are either skinny, almost malnourished or overweight and looking like they need to go on lite and easy with Hodgey (I'm exaggerating a little but check out the footage). His disposal was barely at the elite level for NEAFL. The only player who looked a class above NEAFL that match was Stoddart.
