I hadn't heard that I only read last week from some Carlton folk that he will miss the first month of the season.
If neither side's at full strength than woulda, shoulda, coulda remains as always an irrelevant argument. Simply a matter of run what ya brung n take whatever ya get.
Looks good smokin.
I think Mansell if we need a lock down defender on say a Martin maybe otherwise Hugo could get that role which allows Aarts to come in and Mansell as the sub.
Pity about Grimes and Vlas though.
It does ToO.
This is why KMac and Pickett must drift back and also why Nank and Soldo must both play.
A good early test of the structures we have put in place.
Hope we don’t blink and throw Balta or Baker back.
The likes of Miller or Biggie aren’t going to make a magical difference. Inexperience.
We have lost Vlastuin and Grimes through injury. And then Astbury and Houli through retirement. That’s shitload of experience gone. They can’t be replaced.
The only other option is starting Balta down back but I can’t see the match committee doing it.
We are going to bank on the players up the ground to do the heavy lifting and deny Carlton entries into their forward 50. It’s pretty cliche but the team who wins the midfield will win this game.
I don't think they'll start Balta back, but Dimma didn't rule it out.
Have to watch out for Kennedy.
Was virtually BOG versus the Dees.
He drifted forward as an offensive side mid, the link to the forwards.
At times, he was virtually left unchecked, no blocker.
Was damaging in the first half, when the game was up for grabs.
With Grimes and Vlaustin out, hopefully Hugo plays as a lateral HBF.
They have a nice mismatch in height between McKay and Fisher, the crumber.

Maybe we have Soldo do most of the ruck in the middle and put Nank down back for long periods and Balta can ruck in the forward line.
With the ability to move the ball to forward 50 from half back seemingly easier now we need a good defence.

Relax Melbourne were on holidays.
Kennedy is a dud.. slower then Ben Lennon.
And he was turtle slow
Nonsense.
Melbourne was virtually a full strength team.
He had 7 inside 50s and was instrumental in the highlights.
He was a pivotal part of the Blues new planning and caught Goodwin unawares.
