I can see the logic of leaving Sidebottom in with DeGoey and Mitchell out. However this coming game will be a big test for him. So far this season he seems to be struggling compared to most of our older players. If that continues this week, his place in the team should come under consideration. _________________ We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare.

Woweeeeee!!
Here's a stab at picking the 23 to beat Carlton...
b: Howe. Frampton. Maynard
HB: Markov. Moore. Quaynor
C: Josh Daicos. Pendles. Lipinski
HF. McCreery. McInnes. Nick Daicos
F: Elliott Mihocek. Hill
Ruck: Cameron. Crisp
Rover: Sullivan
IC: Cox, Macrae, Sullivan, Hoskin-Elliott...
SUB: Sidebottom
We still have ample top-end talent to beat this mob....
It will need a ferocious and determined effort from the first bounce and our on-ball brigade will need to at least break even with Cripps, Walsh and company.
If we go fast into the forward line, Nick Daicos may wreak havoc.
I am still bullish about a win between 12-25 points- If we get to 4 wins, 3 losses and a draw, we may begin to grow in the confidence needed to make an impression on the 2024 season. _________________ Firm in the belief that number 17 flag is only months away...

What's your rationale for dropping John Noble?
I'm not upset or anything - just curious. He's been pretty good since he came in I thought. _________________ We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.� |

simply think we need a bigger body off half back.
WHE should be in the team I listed with Schultz out btw. _________________ Firm in the belief that number 17 flag is only months away... |

Sidey will stay in, because we have lost years of experience with both JDG and Titch out.
And Sidey is ever the one to play a masterclass game when we desperately need it.
Two powerful midfielders are out, and our midfield looks vulnerable even with both playing.
We will need to replace them with two other mids.
Therefore, Fin and Sully to come in.
I think Fin will be selected in the 22, and Sully will debut as the sub. Other players, like Beau, Bruzza, occasionally Naicos, occasionally Lachie Schulz, will go in to reinforce the midfield, and suppress the attempted midfield bursts of Cripps and his cronies.
It will be essential to have another midfielder as the sub who can come on later in the game to replace any players exhausted by taking on the extra midfield load.
Looking forward to this game.
I am looking forward to seeing many of our guns (Crisp, bruzza, Beau, IQ, Jaicos) really lifting for this occasion. _________________ Free Julian Assange!!

Schultz should not be out in any scenario.
He is a hard nut, exactly what we need for this game. _________________ Free Julian Assange!!

Here is my (unconventional) side:
It is reported that Carlton has a vulnerable defense.
I'd put Howe up forward for the game. Give Dean a go in our backline.
B: Dean, Frampton, Maynard
HB: Quaynor, Moore, Crisp
C: Jaicos, Pendles, Lipinski
HF: McCreery, Mihocek, Howe
F: Elliott, McInnes, Hill
FOL: Cameron, Naicos , Sullivan
IC: Cox, Macrae, Noble, WHE
SUB: Sidebottom
Out: JDG, Titch, Schultz, Harrison
In: Dean, Sullivan, Macrae, McInnes _________________ Jamie Elliott...you beauty

I see an Omen in this match, the last Sullivan to play for the Magpies, was the immortal Harry Sullivan, who drove Barrassi nuts in the 1958 GF, helping us to the biggest upset flag in history. I reckon Lochie Sullivan, will drive the Blues nuts, and as back then, we will win an unexpected victory. over a much favoured opponent. !

With no Mitchell in and under and no JDG I expect Walsh and Cripps to get 70+ possessions between them. We are in big trouble I'm afraid. |

Yes, but we know the mental strength and courage of this team. They've shown us in the last few weeks that this has not deserted them.
They will rise for this occasion big time. _________________ Free Julian Assange!!

Would be nice if Sullivan had debuted in an 'easier' game. He is going first up against 2 of the best players in the league.
What a debut game, nowhere to hide, Friday night under the bright lights, against scum, in front of a full house, on the MCG, the Premiers going in as the underdog!.
I don't know how it will all go against the elite, but he can play footy. Turn the table's son, BOG.
Good luck to him. |

We've been kissed on the d!ck regarding injuries so far this year and have been mediocre.
Now that injuries have hit, we'll see where we are really at. _________________ Fighting against the objectification of woman. |
