A thread for breaking down opposition games in relation to their threat to the WB. Key opposition players, other comments.
Which players / tactics could pose a threat.
round 1
Calrton
Judd again just dominates. Can be so damaging.
Great midfield, Murphy next most damaging player. Garlett - handy, Scotland Armfield. handy but not game changers.
Forward line is unsteady in front of gaol. Hampson, tall target but not highly skilled. They decided to make Walker a foward but also lacks skills and we should be able to negate him. In short, Dale, Brian, Tom should do well against them.
Richmondshould pose no threat to the dogs. should have never been allowed to challenge. Let in the door by some poor kicking. Opposite to Carlton, they have some handy Defensive and forward players but a pretty weak midfield by top 8 AFL standards. Deledio, despite a few clangers, is reliable. Reiwoldt is a freak. Negate the influence of those two and can't see them getting far. They do have some height and a few times were able to kick it in well using this advantage.
Talking point
Sub Rule - Jarrad Waite concussed. for a period of about 4 minutes, was given the once over by medicos. During this time, Carlton had just two players on the interchange. Kane Lucas was their choice in the green bib. All clubs will have to deal with this at some stage.
