Last time they met

Rd 12, 2017: Carlton 10.11 (71) d GWS 9.16 (70) at Etihad Stadium

  • Our best win of the season and biggest upset in years.
  • Matthew Kreuzer starred with 21 disposals, one goal, eight tackles and 33 hit-outs, earning three Brownlow votes.
  • Docherty 35 disposals and 12 marks 

What I'm excited about

  • The win last week! It could galvanise the group for the rest of the season as they really showed a spirit and affection for each other that hasn't been seen before
  • Younger players are playing with confidence and have now had a breakout performance as individuals and as a collective
  • The Cripps and Murphy show
  • Dow and O'Brien matching up against the likes of Kelly and Shiel


What I'm nervous about

  • Jeremy Cameron is back and will be desperate to gather some form leading into the finals
  • The win last week was such an emotional high that we are now in a let down spot
  • GWS as a team are making a charge to the finals and have much more at stake
  • The running power of the Giants could be lethal if we turn the ball over
  • Did I mention Jeremy Cameron?

Suggested changes

IN - Matthew Kreuzer | Nick Graham

OUT - Matthew Lobbe | Jarrod Pickett


I have changed my tune with Graham and after a 37 possession performance in the VFL, I don't have a problem with him being rewarded. Pickett had minimal impact in a game where we had an even spread of contributors.

Weitering could also come out with the corked leg, which could see the potential debut of Angus Schumacher?
