Ask The Coach: Matlhouse

[Ricochet]

#AskTheCoach allows AFL Coaches to take over the @AFL twitter account and answer questions from the public


Mick gives little away but here are some of the relevant answers:


[in reply to: What are your thoughts on the interchange cap?]
AFL ‏@AFL  6m
.@mark_pin Change is inevitable, and we at Carlton half suspected it would be reduced. Our numbers in '13 are similar to the '14 requirement


[in reply to: hey mick, who out of the boys has been the big improver this pre season?]
AFL ‏@AFL  5m
.@lutwyche_25 Levi Casboult and Tommy Bell have come back determined to increase their number of games played from 2013 #AskTheCoach


[in reply to: Hi Mick, how are our KP stocks looking in particular Watson, Rowe and Waite ?]
AFL ‏@AFL  5m
.@rexyblue Pleasingly, all are fit. Could be considered stronger than last year and are looking forward to the start of the season.


[in reply to:hi Mick. Are there any surprise players who are pushing for selection? Anyone we should look out for?]
AFL ‏@AFL  5m
.@DrFrankenRant First-year players are unknown quantities, therefore NAB Challenge may sort some out #AskTheCoach


[in reply to: how has Andrew carrazzo been training, Mick?]
AFL ‏@AFL  5m
.@LachlanBotten Andrew's pre-Christmas training was excellent, and we're looking forward to that continuing before the season proper.


[in reply to: how are guys like everitt, docherty, and cripps training? Will we see them in the nab cup and early in the season?]
AFL ‏@AFL  4m
.@ayle_williams We would expect that all three will participate in the NAB Challenge, and put themselves in line for round one v Port


[in reply to: do Daisy Everitt Docherty & Cripps all make it into our best 22 ]
AFL ‏@AFL  3m
.@AdamMarzy30 We are a horses-for-courses team, but on ability and training, yes they do. #askthecoach


[in reply to: How's Hendo looking Mick? How will he be used this year?]
AFL ‏@AFL  2m
.@MattWalshMedia When he recovers from his minor operation, his position will be determined by the opponents we play #askthecoach


[in reply to: What role do you see Kade Simpson playing this year? More back than midfield?]
AFL ‏@AFL  1m
.@AFLDreamers Kade is one of the most courageous footballers I've seen, and he has an appetite to play wherever the team can benefit.


[in reply to: where do you see Andrejs Everitt spending most of his time? ]
AFL ‏@AFL  1m
.@steve_lust The great thing about Andrejs, is his willingness to want to improve his football, therefore he becomes a multi-position player


[in reply to: Will Walker and Yarran change roles or will they be similar to this season?]
AFL ‏@AFL  1m
.@C_Filippo23 Great question. Easily answered. Both have capacity to play at either end and will be used accordingly. #askthecoach
