Hodgey was defending him, so he'll get off on the good bloke rule.
@#$%&! he's a dirty cauliflower. No point whatsoever in doing that.

A thug!

Dennis kicked a clutch goal and in the last he had no choice. We are three goals down with three mins to go and he has a chance to burst past a defender and run into an open goal. It didn't come off. He probably shouldn't play on next year I agree but if that tackle didn't stick, he's got another two for the week. It was a far less serious error than the Murphy and Gibbs turnovers or the Docherty rundown which put us in the situation where we had to take risks.
Casboult only had one bad turnover tonight. He didn't have a bad game at all. Whipping boy. 9 marks and a goal from him. Not a bad night's work.
Thomas I agree.
White will get pushed out soon enough.

What's up (with) Doc this year? He's lost the plot.

I thought Casboult was good (I agree about the whipping boy comment). Charlie was terrible but he needs to stay in the team.

Sad to say it but its all over for Armfield. I think White has had it too.

Thomas got 19 possessions and apart from the odd stuff, did ok.

We need more hands on deck in the midfield and we need pace. But today ... I could see there is something to work with.

Out: White, Armfield.

In: Cunningham (for pace), Palmer (for grunt).

I think we match up better against Melbourne than most sides. The Bummers will have way too much pace for us. I don't want to see the Essendon* match ... I can't stand them.

Casboult had the worst 3rd qtr imaginable the rest of his game was actually not bad. First and last qtrs were good. Much better suited when he is playing around the ground than up forward. He's not a natural forward. Pick another key forward and let him focus on rucking.

Probably no need to play White or Thomas again. They are excellent leaders but just not that good for different reasons. We need less height in defence and more midfield run. I won't bag Thomas, once a real gun, as the game has passed him by due to injuries. But he should be playing.

I'm want a little less height in defence, and more midfield run. Then maybe pick Jaksch or McKay to back Weitering up on the forward line.

Based in today's NB praccy, Cunners playing is wishful thinking.

Really want 2 of Sheehan, Palmer or Kerridge coming in. Sheehan for White would be fantastic.

At his best is one of our shining lights. But he can butcher the ball with the best of them. Even last year his disposal at times was very ordinary.

Armfield must make way for Palmer, Boekhorst, Cunningham, Sumner or someone who has a better game due to their footy smarts and skill. Just bombs the ball whilst everyone focuses on Thomas. Samo made a few errors in traffic yet he had more poise around the ground.

The coach will front the media shortly. Tweets to follow. #AFLDeesBlues #BoundByBlue
Bolton: That was one that got away. We're disappointed and frustrated.
Bolton: Today was a really good learning opportunity for our young group. I couldn't fault our effort.
Bolton: We were slow out of the blocks and didn't use the ball very well going inside 50.
Bolton: Thomas gave real effort.
Bolton: Macreadie showed really good signs. Petrevski-Seton used the ball well. They're going to be really good players for us.
Bolton: Our club hurts after every loss. We're young and we're developing, but internally we have high standards.

Casboult had 4 bad turn overs all in 3rd quarter 2 of them were 15 metre kicks and couldn't hit the target
Dropped a dolly in goal square and completely loses contact after going for a mark I think he closes his eyes
I have absolutely no faith in Bolton whilst this guy lines up every week.
We have had some spuds up forward like Mclaren Deluca Ohalpin Hartlett Jones but I would have any of them in front of this bloke.

Setanta was a better forward option than Levi.
Too many bad turnovers at crucial stages cost us the game.
Frustrating.

if Casboult is our second ruck, dump him, I'd rather have a runner, let someone else relieve Kruise.
if Casboult is a key forward - as soon as we have a forward ready, dump him, he is not a key forward.
We should be looking for development to make us a better side,

I think the players I mentioned being replaced (by better players) would make us a significantly better side.

Gee, I thought the kids showed a bit.

...and Setanta could kick arse at times too

As I said, Casboult had an all time shocker of a 3rd qtr but the rest of his game was pretty good given he told 9 marks. Could've had 11 or 12 marks with an extra goal with a half decent 3rd qtr.

Had one tall too many in the back. Need Byrne back ASAP. Good signs for the future. Doherty had too much on his plate.

What was wrong with his work around the ground. Took more than double the marks Kreuzer did. I think back-up rucking is his role as he is not a natural forward.

At the game. Casboult was woeful. He doesn't lead. Doesn't kill the contest. Useless when it hits the ground. If he kicks a goal a game, may as well play Phillips when fit or Harry

Casboult used to be good at bashing a pack, but he hadn't even done that this year.
