I think it would be satisfying to win this one.

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

If this game was at Etihad I reckon we'd be a good chance.

At the MCG I believe the Hawks will love the time and space and we won't be able to cover the ground well enough to pressure them.

Pity.

In: Judd

Out: Garlett

If we need other changes due to injury fair enough but please don't reward Garlett with another game

He started really well, but that dropped mark will haunt him for a bit.

Hopefully a week out of the AFL side has freshened up Buckley. If so, I'd bring him in for Garlett.

Judd for Waite? More run.

I don't know if it's the luck of the Irish or if I'm missing something, but I'm not sure why Tuohy hasn't been dropped. The fact there's precious little coming from the VFL side to put pressure on him may be a key reason.

Good call ABNS, Buckley should be in as well.

Hawks will win by a goal with the umps helping them out with 3 or 4.


Seems to be the standard these days.

Agree ABNS. Tuohy has been ordinary (**Josh Bootsma, McInnes, Holman were the only likely replacements unless Lucas goes off the HBF again, or Everitt is redeployed). Hawks quite tall though re: Waite but he's offering SFA ATM. Is McLean in doubt with his performance/s?
Garlett to the NB's, just half arsed and short on commitment to the contest.
5 goals from Judd in his 1st state league level game or not good enough for a promotion. Actually be nice if he could consistently kick through the big sticks again....
**or Buckley replaces Tuohy...

How many will turn out to watch Juddy in the Magoos ?

There was a time when the G is what we craved rather than ES.

Have we gotten slower or just fearful of big grounds?

Me for one.

Remember our game against the last year? Where we barely got a free kick in the entire second half?

Gartlett is down on confidence with his marking, but last night he did much more good than bad. He busted a gut running, pressured their ball carriers and followed up his work and linked up play running into our forward line -- with more gut busting running. And he ran out the game, which as much as I love Menzel, it's something he cannot do at the AFL level.

imo there's more liabilities out there than Jeff right now. McLean's footspeed is a massive worry. He's moving like an embryonic foetus right now. Waite has lost all interest in AFL football. Doesn't move to contests, not only does he have any desire for the contest or the ball, he seems to spend his time jogging into areas of the field where he thinks the ball will not go to. He is the complete and utter definition of a passenger right now.

Watching Wookie's highlight reel of our game, i only spotted Waite once and he was nowhere near the ball.

Waite has lost the plot.
When was the last game he scored 2 goals? 3?

Better off adding run and create opportunity.

Everyone looks good in Navy Blue

If

Gibbs brings the same game,
Thomas brings the same game,
Murphy brings last week's game,
Simpson brings his Adelaide game.
Yarran brings his best game,
Judd jumps out of his skin, just being a fit Judd,
Armfield tags Rioli

And

We hit our forwad targets:

Henderson
Casboult
Menzel
Waite (couldnt care less if he doesnt play TBH)
Garlett or Robinson


WE might knock off these smug Hawks.

Oh yeah we'd need the umpires do something different to the last 20 years and be fair to Carlton if the game is close.
Umpires make me sick at this minute.
Impacting results, players' lives, and same with coaches, administrators and supporters.
And to think they choose to do the wrong thing.

Tuohy and McLean have to be a chance of being dropped.

He jibbed it twice, not once. Back to the twos for 4 weeks minimum

If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you!

Atm it appears as if henderson is a stay at home forward with casboult on the bigger/longer leads - As a stay at home forward, henderson is offering nothing atm. Casboult/henderson should either swaps roles or henderson should be thrown to the back line (with white forward). Imo, waite & garlett should stay in the team for the rest of the year. Their upside when they click outweighs the negatives atm

For myself,
Out - touhy, mclean
in - buckley, judd

We'll win this with help from the umpires who will be stung into action after copping it.
