So whilst Tom Hawkins is having a day out we take the bloke who before he was injured was the leading intercept mark in the game and play him on the wing.
Meanwhile White runs around like a headless chook. Graham goes back to 2's has a BOG and three other midfielders and one winger are in the 2's with him.
Then when smacked coach says we lacked midfielders.
What ever he did or tried to do didn't work and just like every other coach that stuffs up looks for an excuse.
I still have my doubts about the Cliche Kid

I think we can agree to disagree on this one but the one thing we can all agree on is I wish our midfield had Sydney Blue's never say die tenacity to fight against the odds.
Watch his press conference and come back and revisit it.
We were smacked.
He noted his lack of run in the middle.
He said they lacked ability to slow the Geelong entry.
He had 4 or 5 midfield players he could have selected playing in the NB .But he chose a flanker.
Ok you can say the blokes in the 2's are not part of the plan going forward. But neither is the flanker he selected.
He has basically said to those in 2's there is no future for you here.He has also sent a message to any midfield player of quality who is considering coming to the club .There is no support for you.
How can I be wrong when the result and the game reflected his own comments.

I'm glad someone in the club has the balls to say the things that need to be said, if of course he said that.
Whether its Jaksch or Graham or Gorringe. If they are not the future and cant add value to the team then lets not waste time on them.
That's my assumption, and if that's the case, so be it.
Sticking to a plan should be commended.
As for calling BB the Cliché King, I don't think to a degree that's what all coaches do, as do politicians.
If they don't, the content hungry journos are going to make mountains out of mole hills.
That's what I think a frustrated Sydney Blue is doing. Just happens to be BB in his line of fire.
We don't bat deep Sydney. Graham wouldn't have made a difference in the coal face.
The season is over.
We have a thin list.
We've been exposed for lack of depth when hit by injuries. We all knew that would happen.
We were told in 2016 we had the worse list in the AFL, and some suggested worse list ever.
WE were told Carlton couldn't win more than 1 game in the last 2 seasons.
We won 7 games last year and we've won 5 games this year. The euphoria following those wins was unbelievable.
Nothing wrong with the saying (SB calls cliché) don't get too high or too low. I understand that.
Graham has proved time after time, year after year, that he is not a good midfielder at AFL level.
It is obvious that BB and the MC value White and Marchbank more than Graham.
It is obvious that Bolton prefers to give more game time in the midfield to SPS, Cunners and Fish.
I can see why. Everyone knows we need to get 50 games of experience into our kids.
Graham would not have helped us get over the line.
Simpson was a green shoot many years ago after his 3rd game, and now its SPS, Fish, Cunners etc because its their turn.
I know what BB means by green shoots. They aren't clichés, they are a body of evidence these players have potential and they belong.
Don't get so down.
Malthouse is gone, and with that a bygone era. Thank god for that!
BB is a shining light. Sydney doesn't have to agree like posters don't have to agree with Sydney Blue.
Its worth the discussion though.
Was the omission of Graham a huge Bolton mistake along with his clichés?
Was the omission of Graham evidence Bolton can't coach or able to select a team to beat Geelong?
I think Bolton is investing in the future and Graham's papers are stamped for good reason.
