Wouldn't think Boekhorst would get a game.

Not hard enough at it.

Casbault is a second rate player and we have a potential A grader in the VFL so why not give him a go. Can he do much worse the Levi?

Adds speed, marking power (possibly), and goal kicking.


Too reasonable post for a TC prediction.

Casboult wasn't great today but has been very good the previous month so stupid to drop him.

The idea KJ is a potential a grader is speculative at the extreme

WTEBF is the obsession of not playing him?

The idea KJ is a potential a grader is speculative at the extreme

He's not even b grade


Based on what evidence? 1 game
Go and look at Ratten's first 30-40 games
Simmo's first 10 games, in particular his first 3
I am NOT suggesting that KJ is in that bracket. I'm merely saying that sometimes you have to take a chance on some potential...THEN make an informed decision
Jack Watts is a perfect example

Please add up all the games that other b-c graders like Jones, Thomas, Casboult, White, Rowe, Buckley, Graham, Boekhorst, Sumner, Whiley et al have played under Bolton

Then divide that number by the number of players above. This will give you an average number of games played by b-c graders who most likely will not be at cfc by the end of the year or next year

All I ask is that KJ is afforded the same opportunity...nothing more, nothing less

Apologies for putting some rational thought into my obvious irrational obsession with KJ

It's so frustrating and disappointing to having to endure the repeated trade blunders namely securing of Jaksch and Boekhurst .
Let's hope this year's big clean out is the last and going forward due dillegence and accountability is the criteria.

Jaksch has played 7 games for Carlton.
But I also hope he is given one last chance to prove himself at some stage this year.

Given Levi has been given 8 years to prove himself I think it's reasonable KJ is given some time.

Either of Jones, KJ Macreadie could all come in as a mobile tall on NB form

I'd bring Pickett in

After watching Bullants today I am right on board with a Jacksch call up. Was very very good today

KJ's not even an B grader in the VFL so why does he deserve a run at AFL level. He played his first half decent game at VFL level against no opposition.
Take Levi out and we have no one to relieve Kruezer.

It would be madness. Won't happen not this week. IMO.

But we need run and so one of Cunningham, Polson or Boekhurst to replace Graham.
