Trying every little possible bit of detail to fuel your agenda. Face it, his his dual role this year Casboult has had a good year. That's why he is attracting interest and why Carlton wants to keep him. Kreuzer and Casboult have been the best ruck combo in the comp this year.

Replace boekhorst, buckley, graham and sumner with cripps, cunningham, ed curnow and tom williamson, and we win this game.

Not scoring 100 points in a game for 27 games is becoming a bit concerning

Trouble is Rick a lot of the players who played today can't kick on either foot.

Is this true?!?!?

oh is that what you meant

Clearly......

we're going through our Greg Chappell
period...!


kindest regards tommi

Injuries shouldn't be used as an excuse for how we played today.

Dogs would have liked Boyd, Boyd, Crameri, Jong for selection....

We tried, but just fell down on the skill levels and execution

For those who think Graham and Kerridge hurt us (includes me sometimes although I though Kegga was good today) take a look at their stats compared to Murphy. I'd never drop Murph in a million years but his output is really poor. The other two have better stats in almost every category.

GRAHAM
65% efficiency
15 efficient disposals
10 contested possessions
6 clearances
6 inside 50's
1 goal
2 goal assists
4 score involvements
4 tackles
3 clangers

KERRIDGE
76% efficiency
23 efficient disposals
12 contested
3 clearances
2 inside 50's
1 point
1 goal assist
4 score involvements
2 tackles
5 clangers

MURPHY
62% efficiency
17 effective

1 clearance
3 inside 50's
0 points
1 goal assist
4 score involvements
4 tackles
5 clangers

I know we're starting from defense and building into attack, are we doing the same thing by training players to only kick on their dominant side with a view to eventually developing dual sided players?
It's such a disadvantage having one sided players. SPS is the only player in the team who is willing to kick on his non dominant side. Ask Heath Scotland, Ryan Houlihan and Greg Williams if kicking on both feet helped their careers.

As expected. We get little glimmers of sparkle during the season to show we're on the right track. Then we get some injuries, some players have a slump with form and the wheels seem to fall off. Development is the name of the game. We've got a reasonable list considering the pickings available these days, and we are going about it the right way getting SOS at the club. Not too concerned about where we're at. We are competitive and not the guaranteed pushover we've been in the past. This will continue as we develop the list and our recruits mature.

Go Blues!!!
