Stratton I think was concussed last week. Will be in against us.

I hope Frawley does. He’s useless.

Not knowing whether to bring Charlie back in is a very nice problem to have.

Charlie onto the wing for O'Brien. O'Brien has the skill but he's a season or 2 off it IMHO.
Let's remember Isaac Smith was 21 before he was drafted. O'Brien is similar IMHO. He doesn't have the physicality or commitment to the contest yet. Not did Smith.
Give him another 12-18 months in the system and he'll be a beauty. Yes we used a high pick on him but if we get 10 years or high quality out of him, he'll be worth it.

Charlie and hopefully Cuningham in for O'Brien and Polson.

Charlie is one of the most talented young key forwards in the comp and you want to change his role to accomodate Levi ?

Have we learnt nothing from messing with Weitering to accomodate Rowe ?

Hasn't hurt Weltering, in fact (imo) looks like he learnt a lot.

didn't hurt Weitering ?

yeah ok...

Charlie played a lot of his Under 18 football as a midfielder. If he can contribute on the wing and gain some confidence, I'm all for it.
Yes he's one of the best young forwards but he definitely hasn't been playing like it. Let him have a run up the ground and get his hands on the footy. When McGovern drops back to assist the defence, he can push forward and exploit his height advantage.
Mind you, he gets most of his disposals up the ground anyway. I doubt he's going to suffer too many demons having a run on the wing.

OBrien is an amazing athlete with a good left peg.
He should be developed as a winger.
He did well towards the end of the season in 2018.

I dont think he can take the number of hard knocks required at the highest level.
He may learn his craft as a HB in the NB's.

Stocker will happen.
But who knows when.

He came to us as much as midfielder as a forward. Essendon* thought about drafting him as an inside midfield bull. People forget that stuff. Fortunately for us he ran away from a booze bus...lol

I'm with Rexy on this one.
Caboult played well on the weekend (dropped a few easy marks however) but if history is any guide he is unlikely to back it up with another good performance against the Hawks.
I understand that we need to reward good performances to develop a strong culture etc however I just think we are a better chance of beating the Hawks with Charlie replacing Levi up forward (assuming Charlie has fully recovered from his bone bruising).

If we drop Levi for Charlie, who plays 2nd ruck?

7 days out the weather is suppose to be ok.

But ... Carlton selectors must make common sense selections if the weather turns bad. If that means dropping a couple of talls for the round ... so be it.

Was able to watch the first half of the Hawks game today. Reckon they did well considering the players they had out there. Plenty of young no names running around but they were still well structured and drilled despite that.

Ricky Henderson was good on a wing and Sicily plays the angles both cutting off the ball and rebounding. Their backline does look thin though so a good chance for our talls to dominate again.

Wingard, Puopolo, Breust, Gunston could be a handful if they get good delivery so our mids need to work hard defensively to choke them up and not allow them kicks into the F50 without any pressure on them. They will carve us up otherwise.

So in other words, you understand that we need to create a good culture but in the case of Levi you think we should ignore that need and just drop him despite his very strong game because in your opinion it’s unlikely he could play two good games in a row? Got it. You make a great point
