In your 6 Young was let go by the Doggies who have a lack of KPD.


They offered him a contract so they obviously rated him


Maybe as depth, the Dogs preferred Schache to Young in the back half, maybe why he left

Should we have kept Cas? He looked cooked but he was handy as a KPD a few years back.


yes. a good pre-season and he would have been very valuable in hindsight. surely the club was aware of player vaccination status and attitudes towards vaccination at the time they let Levi go? had the best clunking hands in the business just a couple of years ago. looks like more bungling by the club administration.

I see your point but I think it was time to part ways with Levi regardless of Jones.

This may be a blessing in disguise.

OK, I'm stretching of course but trying to see a silver lining: Jones is 30. He may have had a year or two left in him playing good, uninjured footy and may well have been done anyway just as we're gelling and challenging under Voss.

He was a great player for us, yes, but people also forget the monumental brain fades at times... plus the turnovers... onwards and upwards!

Does anyone think the AFL will help us out to replace Jones ? The article said Carlton were working with the AFL in relation to Jones replacement.

They've been known in the past to only help teams whose players do take jabs :roll:

I find that really weird. They should just have had a policy in place in the event this happens. We should know where we stand on this...it shouldn't be getting workshopped now

Interesting to see how the AFL compensates us.

Jones must be worth a round 2 selection. For any other team.

For us ?

Yup agree with you Jones value would be about start 2nd round, or immediately after our 2nd current 2nd rounder pick, at least one would think.
I be happy with either scenario.

The Truth is, We Do not have anyone else to Replace him!

Oscar? you got to be kidding me.... the guy is a hack.... should not be getting a game in the 2's either!

Marchbank: not big enough for full back and Injury prone

Lewis Young: He is not a full back- and playing him at full back will burn his potential and career. He is a HB at best


Having said all that, Remember last year, even with Jones in the team, we were leaking Goals with ease. God help us, how we going to fare without him!


With our current list, we Do not have any player capable of playing FB. Jones was the only option we had. He was the best at it.

Of all of the AFL players the only one who refused the vaccine had to be a Carlton player.

you have to wonder what the hell these clowns sit around talking about regarding risks, contingencies etc. Never thought anything would top the post it notes for interchanges, but perhaps I'm wrong

Is it possible that there are other players and that their clubs haven’t let the media know?

I guess it is possible. Although you would think it would have come out by now.
Time will tell.

[Un]fortunately we are not * and our player has left for not taking a jab when asked to.
So as far as the AFL is concerned - we are flower.

Seeing as the AFL (along with Mr anti-beer/sunset - you can't look at sunsets - Dan Andrews) are in bed together the least the AFL can do is to provide assistance to Carlton.

This is of the AFL's making. They find the solution.

Mandating all people to be the same has never worked in history- it is not going to work whether it is a vaccine, food, politics, sociology, athleticism, capabilities..... as they said in Monty Python:-

"You are all individuals"

"I'm not".

We should target Rance for 2 reasons.
1. He would be a good leader/teacher for the backline and will help Weitering.
2. It will piss off Essenscum*
