Dont you remember BlueDave, no forwards.. noone in our half of the ground from memory in the first half... I think Ratten apologised after the game.

Ah, Ratts, Ratts, Ratts...

If you wanted to make a statement you should have dropped Carrazzo. He was less than useless last week. Robinson, too. He brought plenty of intensity, but little else.

Guys...basic understanding of footy clubs required. If they were asked to adhere to designated game day team rules and failed to carry out those instructions from the coaching staff throughout the game, then it justifies their omission. No one is being made a scapegoat. As senior players - Waite and Thornton would have recognised they put in below par performances. They wouldn't have been my choices to be dropped, but it does show you how far removed the supporter is from the happenings of selection (and always has been). For some reason there seems to be an unhealthy perception that paid up membership and participation on a Carlton related forum provides one with more than an opinion on team selection.

As an aside - very excited about seeing Simon White in the navy blue. A little concerned about his peripheral vision shortcomings but excited nonetheless!

Waite has been in our worst 3 players on the ground against Brisbane and Essendon*.
Thornton got smashed by Brown and I can cop that but he cost us 3 goals in that game when he had the ball and butchered it under no pressure.
Against the Bombers Walker and Jamo took the key forwards so he should have been a driving force in the backline. He was just a player against the Bombers and the final straw would have been when he kicked that ball out on the full instead of copping the hit and being pushed over the line.
Eddie start kicking goals and not points otherwise you will be next, 33% conversion is not good enough.

Whale-Oil-Beef-Ucked. thornton i can handle, but waite (although i had heard elsewhere that he asked to be dropped) i just give up. houlihan scotland and walker stay. and still no hadley or hampson. like i said elsewhere, ratten can rant and rave, huff and puff, but no guts to take action. all piss and wind. adelaide will flog us

So who's going to protect Judd at the stoppages in this line up? Garlett? It's not like Adelaide have bigger bodies that would be loving smashing Judd to pieces on his return.

Weird stuff considering what happened to us last time we were over there. Sounds like the babies made the trip with the bathwater.

Why? I believe he has shown some signs the past few weeks and for the good of his career he needs to be able to settle in one spot. I actually like him in the role.

welcome back to form kurt tippett!!

Strange that Hadley isn't in the team for that very reason. The one thing you don't want is Judd at the bottom of the packs.

And Warnock? By all reports Jacobs is killing em in the VFL. Why not give him a go?

Let's just hope Ratts has outthought us all.

Interesting to see if Dangerfield and Tippett play.
