Thanks for clarifying that Kezza, I thought the senility had me again reading about Josh Fraser not getting a 200th at the Pies.....
Surely Joffa could not be wrong.....

Judge Brock on his input, not on his output, in that his role is to release the other mids to go about their job.

Every time he's come in, our star midfielders have looked that much better. Haven't watched the whole match yet but geez, Ellard's first half looked superb.

BLUES 2010: PAV AND JUDD = FLAGS. DOING IT FOR THE LOVE OF DICK PRATT.

HAVE YOU SIGNED UP FOR TALKINGCARLTON SUPERCOACH 2009 YET?

I was on my way out the door to the Coburg v Preston game. Hit submit too soon.

Judd in for one of the Curnows.

It's why the sub rule has been so good. The longer games go, the better they become, because it becomes too hard to flood effectively. Bring in a 2nd sub I say, and reduce the interchange down to 2 (in fact, I'd like them to get rid of the interchange altogether, but that's never going to happen).

It's no surprise that the really good teams heavily outscore the opposition late in games.

I like that team and the sooner we get some games into Waite and Jamo the better. I think Jamo's injury could be looked back on as a blessing in that Hendo has been uncovered as the 2nd back.

I can't seem Hampson coming back and playing a part given his lay off. He was playing well but remember how 'off' he can be (usually is) with his timing - i think it will be some time before that returns.

I would prefer not to see Thornton in the team - good ommision. He is constantly caught behind as a forward and is simply not in our best backline anymore. McLean, Curnow, Ellard can battle it out for 2 spots and whoever has the form should play. I personally hope it is Curnow and Ellard but good luck to Mclean. Question marks on Armfield and Tuohy.

That's similar to mine except i have Russell and Bower in.
The concern I have is Kruezer / Warnock @ ff. This is our biggest achillies heal in this side. No support for Waite at all.
Really interested to see what transpires from now on in by the MC.

Brocks missed tackle that led to the Edwards goal. Bloody hell. Did slightly make amends with a comfortable, but hardly starring performance in the second half. Won't be dropped on that. Hope he goes to town on the Dees next week.

The good, confident Jordan Russell is going to have to turn up because Touhy and Davies do not look out of place. I fancy it is Touhy that will be most under the microscope.

How good was the battle between Petrie and Hendo? I didn't have Hendo beating Dish as convincingly as others seem to, but he did play well.

Swallow easily best on ground, with Simmo and Scotland next. Old heads.

Gibbs, as good as you are, take a leaf from Simmo and Duigans book. Eyes only for the ball.

Duigan, mark of the year. Not only is he the worlds angriest missionary, he is the bravest.

Kreuzer is a ruckman first and foremost and looks so much more comfortable playing as a 200cm ruck rover roaming free around the ground (or in his case, head down pushing blokes aside as he barges through a pack). The need for Waite in the forward line intensifies.

And if Oscar makes Juddy this grumpy after 3 days, wait until the little un gets a cold.

Yaz, just keep running.

Robbo the dominator.

Go Blues.

I doubt we will change our rucks of the bench like the pre sub days. That would be a step backwards and rob us of sustained run. I think the forward line is working well at the moment with Big K down there. I am not sure what you are saying with no support for Waite. I dont get that at all.

If Hampson can displace Warnock that works even better with K and Hampson playing that long option.

...Carlos may yet displace Warnock. I doubt it though.

Yeah, I noticed that too.

It would be a little bit sad if it has come to that.

LMAO at Harvey buckling his knees and diving forward as soon as he got tackled. Been waiting a decade for one of our boys to catch that pr!ck.

I'm pretty much in total agreeance with this, SydMatt. McLean looks oh so painfully slow out there and makes a few tackles but sure as hell misses a few too. Pass this week, just.

Gibbs is hardening up i reckon and i thought actually led the way with intensity in the second quarter when he sensed danger. Proud of that - exactly what we need.

It was absolute GOLD

Ratten's a good judge of "plays of the day" - they're gems.

I got disproportionate pleasure out of seeing that tackle, and especially that it made Oompa Loompa stumble and faceplant.

GOLD.

Look at the video of Simpson's mark attempt and after Swallow gets tackled by Scotland around his chest, watch his neck fly backwards like his head was chopped. Also his 3/4 time mark in front of the point post and after Thornton's spoil attempt, he just collapsed to the ground like Tyson after Buster Douglas's right hook.

Harvey has left a legacy at that club that will last decades.
