Okie Dokie...... very very strange.

Kreuzer is in & out like a tampon, so is clearly injured, yet we pick him ahead of Warnock?

Watson, whom i was not a fan off, has held his spot quite well, and we drop him???

Bizzarre.

God I cannot wait for this season to end.

Watson had 7 in a row - could be knacked
Warnork has played 4 games all year get some games in the ants into him as he has been rubbish when selected

Duigan apart from the pies game has been rubbish all year
Bower mighten be so chicken shit next time he goes for a mark

Lucas came on as sub first time round and did ok and needs a run
Touhy is always a good contributor
Davies is a favourite and does what he is instructed to do
Kruezer Ratts wants to kill him according to some on this site

@#$%&! hell there's some sycophants on here tonight.

Considered that Watson might be dropped for management reasons? Kid has played 2 mths straight of senior footy, huge increase in game time and step up from VFL. If he plays VFL this week, I admit it's strange, but think he could do with a rest. Piss and moan when Kreuzer and Henderson aren't managed, but when we do with Bootsma and Watson it's "dumb selections".

That Duigan might not have a match up? I see two talls in Riewoldt and McGuane. Shane Edwards named at CHF. No, wait, play him forward again. I've lost track...

Mob mentality.....

Watson must be fatigued no other reason to drop him.

I think Duigan has been good since the Geelong game. I guessing have not rated Davies at all from what I have seen so far.

Russell and Bower are gone in Ratts eyes, a new coach may save Bower though, but still unlikely.

I guess this week shows how many half backs we have on our list, too many!

Are we going to play Lucas as the sub again?

To be honest I think we will lose by at least 6 goals, but then again I thought the Doggies would roll us. We haven't won 2 in a row since rounds 5 & 6.

According to twitter, Watson is playing in the Ants. Can only assume he's been dropped for form.

I don't agree his form has been bad.

I'm excited about seeing Cas & Bell again.

Warnock IS available, right? I can't imagine a scenario whereby we wouldn't pick him short of suspension or injury.

And surely now's the time to get as many games into Watson down back as possible.

Just weird.


This is development Carlton style. Generally what happens now is he goes back to the ressies, gets injured on the mud heap at Cramer Street & we lose momentum on his development.

While I think Watson is very stiff, the Tiges don't have a tall forwardline. Pretty much Riewoldt only. It could be for structural reasons.

I'd be pretty disappointed if Watson has been dropped for form. A rest I can understand. Nothing against TBird but if Watson is not being rested I think he has been a bit hard done by. Anyway, what would I know.

Interesting selections. I think we can safely say that Russell and Bower have had their papers stamped. Pleased with stuck with Thornton.
Watson is the interesting one, but what do we know?

Some head scratching decisions but after a second glance there could be some reasoning behind the madness.
I might think that Warnock needs an attitude adjustment but I hope we don't kill Kreuzer for this to eventuate.
The Bower ommission is the other perplexing one and Watson could need a spell.

Some strange selections, but then again, their forward line isnt overly tall. Bit scared of the damage Jack might do on a seriously out of form Jamo though.
Can understand Lucas getting a game. Give him a full game to show what he's got.
Dont find the Bower omission perplexing at all. He's been poor most of the year, and his squibbing last Saturday was probably the straw that broke the camels back in terms of his career at Carlton. Big Ratten stuff up in hindsight keeping him instead of Big Setants.
Hope playing Kreuzer ahead of Warnock doesnt backfire. If Kreuz breaks down, we're seriously stuffed!

Like the idea of this weekly vid but Macca needs to provide more info on reason for selections/omissions...

No Laider, bower, Henderson, Duigan, Russell, Watson, or white and play Jamison with a shoulder knack.
Better do well in the clearances or Riewoldt could have a big night.

No need for a video if no comments are provided...... so agree with you.

Not surprised Watson was dropped....was terrible up forward last week....


That's not his fault, should've been in defence from the start.

Sarcasm KK....he was actually quite good when moved back in the second half last week...would've thought a run of games would be good for him....but it makes no difference in the grander scheme of things I guess....[/quote]

I can see why he has been dropped though. No real matchup for him at Richmond.

He'll be back next week.
