R5: Western Bulldogs v Carlton (Pre-match discussion)

oh please, enough Bravery acts from MM and the match committee...

Whether we like it or not, without Waite and Gartlett, We have no chance of kicking any winning score or any score for that matter. They are our proven match winners... they are the only 2 players capable of kicking a bag. Why punish them further than the rest?

Bring them back in. Our forward line against Melbourne was dis-functional. It will get even worse against better opposition.

Yes But you just have to give the kid games under his belt....Experience & cofidence comes from this..What good is it gonna do anyone by dropping him again..

Which player is going to benefit the team in the future from playing games Waite or Casbolt?

We are a 0-4 and we need to stick fat and give Casbolt a go. I don't care if we lose. Play the guys who might be on the list for the next 5-10 years.

Easy, Jamo probably out. Play Hendo back and both Waite and Casboult forward. Whats the big deal?

I thought it odd that for a lot of the time, Hendo played FF with Levi CHF. Vice versa for mine. Hendo much better leading up, and there was no room to do that inside 50.

levi must play, he took 8 marks on weekend and will be a very good lead up man in years to come. he can play forward with waite

Missed a couple of sitters also, but agree he must stay in

Sounds like Robinson is coming straight back into the team according to McKay.

Good luck Laidley

Given Laidley is Micks man, the coach might be Andy McKay. :lol:

WTF does John Barker have to do?!

Robinson. Surely not.

Robbo has frustrated the hell out of me, but as much as he butchers it, he ain't alone there, and his grit and determination are exactly what we need. It's not like we're blessed with silky skilful left footers as alternatives. At least we know he'll have a crack. Give me Robbo over Carazzo any day.

If people are seriously thinking Robinson will make a positive difference we really are struggling.

Mackay tals total shit. If you believe half of what he says it twice as much as you should!

Why bring in Waite or Garlett?? They went back to two's last week and were poor. What message does that send?

More mediocrity.

The only choice we have is to play Watson, Lucas, Graham, Cripps etc for the rest of the year, give them experience and see if they are truly up to it.

We wont win a Premiership this year so why play players that are out of form or past their best.

Watson just isn't, under any circumstances, AFL standard.

I'd rather throw giles into the deep end, or throw waite down back in a man on man role if Jamison is no good to go. Tell waite if he leaves his man, we hold you down at half time and neuter you with tinsnips.
