Well it seems we have been holding him back if anything, proof will be in the pudding I guess whether that was more wishful thinking or not.

Hhmmm, not sure I’m super keen on watching that[/quote]

my last one was rubbish

someone is definitely scheduling this for prime time and hoping for a blues catastrophe to see all the journalists write our obituary.

there's plenty of haters in the football world of commenters, especially ex-players, the list is too long, but the relish they turn one bad quarter into Blues are an inept, lazy, skill-less team is profoundly motivated by something other than objectivity. (not talking about last week talking about better games). expect Gill CEO being a uni blue player is also a blues supporter? who signs off on the scheduling, will be Chief Operations Officer or something wont it? 2IC and heir apparent to lord Gill.

Because Gov's form and goal kicking was pretty sub-par. And at they'd know if Charlies goal kicking is going to be somewhat reliable or not based on what they're seeing in scratch matches and training. But mostly because he's an inspirational player, something Gov has yet to emulate.

that's a football barracker's lot! even some bulldogs fans are constantly pissed with Luke Beveridge for not playing the right players and tactics etc etc and worried about finishing top 2 or top 4. though last week will have soothed some nerves.

Yeah someone said SPS was terrible last week but the first half I saw he laid some big tackles and he's been doing more of that in the midfield than i recall him doing in the backline. Let's face it, there's something going on mentally with most of the team for parts of games and they all went off the boil in third quarter, if SPS was one of them, why single him out?! At least he's a clean ball user unlike so many others.

Cur now playing is either a master-stroke or toilet. I wonder what it will be

And not sure what Lyon is going on about. The amount of calamitys recently. what was he expecting?

Because it’s easy to single him out, the media certainly did.

Again, the Carlton failed early pick narrative for clicks. Just wait until LoB makes a mistake, pitchforks at the ready

Don’t forget the lit torches as well.

Someone had to be a scapegoat and surprise, surprise.......

Too many talented pea hearts on the list that dont defend very well.

SPS doesn't get out of a jog. When did you last see the bloke actually sprint. He's even slower when the ball is going the other way. Sadly he's a victim of having it too easy. Didn't play reserves in his first few years and he doesn't know what it's like to work hard and earn your spot.
He has a lot of talent but he also has a distinct lack of urgency.
I like the changes. (Other than O'Brien) Charlie has been training flat out for 6 weeks and played 2 scratch matches. You don't run thoroughbreds around on shit paddocks. Bring him into the elite environment.

Agree that SPS was much better than Cottrell, and not good enough to take Plowman's spot.
Doesn't provide the same pressure of Owies but has more skills.
Could easily have taken Williamson's role, unless they've gone for Willo for size being 10cm taller and a match up in mind. Similar situation vs Newman.

All the above did not produce as much as SPS last week.

I can't remember seeing SPS sprint or play with a sense of urgency, other than a token sprint chasing 5 metres behind with arms flapping manically making it look like he's trying.

SPS is half a footballer. There's a good half with skills, and a bad half for effort. Its that obvious.

But what would be the point of putting him back into the backline where he was a failure? He has produced his best in the midfield so if he is not playing there then running around in the magoos is better for him. The forward line is starting to resemble something to salivate over.

Just wish it wasn't the concrete slabs of Marvel that he was getting his first run in 700+ days.

Gil's team is Saints
