It all started with the Curnow boys and umpire contact.
That was Naaf

My thoughts on final 22 going on process of elimination firstly.
I don't think Corey comes up and shouldn't play regardless. We have 4 talls down back - Weiters, Young, Marchbank and Gov. 4 up front-H,Charlie, JSOS and resting ruck. Even if we cop early injury we have enough cover. That eliminates Kemp. Setters must be dropped. Last spot between Newnes and Fog. Fog been good in ressies and that form should be rewarded. Good tackler and plays with intent. Something we lacked last week and Vossy referenced. He plays along with TDK as they want 2 rucks, Dow plays as we need an extra mid. Jack M plays for added class and also tackling capacities. Newnes the sub.

geez i saw the AFL app headlines and then went to carlton App and Jack not named in the INs. had to scroll to the positions to see he is playing in the forward line! i nearly lost it!!

I reckon that's about right!

yeah it’s like when we had great D under bolton and the en teague comes in and goes ok let’s down hill ski a bit more than this. he assumed the defensive game would hold up without the entire team playing hard D and rebound to an open midfield and F50. it didn’t work like that. or D dropped off. so voss has hardened it up well and much fewer and shorter lapses in concentration leading to fewer goal spree swings in momentum to the opposition.


like you said FB it’s about finding the balance of a few different aspects to the game. all teams are constantly fighting to get the balance as oppositions change from week to week and trends i. the game change from month to month. (and even trends in the umpiring!), Melb and Geelong the only ones who are doing it pure. we’re improving but last six weeks we’ve seen setbacks. that’s life trying to reshape the system and and recondition the players into winning sportsmen. only crippa and walsh don’t need coaching. and even crippa needs more discipline.

I was already struggling for this game and this doesn't @#$%&! help.

whatever it was it’s very average media training advice. they need to review and see how it looks. dunno why weiters and H are always doing the media, i guess requests but clearly preferred by blues management too. rhodes scholar, well so was John Eliot and he’s a slob.

John Elliot a Rhodes' Scholar?
I think you're thinking of Mike Fitzpatrick.

I can’t recall an umpire more obviously against us in recent years, how the afl don’t review umpire behaviour and see the blatantly obvious ones like him it baffles me.

I've been sulking all week but hope springs eternal... I like the look of the team on paper. Win or lose, it's about how we play this week. Go down swinging and having a genuine crack with the right attitude. Show intent from the first bounce and be brave enough to take the game on a bit more. We can win. I don't think we will but we can. Go Blues

At least we shouldn’t have him next week….

Rhino I'm happy with your selection as well, My reasoning for Kemp over Fog is that we've replaced both Plowman and Newman with Marchbank so I saw Kemp as insurance for Marchbank who's playing game 2 in quite a looooooong time.
Happy for Fog to come in and smash it.

Surely Dow plays….

Not necessarily. Recently the order of mids have been Cripps, Hewitt, Cerra, Kennedy, Walsh and Fisher when required. With Dow following that group. I wouldn't be overly surprised to see Fogarty come in to play a defensive role (Rich?) and to have small stints in the middle assisting the available 4.
I'd rather Dow come in but as I said, recent history tells me it's definitely not a certainty.

3 or 4 years ago most teams wanted larger groups of mids but that has changed the last year or 2. Several are settling with a core group of 4 and a half forward pinch hitting where required.

This is an important game and the winner should be allowed to win fair AND square 18v18, not 18v 19.

I hope Martin is selected - we need an injection of class up forward.
Glad to see Marchbank in the 18.

He couldn't feel his shoulder last week, and was subbed off.

Not sure how that helps him with his one vital weapon for a small forward, tackling.

I agree his form has been on the decline over a long period, and we could get more value from someone else till he freshens up and returns to that early season form.
