Graham one poor game.....would be completely unfair to drop him on that. Unless you consider one poor game to be dropping off? I would have thought that kind of thing would involve a couple of games. Either way, was sub standard last week.

If he has a niggle it might make more sense and it would also explain his form dip last week.

We might also be playing horses for courses.

A big ground and a big midfield.  Graham likes a goal but a small forward he isnt, so it could be a strategy thing.

Buckley
Jones
Kreuzer

 Are our Interchanges.

White, Jamo and Graham the Emergencies.

Id like to see us play one ruck plus Levi. On form that would be Phillips but Krooz is may be worth a go on his own.

The key here is jacksh finding some form as if he comes on, which we really need him to, along with jones and Levi gives us a much better looking forward line on paper

Agree, BB will leave no stone unturned in finding out who can and who cant. Slowly weeding out those who cant.

I'm surprised Jaksch isn't in. Form warrants it.

Kreuzer named on the bench must be a last chance indicator.

Disappointed for Graham, one bad game and he gets the chop whereas others out there can get away with murder.

Go Blues.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

We are going into this one far too tall.

We dont need all of Rowe, Phillips, Kreuzer and Casboult playing when we lack run.

Graham isnt quick, but he is a good link player, and can win his own ball.

So is Tuohy but there's no way that he was close to being dropped.

Kerridge and Wright are ahead of him apparently.
I'm surprised that Buckley survived, I'd prefer Smith if only for his body strength.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Yes, I'm surprised Buckley survived. Must think we'll need his pace?

Was thinking the same, I wouldn't be surprised if kroozer is out

I think Kerridge and Wright probably are ahead of him ATM but they are seasoned players.

My guess is that Buckley may actually get a gig back in defence, he wasn't awful last week. People keep going on about one dropped mark but in reality is it any worse than the easy shots at goal Kreuzer missed?

We'd want to get the ball in quickly, which never happens, otherwise with so many talls it'll come out just as quickly.

We could do without one of the ruckmen.

I hope he plays in defence: he has played his best football there.
Buckley's dropped mark from last week really stuck in the mind, but his first quarter was excellent. He was a part of every forward move we made.
His 2nd quarter wasn't much, but he had a LOT of mates.

I would really like it if he could get it all together, but I am losing hope.
Live Long and Prosper!
