Re: 2017 Round 4 : Pre Game thread - Carlton V Gold Coast Reply #77 – April 13, 2017, 06:51:27 pm I am sure that Bolts sat Palmer, Smedts and Kerridge down in front of the whiteboard and explained in detail, how they would be used this year and how they fit into the overall master plan and 'journey'. Hence, 'omitted' is quite harsh, probably 'not required this week' might be more accurate! (I'm sure we'd have a couple of more mature bodies in if we were playing the Cats this week!)
Re: 2017 Round 4 : Pre Game thread - Carlton V Gold Coast Reply #78 – April 13, 2017, 06:57:45 pm I pretty much agree with the ins / outs but at this point you'd have to ask what Charlie has done to deserve his spot.

Either that or a deliberate strategy (set number of games in one block etc.) from which the club will not deviate.

Mostly because of the conditions but he was still dropped.

Charlie otoh needs to get plenty of exposure at senior level so that he can develop. This game is ideal for him.

Re: 2017 Round 4 : Pre Game thread - Carlton V Gold Coast Reply #86 – April 13, 2017, 08:42:51 pm I think Bolt's is getting rid of the hackers.Armfield was terrible two weeks ago in his wayward delivery into the forward line and its bye bye.Kerridge was given a chance but failed in that regard as well.We've got other hackers but those two stood out as they brought little else to the table.

You're spot on re Graham, love him or hate him he's been getting the aggott in the twos and his attitude has been first rate. Smedts just needs time... but Sumner... sheesh, yes he's quick but he hasn't done nearly enough to be near a call-up.
