Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Rd23 v Port Adelaide.
All of a sudden Port have not much to play for this weekend, with EFC out and now sitting 7th they will rest players for sure despite the media statements to the contrary.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: RD 22 : Blues Choke Against Injectors (Anti-Losing Rage)
When I read this forum I cannot help but think a lot of people comment based on Stats.

And I read today that analysis centers like Final Siren, Dream Team and others have the likes of Warnock, Yarran and Bell rated highly. While they were heavily involved in play the effectiveness and efficiency of their possessions leaves me dead cold.

So here is my top five things to get yourself some ratings;
 - Tap the ball directly to an opponent.
 - Kick the ball to hopelessly outnumbered team mates.
 - Get pinned trying to break tackles.
 - Run around the contest as much as possible.
 - Play for soft free kicks.

And if they were our highest rated players, where does that leave the rest???

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Poll added: Marc Murphy should not be captain
I'll stick with Murphy.

Judd, Simpson and Carrazzo are past their Use By Date. Carrazzo and Judd already show signs of old man injuries. The idea of replacing Murphy with a 30 year old suggests some immediate short term hope for success, but I will go with a longer term outlook.

In my opinion Henderson is a bit of an introvert, he will go backwards if he is given the front of house job. He spends more time hiding from the media than wanting to talk to it and Simpson is similar.

The club captain isn't just about on field stuff anymore, you are an integral part of bringing in, dealing with and attracting sponsors. There is nobody else at CFC that is as good a long term choice as Murphy.

Gibba never had Goddard, he played his usual run with role on Jobe. Duigan had Goddard for the entire game, even followed him to the bench.

Gibbs played on Goddard for some time.

I never saw them matched up at all. Goddard played down back for the majority, Duigan was with him.

Was sitting behind the IC gate and can confirm Duigan rotated with Goddard for the bulk of occasions. Duigan was effective in the first quarter and caused Goddard to be dragged depth in defense. After 1/4 time Bumbers let Goddard run free and Duigan became less effective, the problem though wasn't really Duigan. The problem seemed we had no viable marking target besides Henderson in F50, nobody presenting very little forward movement. Often they kicked to Hendo in 3 on 1 situations. The loss of Walker and Kreuzer before game cooked our balance.

For me this is a real weakness at our club, the situation remains unchanged since Ratten was replaced. We have no smart ball users going inside F50, our decision making is generally quite poor. I'd be giving our forward coaches the flick at the earliest possible opportunity.

Ryder loves smashing our little blokes... line in the sand time for us with this individual.  Take.  No. More. S$^%
I think Boult needs to take on this task. 

Stand 10mtrs off, ball coming in high, commence run up, present knee into middle of back, ball spills (MOTY a bonus), job done  ;)

Tuohy doesn't do so bad at it either, and Jammo has crunched a few over the pack this season as well!

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Karma
I think Kharma means nought to long term posters, but to new members or visitors it could give them an insight into the Who's Who of CSC.

Is that good or bad, I have no idea!

Rename it Kudos and stick it back, no Kharma required!
