Re: Rd 11: Pre Game Patter: Carlton vs Brisbane

In all the talk post game, one theme that has reoccurred is the fact that the 'back six' is looking extremely settled. Plowman, Touy, Rowe, Simpson, Dougherty, Weitering, Thomas ......and Byrne ready to be reinstated. Unfortunately the name Michael Jamieson seems to be a thing of the past.
Bad for Jamo who has been a loyal servant but good for us in the sense that we have a back six that will see us into the short term future. Rowe is the next one we need a succession plan for, he is 28 but has durability on his side. Rarely injured (touch wood) and hence is ok for the short term but we need a plan. At the moment though, the defence is looking good and after seeing it in action live on Sun, I liked what I saw.
