Re: Pre game postulations: AFL 2019 Rd 18: Carlton vs Gold Coast at Marvel Reply #15 – July 16, 2019, 10:07:06 pm Quote from: ElwoodBlues1 on July 16, 2019, 08:31:29 pmx2...Playing with a poor team we havent seen the best of him this season but that left boot he has is a good one and with a good Italian surname like Fiorinithere is only one logical place for him to be and thats at Carlton.Ainsworth would be very highly rated if he was at a better club. I honestly think GC need to go hard at a full on rebuild right now. Forget the past and the dire position they're already in - offer all their good players longish deals - whoever doesn't want to sign trade them out for as many first round draft picks as they can get. They already hit last year's draft hard. Do it again now and build a culture around a group of kids like GWS has done.

Must say, I prefer the roof shut.

Re: Pre game postulations: AFL 2019 Rd 18: Carlton vs Gold Coast at Marvel Reply #24 – July 18, 2019, 10:18:48 am would be nice to see a (key) cfc forward kick a swag - 6 or 7.Big H - reckon this lad (at this stage of his development) is a huge confidence player....

That's A-Grade coaching, not just because it gets Casboult in the right place, but because it's easy to understand and Meat can execute that dragging an opponent away from the contest!

For example SoJ finding himself as the tall in some recent F50 contests, only comes about because McGovern and Casboult are dragging KPD opponents away from the fall of the ball! Remember, Charlie and McKay were not playing!
Re: Pre game postulations: AFL 2019 Rd 18: Carlton vs Gold Coast at Marvel Reply #28 – July 18, 2019, 02:13:09 pm Apart from the obvious wish of having a good win this week, I would also like to see us kick a big score - 20 goals - no wind, no wet, so no reason why not.
