Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Blues v Pies Scratch Match - Thursday 20th, 4pm
Ben SOS, Goddard & Cotrell all played in the 5th & 6th qtrs.
Willo is all class, a little rusty, but that will soon disappear.... a huge future ahead of him.
Great to see Doc and Eddie back and both doing what they do best, both showed good form.
Philp in the 1st & 2nd qtr looked lost and gassed the times i noticed him, his 3rd qtr was quite impressive though. Definitely something to work with.
DeKoning also impressed me, reads the ball well in the air, and took several good marks, very promising signs.
Overall, i was very impressed with the team defense, and scoring 4 goals in each of the 1st 3 (serious) qtrs showed promising signs for our offense as well.
For a 1st hit out for the season it was quite pleasing,  and always good to beat the Pies!

Lods, that much is obvious.  Has been since Pontious was a pilot :)  I have watched the game a little bit.  But Casboult not in the best 22?  IMO, forget it UNLESS a run of poor form warrants it ... and with him it doesn't

Obviously I don't see Casboult as best 22, I like all the players I have chosen down the spine ahead of him, however, if any of our spine either lose form or are not fit to play, Casboult IMO would be 1st called apon to fill the spot. He is most certainly an invaluable sqad member...... IMO anyway.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Best 22 so far
Right, let me have a crack at this!

Best, oldest, most experienced 22
FB; L. Plowman, L. Jones, C. Marchbank
HB; S. Docherty, J. Weitering, K. Simpson
C; W. Setterfield, E. Curnow, J. Newnes
R; M. Kreuzer, P. Cripps, M. Murphy
HF; J. Silvagni, C. Curnow, J. Martin
FF; M. McGovern, H. Mackay, E. Betts
Int; N. Newman, S. Petrevski-Seton, S. Walsh, M. Gibbbons

There are about half a dozen guys fighting for that last spot, I gave it Gibbons for his age and ( mostly VFL!) experience.

Best of the rest
FB; B. Silvagni, H. Goddard, T. Williamson
HB; L. Stocker, H. Macreadie, B. Kemp
C; L. O'Brian, M. Kennedy, Z. Fisher
R; M. Pittonet, P. Dow, D. Cuningham
HF; C. Polson, L. Casboult, D. Lang
FF; F. Phillips, T. De Koning, F. O'Dwyer
Int; S. Philp, S. Ramsay, M. Cottrell, M. Owies, J. Honey

We have an over supply of Mids and a shortage of half backs, its possible Stocker may get more time back there than in the midfield.
As much as Kemp says he wants to play midfield, I reckon his best position will be as a Grant Birchall type half back and I think he will be very good in that role. 

With Kerr gone and no KPP picked up in the drafts, we are also a little light on for KPP forwards.

Our midfield depth is staring to look good, and many of our mids can go forward too which is helpful!

Ladies Lounge / Re: Hannah Mouncey
In my opinion, allowing transgender athletes to compete in womens sport will eventually become the end of womens sport. If this is true, it would ruin sport for close to half of the worlds population, and for what? To keep a much smaller percentage of people happy. It seems madness to me.... but just my opinion.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: If Not BB, Who?
My faith in Bolts is being tested, if he can't get us out of the bottom 4 this year he has lost me.

The big issue for me is there is no obvious stand out candidate to replace him.

The Judge and SOS's links to Ross Lyon worry me, I would stop following AFL if he came to Carlton.
I wouldn't be against giving Ratts a 2nd chance, although not sure how realistic this option might be.

I'd be interested in Adam Simpson, and both Fagan and Dew seem to be doing ok up north, so there are options, but no one is screaming 'pick me' right at this moment, to me anyway...

With the list SOS has built, you would think we would have a pretty exciting list to coach, and shouldn't have much trouble attracting anyone if necessary.
