Robert Heatley Stand / Re: RD 4: Carlton VS Melbourne
I think may of us were deceived preseason regarding the health of our list and the lack of a genuine preseason due to so many surgeries.  Buckley had a full preseason and is playing like it.

We need more match time, luck with injuries and a good dose of confidence!!!

Blue skies, no rain on the radar, Big Levi to kick 5, The Extractor to be our second rising star in 3 weeks, Touy will line up anyone that goes within 50 m of Buckley.........Mick to smile at his post match press conference.

Have a good day folks!!

Is this the start of the 'clean out and cull'?  Give Rowe, Casboult and Lucas a chance to prove their worth and then work out what to do with them come October??

Int:
Lucas, Scotland, Carrazzo and Menzel.

Who is our sub?
Not Menzel or Lucas, I hope, they both need full games.  If Carrazzo is a bit sore (6 day turnaround) after very limited preparation, it might be him???

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Stand Up For Yourself & Your Mates ......
There are two things you can bank:

i.  Jimmy Buckley would have been seething on Sunday night and not at Goddard, at our own players. The Buckley, Sheldon, Johnston, Maclure, Harmes, Rhys Jones era would not let anyone get away with anything like that.  Maclure on 'The Blue Print' told the story of Malthouse roughing up an 18 y.y. Glascott.  Malthouse did not finish the game.........

ii.  Dylan Buckley would be in like a flash to fly the flag for a team mate.

Heads have to roll now, we can't cop that sort of pasting and not react to it.

Cripps, Giles, Holman and Graham all have to play from now along with Menzel & Buckley. Leave them in the team for the whole season, they can't do any worse than some of the imposters out there tonight who have just served up an 81-point drubbing.

The club needs to review Malthouse too, this is pretty much the same nucleus of players Ratten got to the finals. Why is this team playing worse now under Malthouse ?? He has brought in some solid recruits and trimmed off the deadwood so if we are honest, overall it is better than what Ratts had.

Additionally, the two areas that we keep getting killed in is the ruck and the key forward posts. We have not addressed the forward area since Kernahan retired and we have had plenty of rucks at the club yet we keep bringing in those who are second-stringers at best (Warnock & Wood).

That's all fine, but name your team from the back line.
