Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Pass Mark 2015
I am hoping that Thomas would finish at least top 5 in the B&F and for
Henderson & Jamison to play minimum of 18 games each. Not much to ask.

Then the defense/forward structure would be sound and the dash and carry would be present in abundance.

Then a top 8 would be my pass mark.  :)

Freddy wrote a few great anthems,  didn't he.

Wish I know what to make of Bohemian Rhapsody. Love the operatic song growing up especially yelling out "scaramouche, the fandango, Galileo Galilei, Figaro and Bismillah, I cannot let you go....".

But later on once I figured out what those words meant I thought maybe Freddy just selected them randomly.

The tragedy about our win against "Saints Footy" is that Judd was Carlton's best player again......

No player is coming through as the outstanding leader that can bring the side along with him.... :-\ :-\ :-\

Personally I think our best leader coming through is Lachie Henderson.
If I had a choice to re pick our captain, he'd be it. He's a bit more extroverted, He speaks well, but most of all is a great onfield leader. Has rarely has put a foot wrong this year.
Quickly becoming my favourite, well one of them anyway.  ;)

Wouldn't argue with you on this one. he could be our Jono Brown. Wouldn't that be great.

You know I was thinking similarly watching the replay. Jonathan Brown I'm not sure but Jordan Roughhead maybe. He's effective back and forward and you can see him pitching in for 5 goals in some games and then going back and shutting down a running forward. He's gone past Waite now as our most important KPP.

Isn't Jordan a ruckman? I would compare Lachie to the Jarryd kind although the Hawthorn swingman is still well ahead of Lachie I would think.

Watson did OK last night, especially in the last quarter.

Thought I saw MM talking to him at 3 quarter time (I think) and Watson started punching the ball from his man with confidence, kicked to position well and had a couple of booming kick-ins to the middle of the ground towards Kreuzer.

"We are depending on you to make this structure work, Matthew", Mick must have said to him.  ;D

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Time To Play Casboult At Full Forward
.........
Casboult out of the square to about 20-30 metres will cause headaches, crunch the defenders going back with the flight (they're out of the contest) and let our smalls hurt them. Fly in the ointment is Hampson going down - Kruezer can ruck all day but will need some relief occasionally so who does it?

Yep. Just concentrate on one on one or pack marking rather than leading out. Greater chance of getting goals. Kreuzer can rest up there, can't he? Or get Walker to spent a few minutes up there.
