Tomorrow night is going to be ugly, can't believe they give Watson just over a half in a match where the ball never came up there. What statement does that say, then bring back Jones??

It shows us that Watson refuses to present on the lead up the ground and waits for the ball to come to him.
It shows us that Jones will present on the lead up the ground and doesn't wait for the ball to come to him.

I made a comment in the post match thread last week that i was VERY disappointed with our team refusing to run and present for their teammates. We couldn't get the ball out of the backline because everyone up the ground were flat footed. So we played keepings off in defensive 50 until we messed up or became impatient and bomber it long to a 50-50 at best.

So who plays on Tom Hawkins and Mitch Clarke??

Wood, Tutt, White, Rowe, Armfield etc just too many c graders.

re Kreuzer
So from not being sure whether he'd come up or not for the Geelong game to not even playing in the VFL side...that's a concern.

Hopefully it's as simple as a managed recovery and a week off.

Never said he is the answer. Just saying that he offers more than Watson does.

We are gunna get flogged, who in the hell is going to stop Gawkins and Clarke from kicking a lazy dozen between them. Mate of mine (cats fan) invited yours truly around to watch the game!!! Said no thanks rather watch Muriel's Wedding with the missus. That's how bad I feel.

Reckon Kruze is in trouble again, hope like cluck it's a management issue.

We still don't know with Watson, 50 mins gametime in a team that was getting slaughtered is not enough of a chance. We know Jones is no good.

Watson was playing as a forward, so not sure why you are quoting me.

White and Rowe will be given the responsibility of their big forwards.

I expect that if the ball gets that far its game over. I think we are focusing our efforts on the midfield.

IN : Dylan Buckley, Kade Simpson, Liam Jones, Patrick Cripps
OUT : Matthew Dick, Matthew Watson, Kristian Jaksch, David Ellard

Picked it in one last week, feel very angry about the way this guy is getting treated.

And what did Liam "The Lionhearted" Jones do last week to warrant a recall ??

Agree - either of White or Rowe on Hawkins or Clarke will be a disaster. Train wreck on the way.

By the way is Andrew McKay the 12th man on the deal team?

"I think Henderson will come up"
"Walker should be right to go"
and on and on ..................and it's a complete mystery why a once proud powerhouse of the AFL can't muster 50k of members.

Spare me.

Carlton

B: Dylan Buckley, Sam Rowe, Simon White.
HB: Zach Tuohy, Chris Yarran, Ed Curnow.
C: Dale Thomas, Chris Judd, Kade Simpson.
HF: Dennis Armfield, Bryce Gibbs, Jason Tutt.
F: Troy Menzel, Liam Jones, Patrick Cripps.
Foll: Cameron Wood, Andrew Carrazzo, Marc Murphy.
Int: Tom Bell, Sam Docherty, Levi Casboult, Andrejs Everitt.
Emg: David Ellard, Nick Graham, Robert Warnock.

In: Dylan Buckley, Kade Simpson, Liam Jones, Patrick Cripps.

Out: Matthew Dick (Omitted), Matthew Watson (Omitted), Kristian Jaksch (Omitted), David Ellard (Omitted)

Buckley was lucky to get a recall. he didn't do that much last weekend for the Baby Blues. Jones is also very lucky. He did less than Buckley. The 3 who got dropped were quite unlucky. Watson just didn't get a go at all while Dick just wasn't that bad. He even got a few votes in the Jim Park Medal!

I just can't see us winning with this line up.

Geelong Cats

B: Jared Rivers, Tom Lonergan, Jed Bews.
HB: James Kelly, Corey Enright, Harry Taylor.
C: Andrew Mackie, Joel Selwood, Mathew Stokes.
HF: Steven Motlop, Mitch Clark, Jordan Murdoch.
F: Cory Gregson, Tom Hawkins, Darcy Lang.
Foll: Rhys Stanley, Steve Johnson, Josh Caddy
I/C: Mark Blicavs, Cameron Guthrie, Shane Kersten, Jackson Thurlow.

Emg: Sam Blease, Jake Kolodjashnij, Josh Walker.

In: James Kelly, Andrew Mackie, Tom Hawkins.

Out: Mitch Duncan (Foot), Josh Walker (Omitted), Sam Blease (Omitted)

I look at Geelong and I don't see the team that troubled us so badly in recent years, especially in their ruck division, but I just don't see us playing to our potential. I hate that.
