Watch old mate Membrey kick 4 tonight. Dines out on us.
And there smalls will cut us up again.
Needed a fit healthy and inform list to get over them - not happening tonight
Pies comfortably 25 plus
We have kicking problems, can't hit up a bloke in the same coloured jumper to save ourselves.
So to improve our kicking they drop the best kick in our team, Boyd.
Seems really weird, no actually that's standard Carlton protocol.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Williams come out and Boyd go in as a late change.
Moir probably the sub.
I must admit this issue is one close to my heart. I've suffered from depression and anxiety for years. Even with medication I still have good days and bad days. This year hasn't been good, but I keep going.
When I was really bad, I could barely get out of bed of a morning. It was totally debilitating. I'm glad I've left that behind (somewhat), but lots of days can be struggles.
I just hope Elijah and H can get back into their good places, as playing well will help them no end. And great things can still be done; Winston Churchill suffered from depressions and anxiety for much of his adult life. It didn't stop him from being one of Britain's best PM's.
Evans... not sure what to say about him, but he spotted up a 50 metre kick which got Kemp a goal. Not easy he's no Eddie betts but I bet that he has something endearing.
....... and he got totally burnt by Motlop when he was in a perfect position for a goal.
What happened:How about the recruiting?....sold the farm for Smith, and recruited numpties like Evans and Haynes and gave away two competent players in Owies and Kennedy. And now we have to watch some of these younger teams move ahead of us like Hawthorn have done.
- Changed HP guy - training is clearly different, is it better or worse? Too early to tell but right now, we aren't running out games, last year we finished games like trains. Is this fatigue in the second half affecting ball use and decision making?
- Lost 30-40 goals - Between Owies, Martin (when not injured) and Kennedy, we have lost some fire power up forward.
- We need Curnow and McKay in the same side preferably both firing or at least causing headaches for defenders.
They are the main items for me.
I'm not sure how you guys think that dropping players who don't deserve a game, and bringing in players who don't deserve a game will do anything but fracture the playing group, and then instill fear and self preservation in everyone attempting to play footy.
To me there is no greater way to destroy morale, and collaboration and divide a playing group than drop players who have been worthy citizens, in favour of players not putting their hand up for a match. You think its bad now? Wait till you see what happens when blokes attempting to play their role are dropped for blokes that arent.
You'll be looking for a while in the 2s to find replacements. If your criteria is two arms, two legs and a pulse, you should be right.
These guys are no where near their seasonal averages and no idea if they will get there. Time to unearth some talent.
Carrol, Binns, Moir, Wilson, Lemmey play them.
Players out of form and below their seasonal averages and becoming a liability.
Acres
Fogarty
McGovern
O. Hollands
Docherty
Williams
Saad, Walsh(injury) Charlie (injury) , Haynes next in line
If it was up to me I would not play either of them and try to find some form in VFL just kicking the can down the road with these blokes.
Yep.
I have us beating west coast and no one else without a proper turn of form.
Last 20Not great but could also mean we are due.
LLLLL WLWLL LLLWL LLWLL
Our record against these pricks is very poor.
Blues vs Pies games don't get decided by ladder position form, recent history and I still give us a chance to win the game.
Pies will be favourites and probably feeling a bit cocky and good about their chances but it usually isn't pretty footy and if we can catch them off guard there will be an upset imo.
