Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2017 Rd 2 Pre Game Panic Carlton vs Melbourne
Quote from: kruddler on
Some people were saying White might make way because Rowe/Marchbank/Plowman are all thats needed in defense....but also we need more run from defense.
Rowe does like to punch the ball which is annoying people.

I've suggested before that instead of dropping one of those 4, we drop Casboult.

We send Rowe forward where he can re-learn how to mark the ball.....and he can pinch hit in the ruck, but let Kreuzer do the bulk of it as that is what suits him best.
It allows us to keep more run (white as '3rd tall') without weakening our backline.
It gives us 2 tall targets up forward....who can kick!

There you go again with logic!!!

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2017 Rd 1 Post Game Analysis: Carlton vs Richmond

first dissent i read about bolts

"he going to have to deliver more than footy cliches"

I agree with that assessment.

As supporters we require progress, not perfection. We should look to build on the 7 wins last year and not
Look to go backwards. How is everyone ok with us finishing on anything less then 8 wins this year.

The world has gone mad!!!

Thinking the same thing, we might have improved but so have everyone else and looking for possible wins isnt easy....

GC and Brisbane down here in Melb I think is our best bet....

Not so sure. Watching the games so far, our skills were bad but so are all the other teams. Both saints. And demons looked horrible. The score line is flattering.
Gc and Brisbane - both have a lot of improving to do. Hawks are not the same team. Age + new players - experience = loss to bombers. Bombers looked ok at times but only because hawks midfield allowed them to.
It'll be interesting to see the games tomorrow
If freo does a number on Geelong I'm calling now, Freo v gws grand final.

Indeed. I don't have any access to watch the game, but they staged a good 2nd q comeback, it looks like they're doing ok on the scoreboard and the stats.

If you have any vision of the game, please let me know your thoughts. Both the Dees and Saints are finals bound according to most "experts".

Melbourne kicked away in the 3rd. Both teams making basic skill errors. Poor decision making.
St kinda engine room shut down in the 3rd

I see the Doggies have named Caleb Daniel just to rub our noses in it. He caused a lot of talk amongst us pre-draft and the Doggies ended up picking him up with the pick we gave them for Liam Jones.

At 164cm or whatever he is, he probably only comes up to Cripps knee caps !! :P


Caleb's draft profile from last year

Caleb Daniel is a special player. On ability he’s the best player in the draft crop, no player possesses close to the same natural talent. However, Daniel is one of the smallest players to play the game. It’s about the one thing that can make even the best drop down the draft boards. If drafted, Daniel will be the smallest player in the AFL. kid can play. 

We'd be lucky if Liam Jones ends up half the player Caleb is.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2015-Rnd 2 West Coast vs Carlton (Ingame)
I don't understand why we don't play guys in positions that they are good in. Casboult at ff closer to goal, Hendo at chf, Menzel around the big fellas and jones leading away from them.  Also taggers pretending to be ball winners because our ball winners are cowards. Carrazo and curnover = taggers yet playing like elite ball winners. Both of them should never be allowed to kick a ball again. Handball only.
Not really sure what position Gibbs is good at.... Maybe midfield....
Same goes for yarran and Rowe and touhy and Simpson and pretty much the rest of the team.
I know Jamo is our full back and judd and murthy are in the middle. That's about it.
I understand why the club was offering a 10% discount on this year membership. They knew players will put in at best 90% effort.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: What are you positive about?
I'm positive Dennis, ellard and brick should never, EVER play a single second in the navy blue again.
Watson, I like the kid but I've pretty much given up on him.
Warnock must be traded.
Excited about Buckley, graham, temey, cripps.
