Re: R13 Hawthorn vs Carlton (Prematch Deliberations)

If you play two slow players in Cachia and Graham then I think having players like Buckley and Armfiled in helps balance the speed ledger.
One of our strengths is our speed through the middle now with Yarran, Walker, Docherty taking the ball from defense and rebounding and I think we need to encourage more of that and have other players with speed who can give us an edge.
I was amazed Buckley was dropped.....I'd be replacing Garlett with Buckley and having SOJ play forward...I reckon he might create and kick a few goals bit like his old man did..
Like it. Same page.
Was saying to a good mate at the NBs game yesterday that I would bring in SOJ for Jeffy... think I beat him by about 2 seconds to the same suggestion! Either way, Jeffy cannot be allowed to front up again after those two soft efforts in the Pussy Cats game - Dawks will have seen those and will hammer him.
Who does Juddy replace?
Jeffy is nowhere near as hungry as he was when he arrived as a rookie - no longer provides the forward line pressure and rarely catches anyone to lay a tackle - leave him out until he pulls his finger out.
Is also lacking fitness or speed or something. Couple of times on Friday night he couldn't even catch a corpse. Either the repeat efforts were killing him, he is injured or he couldn't give a stuff.
