Yep, and finished the game without one broken finger-nail though the wind did play havoc with his hair.

But all done in the best paaaarssible taste!

Another reason as to why Cam Wood should be selected this week. The single most well worth it 50m penalty ever...lol.

Personnel aside, when we won four games in a row, the common themes were:
1. We locked the ball in our fwd line at all costs consistently.
2. We set up a zone that consisted of a "wall" which was very difficult to penetrate
3. We got the ball into the fwd line fast and often.

We didnt do 1 and 2 well at all (from what I could tell) against Norf. Rectify this and we are a chance every week.

He has a future in AFL is a good size and a straight kick but his Carlton career is over and buyers will want him.

Send him to GWS.

He can make cameo performances there as a 3rd tall, utility type that allows the Giants stars to be the focal point, yet reap the rewards.

Could help us with getting a few of their boys over here.

I've a feeling Carlton will be Everitt's last AFL club.

Clubs will be well aware of his strengths and weaknesses.
As a trade option I just cant see a club that would be prepared to offer us more than he's worth to us.

I mentioned a couple of months ago that his old coach who is now up north is keen to reunite.

For how much longer remains to be seen....the club that is ????

I think that's right Lods.

The other factor is that it appears that Bolton's opinion of Everitt is very different to that of some supporters  :)

So I'm going along on Sunday which means we will probably get well and truly flogged. But here's hoping we break my hoodoo, make a good fist of it, put on a show and send me home fully loaded and happy.
Go Blues.

If we put plenty of pressure on the Cats and exploit their slow ball movement we have a slim hope. We, on the other hand, need to move the ball quickly and accurately.
