Re: Rd 20: Carlton V Bulldogs (Pre-Game)
Reply #65 –
Casboult is unlucky...I am a fan of Sam Rowe but he was ordinary last week after a quiet game the week before and I would be worried if I was Levi that Mick isnt a fan because Levi should be playing this week and I think he would be more useful vs Minson.
That's a bit tough EB. From memory Rowe had around 17 hitouts at a fairly high to advantage ratio, and against top opposition. I don't believe Casboult has ever managed that many hitouts in a game. They're both still learning the caper but Rowe is ahead at this stage . . . and Casboult isn't dominating in the NBs.
I'd like to think that Minson will have his hands full trying to cope with Warnock rather than us worrying about bringing in a big body to bang heads with him. Although I was impressed with the way Casboult threw his weight around against Box Hill. It's a little bit different when it's a lot harder to get near the pill.
re: Graham....probably Menzel and Bootsma is enough kids for this week, think Graham may get a game vs the Tigers or Port.
Again, I haven't seen Graham really take the game by the scruff of the neck in the NBs, but then neither have Menzel or Bootsma. You're right though, we can't play too many kids, even against average opposition.
