Of those named on the bench you'd think that Lobbe, Silvagni and Byrne are certain to play which makes for one possible change.
Kerridge or Graham for Polson would be my best guess but we might go in unchanged.
They have some very handy outs and we go well against them, a win would surprise but not shock.
Shawny was accurate IMO and the kid is lucky to be playing because glimpses of anything great are rare....
Have a gander at these stats.....Polson had 4 disposals @ 25% DE with 2 clangars...plus 4 tackles.......Not really a cracker of a game you would agree.
He is obviously a popular player with his teammates and coach because he wouldnt be getting a game based on his output IMO.....
What issue, it's imaginary!
Difference wise there is already a some stripes versus a solid colour, white and black shorts, the CGU logo.
Perhaps one team can wear flashing lights on their head to make sure the nerds can tell them apart!
FFS, this was never an issue in the days or black and white, low definition analogue TV. Now that we can see a blackhead on some players face in full HD the jumpers have become a problem!
MadGuire doing this for a reason, he probably wants more marketing space and is too petrified to tell the toothless hoard they need to buy an alternate jumper!
I haven't seen a very clear angle of the Daisy bump, but from the two or three angles I've seen it looked like Daisy's shoulder hits Greenwood in the chest and their heads clash. Because Daisy doesn't fold like a pack of cards apparently he's a mongrel!
Also the jumper clash, there it is in the media today, the truth behind the spuddly left field out of the blue unscripted jumper clash question.

MadGuire has come out and stated there is too much of a clash between the traditional jumpers and he is going to act on the Collingwood jumper. Decoded, that probably means one of two things.
Firstly, and least likely, he is folding to the AFL's wishes and he commissioning a Collingwood clash jumper. Alternatively, despite saying that he wants Carlton to retain it's traditional jumper for away games against Collingwood, that is all just smokescreen because MadGuire knows the AFL will do his dirty work to get Carlton to change it's kit when we play away to the Pies!
Sends a bad message to players too - good form doesn't get rewarded!
How the f... does O'Shea stay in? Laughable.
That would probably be something to do with the fact that we have been cr@p for the best part of 25 years and a losing culture has firmly taken a grip of the whole club. I wonder if we have anybody in the club in the strategic management and executive positions who really knows or understands what a successful club looks like from the inside? Is BB just yet another messiah, albeit in different robes? All very well to do resets but do we have a workable plan to move forward? I don't know but what I believe is that we first need a very strong framework of coaching staff and senior players in order to foster and develop our younger ones. Is it even possible to be successful in the AFL environment doing what we are doing, especially from the very low point that we started at? Maybe just maybe it comes down to patience and time? I'm unfortunately running out of both.
