Do we need to drop one of Cripps or Hewett  to play BenC as a midfielder?
Do we need to?
Yes.

Will we?
No

So how about this....
Out: HOK.
In: Ben C.

Cripps to FF and changing in the ruck.

That way we have another option at FF....and one that can actually wrestle.
We can play him as a ruck and have 4 mids in the middle.
We give exposure to Ben C in the process.

Yep
Ben C needs to be given an opportunity and there's probably no better time.
Move Cripps to the forward line, give him license to create a bit of havoc and hope that players like Byrne and Evans can capitalise on it.

Limited list talent wise being coached by a man who is struggling with a modern game plan which is foreign to how he really wants the game played and looks like a deer in the headlights when the momentum changes and gets that paralysed look which all Carlton coaches of recent times get.
Zero leadership from senior players, the captain looks like he has checked out and I also question our fitness.
The talent wasn't limited in the 1st quarter!!!
The first quarter wasnt as good as it looks, Melbourne made plenty of errors and served up the ball, the first ten minutes was rubbish from both teams. Do we want to live in denial or do we want to face reality that it was a low grade team we were playing and that we still have a poor system. The Richmond game was another horrible game of poor skills despite the bright start, there are about 4-5 teams in the comp who play the worst brand of non watchable football and we are one of them, we play another on Easter Friday. Id rather see a good brand/style of play than an early flurry of goals caused by Nths self inflicted errors, we need to have a good system to fall back on to create our own goals when the other team are not handing us easy goals and thats what we lack...
