Bontampelli and Crippa in the midfield anyone.. that would be great... I mean why not Selwood and Dangerfield playing together same team.. ok I can stop dreaming now.You're starting to think like the old Carlton again, buy buy buy. Forget those days mate, BB and the new Carlton is all about build build build. Quote Selected

Very accurate kicks for goal also.Yup. They've been greta thus far.Matty Wright, although a recently turned 26 yo, has been very good also.I think they'd like Buckley to be able to play this role well also.Gallucci looks handy.Maybe why we are looking at Brandon Matera from the Suns (or so 'they' say).

Nothing to do with impatience. If you're kicking 3 or 4 goals in each game of VFL you're good enough to play. In you come. This is the opposite of impatience - this is letting performance dictate selection and ignoring the surname all together. Weitering / CCurnow already went straight in - why should this guy be different just because of his last name? Quote Selected

As if playing a couple of games when he was 19 equates to an excuse to play crape for 5 years. Never got that one. SOSOS is no different from Curnow / Weitering. If your performance warrants it you play. BB has been on about that from the start. Quote Selected

If that happens, either Jack plays in the midfield or we are one down in our midfield rotations.Folk seem to forget that Jack is coming off a shoulder reconstruction and has had very little football in the past 12 months. He is struggling to run out VFL games and his game time is being managed carefully. Whether he plays or not has nothing to do with his surname, it's about whether he is fit enough and as good as the other contenders for a spot as a medium forward. Quote Selected

Sumner is part of the midfield rotation and there is a fair bit of movement between forward and defence so bringing a defender in for a forward doesn't change the team balance or reduce the number of midfielders.
