Not unless their form improves. They are important players for our midfield structure, but neither is near their best just at the moment. Curnow has been ordinary now for weeks. Carrots hasn't been able to shut guys down as well at the moment, but he is getting quite a few clearances. His form is considerably better than Curnow's at the moment.

We cannot drop Carrazzo ahead of Curnow or Ellard, because it would be rewarding Ellard and Curnows poor form both who have been far less influential than Carrazzo, it sends the wrong messages!

Was pleased to see Yazz stand up for himself and the boys made sure Goddard received plenty of treatment.  There are some smart asses in that side who clearly need taking down a notch - a lot of sly stuff today, but you'd expect it from the juicers.

Two games running we've sat Goddard on his ass. How did this unfold?
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Firstly, you're not allowed to hit Goddard too hard, remember McLean!

Secondly, he's a great actor, perhaps among the AFLs stop 3.

We don't sit anybody on their ar5e and especially not using Gibbs as the enforcer!

As for Chapman's 20 minutes off. It's typical of a bully, he had to go and hide somewhere to stop crying from someone actually standing up to the little prick! ;)

Good on Yazz, finally he's had enough of the sniper Chapman!

It's the best thing a few of our blokes could do this season, sets up a mindset for the future!

And FMD, Gibbs the enforcer! It's fecking embarrassing for Goddard! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

No, they clearly tried to put pressure on the lippy sod from what I saw.  Gibbs committed to a charge (good old fashioned hip and shoulder) that landed on Goddard late, and his shoulder clipped Goddards ear, who sooked up big time and made sure all and sundry knew about it.  He looked stunned that somebody actually had the temerity to line him up.

Didn't hurt him, can't see Gibbs getting rubbed out for it, though Watson et al. did the usual hatchet job.

Bitterly disappointed that Gibbs couldn't even lay the hip in properly... in fact I'd put it does as yet another clanger stat for him on the day.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I thought Walker and Armfield brought more run and Cripps was good in the middle. Still need more pace as the bombers killed us on the outside.

Thanks

I didnt expect to win...but when we came back in the last carrots had a critical moment on the half forward flank,  if he executed a good kick to a player a goal would bring us in within 2 kicks...just a clear example these blokes have run their race ....time to move on these old players and rebuild.

Harsh, had 25 posses at 80% efficiency in a tagging role. He contributed today.

There would be a dozen or more others in the team who are first up for the kibosh today ahead of Carrazzo!

We wanted blokes to lift, and he was one who lifted, you must reward effort to send the right messages.

I haven't watched the game yet and listened on the radio. It looks like we mucked up many opportunities. Very poor kicking skills and shots on goal.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

Ok retire him for it ::) The 11.18 wasn't an issue for you? Cripps, Everitt kick their sitters, we'd be having a different discussion. They're critical moments.

Chris, how was the auction ?

Broke the record for the most dollars per square metre in Balwyn, $3179 per sqm! House sold for 2.122 million. My mum is over the moon. Thanks for asking. ;)
