...and the little Fisher is also really accurate with disposal...

Good luck Zac Fisher, may it be the first of 200 games for the CFC.
2016 is looking like an outstanding recruiting year, not before time.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Looking at the Gold Coast team, it is amazing they are not winning games. Tom Lynch is as good a forward as there is going around at the moment. Jack Martin should be turning into a superstar. They have a lot of players ranked more highly than us. But what do they do?
On paper there should be NO chance of us winning. But we don't play footy on paper.
Live Long and Prosper!

And there's Polson and McKay yet to come... (although McKay was recruited the year before when you factor in his injury, this is his first year).

Reckon the blokes who need at least a solid game to ensure selection for next week would be - Pickett, Thomas, Casboult and C Curnow. We need something from these blokes to help our confidence in them.

Congratulations Zac Fisher. May you quickly find your place and showcase your talents.

Here here. The list is looking more like a competitive and complete list every week. There will be plenty of inconsistencies to come, but the foundations are building nicely. Exciting times bluebaggers. Have fun.

Go new Blues
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Looks like we intend to bombard GC with a pace attack on a firm, dry track. Just hope the forwards can take advantage of any swift ball movement that we create.

As Clarko correctly said, leg speed and ball movement speed are not the same thing, and they don't always coexist in the same team. The latter is much more important than the former. We need to be moving the ball a lot faster - it's been too stop start in the first three rounds, giving the opposition too  much time to set up.

Too much of our good work in trying to move the ball quickly has been undone by skill errors or poor disposal. I'm hoping the new guys will start to make a difference by eliminating this on a dry track. Kerridge (poor disposal) and Graham (slow/poor disposal) being dropped is part of this drive.

Yes - although you need to get your goals within a certain time frame, because teams can only hang onto the ball for short periods at a time.

If you watch any game of footy, the most any team can hang onto the ball is 2 or 3 minutes, and that's a maximum, even when they play keepings off. After this time period, you either turn it over to the opposition, or else the ball becomes contested. Teams can of course string together a few of these 2 or 3 minute plays, but even then it's a stretch.

There is merit in the "play on fast" style of play, because you're seeking the quickest possible avenue to goal, and trying to score before the inevitable turnover occurs. Too much dicking around with the ball is a big problem for us IMO.

A lot of faith being shown in Charlie, straight in after injury.

The kid has talent, he has shown it, he just lacks the confidence that he belongs.
Maybe he has taken a big hit or something else is in his head or even what BB is asking him to do goes against his natural game style.
So he is always double checking his actions not doing things 2nd nature like.
He just needs a game where he takes a couple of grabs in front of goals and slots them and then I think we will see the real CC.
Just say CC  :D
2025... Moir of the same to come

Been dropped before getting a game! Harsh.

I think you mean Palmer. ;)
