Craig Hutchinson on FC confidently suggested Daisy wont get his 15 games and wont be at the club next season.....
Has that sack of crape ever got anything right?
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

The senior side really struggled for leadership and cohesion in Daisy's absence.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

After 3 pages of arguing  about Thomas and his contract any chance of talking about the VFL game and how other players performed. Or has that been moved to another thread ?

I thought some of the other players were almost as good as Daisy Thomas.

Sorry, couldn't resist! ;D

Looking at the statistics and specifically at small/mids who might come in for the injured fisher, there is 1 column i found very handy.
Tackles.
Daisy 4
Boekhorst 0
Pickett 0
Armfield 0

Both Daisy and Boeky had 30+ touches each and looked to have dominated.
Pickett and Army managed only 25 between them.

You'd have to back Daisy over Boeky for that column alone i think. Most agree Boeky needs to work on his defensive side of the game and it appears there is still more work required.

If Picket wasn't injured that stat is very disappointing

Leadership comes in many forms.

Perhaps sacrificing your own game at senior level, playing a variety of different roles,  and ensuring the team does well at the expense of one's own game is more worthwhile than people think.

The Marchbank video reinforces Fraser's game assessment.

Also have a look at the Jones video, this bloke is maturing and he's got great potential.

This is a great situation for BB, selection is about to become a headache for the first time in a decade. All he really needs to do is stay honest and true to his mantra, by rewarding effort when opportunity arises.

Pickett is going from bad to worse - hope it turns around for him soon - he is good enough. Prefer if he plays on the wing like his junior days..he is not so much a forward pocket

That's the kind of headache coaches want!

It seems that Jones has really responded well to being challenged to play roles that he's not used to/familiar with.  Perhaps it could save his career.  Great story if it does and good intuition by our development coaches.

Yep, some blokes just have to have the contest in front of them, they really struggle when the threat comes from behind, Pickett might be one of them!

He got it right in business....Is the media arm of the AFL with his company Crocmedia, so he has the channels to voice his crape....
Doesnt forget anyone either, if you have crossed Hutchy over the years and Crocmedia are your new bosses
then he wont be taking prisoners..
