Re: 2018 Rd 3: Pre game Palaver; Carlton vs. Collingwood

150 games, just turning 27, averaging about 16 touches and a goal a game in a poorly performing side, excellent skills, and Port paid pick 30 odd for him!
He was pick one and Melbourne supporters have been pissed with him since day one because he's not a champion, but if anyone should know all about that situation and disregard it when assessing him it's Carlton.
We've been taking pot shots at Murphy, Gibbs and Kreuzer for years after all.
Now our fans are kicking Weitering, and after just two games the radicals have started questioning Dow's future labelling him a chook runner!
The low draft picks are not the problem, no kid can be expected to lift his game 200% to cover for the surrounding spuds that deliver only 50% of what they should!
It was no accident that when ACoS played in conjunction with Rowe in defence the kids around them lifted, even if the other end of the ground remained rubbish!
We need one half decent KPF aging or not, and to get Rowe or ACoS back in the side to lead the way down back, and we'll be 200% better. At the moment we have zero structure pretty much everywhere you look!
