Bewildered Fasolo gets a start considering his F up and zero elapsed form.


So how much longer does he have to pay for his indiscretion ?

he has obviously done everything right since to be considered.

Maybe he has been dominating intra club match stimulation and has been
doing twice as well as Polson therefore jumping him ?

Every Coach in the comp., without hesitation, would pick Fasolo before Polson...
Finals, then 4 in a row!

I hear what you're saying but it seems like handing out a game too easily for mind....  I would be a lot happier if he had played a JLT game as well.

His F up was major, in my view he's lucky he wasn't shown the door.   We're a professional club,  not a place for wash outs to crash and collect their super cheque.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Assuming Fasolo plays, as suggested, my thoughts on the team (remembering bench positions can vary at the start):

Plowman              Jones                Simpson
Thomas               Weitering           Newman
Fisher             Petrevski-Seton       Setterfield
Murphy               C. Curnow          Cunningham
McGovern            McKay                Fasolo

R: Phillips, Cripps, Walsh
I/C: Gibbons, Dow, E. Curnow, Garlett

I guess there's always an argument for Ed Curnow to start in the middle if he's playing a shutdown role. And Paddy Dow could easily take Cunningham's spot on a flank to start.

Interested to see what others thing. And assuming too that Silvagni misses out.

Thanks for the update Fly....with the 3 hour time difference here I'll be shutting up shop at work and heading home early to catch the start!!!

Paying $5.25 for a Carlton win....that's worth a $50 punt I reckon.

Better taking the margin wins....eg i got 19s for a Blues win by >24 pts.

And 6.5s for a 1 to 39 pts win......

Fasolo was always going to play.

he did the right thing after the muck-up and apologised to the right people, then went out and trained his guts out.
After that he had the people that count on his side.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

No one doubts Carrots' first senior games (not as many as you suggest) were back pocket/HBF taking the opposition small forwards - doesn't mean he's not a mid through and through....

doesn't change the simple, glaringly obvious fact to most, that Polson - at this stage of his development - appears to be a net liability. If you're actually trying to win a game of footy.

As for the pressure wins games spin, well you do have a long held position of stating the bleeding obvious.....

re bold. Its all there in the Blueseum. Free for anyone to look up themselves.

As for stating the bleeding obvious....see the point above. I state it, you ignore it. Perhaps i'm not the problem with that one?  ;)

Yep. The '23rd player' would be mighty upset he's been left out of the side for a bloke who hasn't played a game, and has f***ed up in the off-season.

Sure, he 'may' have done the right things since, but would you expect otherwise?
It appears he hasn't suffered a penalty, and has been rewarded.
Not good for team morale i suspect.

He better put in a blinder and reward the coach for his inclusion.
