I saw him twist against the bombers.  I reckon he's carrying something that's making twist and turn a challenge.
Probably all that money in his pocket...
Yep, wallet is so thick one cheek is like its on a brick when he sits down.
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

I thought that Tom played pretty well last week and had him in my best five.

He's not a key forward and probably never will be and I reckon he'll be a lot better tonight with Skull sharing the key forward and back up ruck role with Harry.  Skull is a more natural and competent forward and I think that he and Harry could do well tonight.

Yes I agree, TDK is best as a ruck with a F50 rotation, he's not a KPF and is not likely to ever be a KPF.

Are you saying you finally agree about 2 rucks being no good?

I'm certainly not saying that!  TDK and Skull are both ruckmen first and foremost but Skull can do OK as a key forward.

It's not the number of ruckmen in the team, it's the number of ruckmen who can be effective in other roles.

Correct.
This was the crux of the discussion, that was overlooked by most.
The other was that it was dependent on our spine and how fit it was.

As for Skull being ok as a key forward.....jury is still out on that one.
But without Charlie, there is a spot open for him.

I'm just looking for the reasons, over these last 3 games, why we stuck with Voss. Hopefully there will be something, somewhere.

I don't expect much change this year.

Over the off-season i expect a few changes that will help you find that reason.

Watching us play now is like watching us in 1965 when I was a kid. Same game style.
