Took a couple of defensive marks while rucking which seemed to get him back on track defensively, letting him get mobile had at least as much benefit for him as it does Levi.

Next week, I'd give Kreuzer a rest, bring Weitering back in as the KPD, and play Jones in the ruck and around the ground far more than we have previously. Hawthorn have lost Big Boy, they are as weak in the ruck as any team in the comp, they will need to ruck Roughead with Ceglar, and Jones could be quite effective as he can keep pace with Roughead!

McKay will get slaughtered by Roughead, because as soon as the teams spread from the stoppage Roughead will be pushing solo inside F50 and McKay will be watching it happen from 20m away!

And Cripps is in real danger of becoming our next Judd. At least Bolton has publicly flagged this and has indicated that he needs help.

Sacking the coach might give us a temporary sugar hit but ultimately it would lead to our ruin.
Most supporters underestimated the dire state of our list, brought about by decades of negligence and poor management, there's simply no easy options.
The harsh reality is that it might be 6 or 8 years until it reaches fruition, until Curnow, Weitering, Dow, O'Brien, SPS, McKay and the likes are old enough and experienced enough to form a quality core which we've lacked since the 1990's.
The hard work is all ahead of us, and one of the hardest things we have to do is to convince the young players that their day will come if they stick.
Sack the coach now and it all unravels.

No doubt about that, why the focus on this jumper?

We know this jumper was preferred by many Carlton fans, just from our very own forums feedback.

Three facts that won't suit the media's position so you won't hear it reported, someone from our club has to find the balls to take some media heat or we are going to go extinct!

They were all in relation to the people on this site, not the wider footballing community.

I just got through saying your focus on the media is unhealthy.....prove it again.
Simply, WGAF what the media think about OUR jumper.
Do we like it? That is all that matters.
