Seems our defence will be tall again.
Agree on OShea, while he stuffs up with the ball is he stopping his man? or maybe just a coaches favourite?, I know the players love him and he trains very hard maybe thats why he survives.....with Mullett out I reckon OShea must be next in line for the chop....

4 out of 5 ain't bad!!!!
The muck-up with Murphy is really irritating. From my own experiences doing what he did was a waste of time. He needed an op: get it over and done with instead of wasting to those weeks for nothing. Now he will be out for longer.
Not including another ruckman is nothing but insane. For the last two weeks Kreuzer has been obliterated in the taps. His own will and ability to get the ball got him (and the team) over the line against Essendon (and Essendon's very ordinary midfield). Last week we had no other option to control Gawn, who killed us. Did we learn from it? Not a bit!
If Casboult was there, he could do some ruckwork. But he isn't there and H is not ready for it.
Geelong's rucks have been ordinary, but we are setting ourselves up for disaster.
Maybe it is a good thing that I couldn't get a ticket and that it isn't on TV.

Does that seem like they are taking us lightly? Or simply an overreaction to the bombers loss??
I'm happy with those changes.

Not if we play man on man... but if we dont.
He'll be there to generate attack out of defence.

Just throwing it out there, Jones to be used as 2nd ruck.
I hope...and have been advocating to see Jones in the ruck.
It's where he alternates that will be interesting.

It will be if Jones plays back.
The fact that he's been named on the interchange means one of three things.
-It's a smokey and he'll start in defence.
-He'll ruck and follow for a fair bit of the game...give him a roving commision
-It's a message too him that he needs to tighten up or he'll be playing VFL

Incomprehensible - one of the few who really put in last week - Graham got votes from all but one who bothered to post votes for the Jim Park medal in the pathetic team performance against Melbourne.
Re: 2018 Rd 10: Pre Game Irritation: Carlton vs Geelong - Robblues - 05-24-2018
Not been a huge Graham fan, but think he was hard done by here , maybe really showing where sits in the pecking order. Not many times a player has 28 touches and is dumped, especially when another mid as in Murphy is out injured as well? Either play him or more him on

They could have omitted the Father, Son and Holy Ghost and still win, but maybe that looks a little obvious.

Well he must either be injured, was unaccountable or failed to follow team rules.
We've seen this and wonder why it keeps happening for a long time, several coaches worth of the same result for Graham, there has to be a reason for it!
I think to get the answer we may need to start watching his direct opponents more!
PS: His DE% was only 57%, that might be the real cause,
something I had forgotten about his game! I recall him missing targets last season by 15m when he was only kicking from 30m under no pressure!
