Tanking!

Well the idea that we are having the sh1te year that we had to have has certainly been firmly established so the opportunity for increasing our draft picks currency has certainly been created.

He'll be there to generate attack out of defence.
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
I think most MC's make up the actual team structure as they going along on Thursday nights once they have their 22.

Sends a bad message to players too - good form doesn't get rewarded!
How the f... does O'Shea stay in? Laughable.

Maybe, he just didn't do what he was asked to do? Yes, he got the ball, but did he run back hard enough defensively? Was he supposed to negate a certain player's influence and didn't? Unless you're in the inner sanctum, we an only guess.

O'Shea and Mullet both lack physicality, he may be tried on a smaller HFF this week that will allow him to run and intercept.

thats why he has been retained? I have been on his case about his kicking especially as he is a turn over merchant but Bolton must be liking something about his game that we all cant see.
Mullet obviously didnt follow instruction and has been dropped or didnt contest well enough......
Dont undertand why Grahan got dropped, was one of our better players and worked harder than I have seen him as well.....selection remains a mystery at the CFC... :o

another player who gets a game every week and never scrutinised is plowman,what does he do to deserve a game.

In the unlikely event we get it forward our height might stretch their shortish defence.
The cats have taken us lightly though in one area.... Stanley is a deadset spud and Kreuzer will murder him if he rucks.
Cats midfield looks awesome c. F. ours but we have a far better balanced side (on paper) this week.

Watched a bit of Stewart and Henry from Geelong and was impressed...Stewart is a Scarlett clone and Henry is a very solid player....
I think we will have trouble with the Cats 2nd tier players like Duncan, Menegola, Blicavs etc, we dont have the depth to handle them as well as containing the trinity.
Kruezer should dominate Stanley in the ruck but I expect Stanley to trouble us up forward...seen him play on Weitering and our man couldnt go with him.
Ratugolea is a bit of a freaky type of player, no ruck nous but can take a big grab and a real athlete....
