You've gotta drop someone.
Someone from that list.
If you are bringing in those 2 and NOT dropping Pittonet....who are you dropping?

As for Owies, it was also in front of me, he grabbed the jumper like it meant something to him and he as telling the Carlton faithfull on the fence as much. I loved that display from Owies, like SOS, the jumper means something to him, there was nothing "look at me" about it. He stood up last night, more than I can say about many others. I personally wont be criticising him for a long while, he belongs.100% agree. One of the few who flew the flag for mine.
It's a disgrace that he as a former basketball is the only one I'm confident of kicking straight even with two coleman medalists in the side.
Too bad fev played under voss at Brisbane otherwise. I'd be getting him exclusively training with Charlie and Harry for most of the week.

and either one of Durdin or Motlop OR dare I say it, Hollands (the kid needs a rest at some stage). Hell I'd even given Weitering a break the way he's been playing at the moment. I'm not serious about that last one

I don't think Voss would stand in their way if they wanted Fev as a kicking coach. I suspect Voss had several problems at the Lions, and Fev was simply one. I'm guessing he would've been sacked even if Fev stayed at Carlton. I have no idea how he feels about Fev now. Fevola has apologised to Voss publicly, and I'm sure he understands that Fev is a much loved player among the Blues faithful, especially in recent times.
At any rate, being able to kick well is one thing, being able to impart the knowledge is another. I've no idea if Fev has what it takes.

Easy you say.
You've just dropped Ed and Hollands, our best 2 runners and replaced them with KPP's.
Congratulations, you've just handed the opposition an easy win.
If you wanna bring in 2 talls....you really should look at dropping 2 talls.
Re: AFL Rd 9 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Western Bulldogs - madbluboy - 05-14-2023
Only Jack Reiwoldt could help Harry.

We have handed the opposition bar that WAFL side an easy win every week since we have gone with 1 ruck.
Re: AFL Rd 9 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Western Bulldogs - NudeNut - 05-14-2023
Pitto last night dominated English in the ruck taps, no good around the ground but that is a weakness we know about and should be able to handle. My issue was our mids, I was at the game and it was so frustrating watching Pitto wrestle for best position get the tap out, usually straight to his feet or in front of him only to see Bulldogs players getting to the drop before our mids, we were always behind. I'm not sure what else Pitto was supposed to do, he cant hit it over the opposition heads, our mids have to fight for best position cause even from the stands I could see where the ball was going to fall. Not sure if that's coaching, ability or desire but it was lacking all night.
Re: AFL Rd 9 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Western Bulldogs - PaulP - 05-14-2023
It was good to see that we were able to kick a competitive (and almost winning) score with minimal input from Charlie and Harry. I've been hoping to see this all season. Also good to see that Owies, after a long lay off, was able to come in and play a difficult position, and have instant impact. Well played.
