Boekhorst is a much more polished footballer and was the ideal sub.....he is older , more ready and should have played...
Whiley should play this week..190cm bigger bodied and we will need that vs Essendon.
When Cripps is fit I want him back in and in the middle with Whiley.....Bell can Rotate with them, we need bigger stronger bodies to combat the other teams bigger mids......how many times did Priddis get the ball away because we couldnt bring him down?....McIntosh from Richmond was the same..no one could hang a tackle on his bigger frame.
Watch Jobe this week....he will stand up in tackles and give the ball off if we dont man him up with a decent sized opponent.....
I'm happy to play kids but well built kids ..not schoolboys who look like a deer in the headlights...
Agree from the outside looking in Smith was the wrong kid to play. The question to ask is why play him ahead of everyone else?
The answer probably lies in terms of the way he trains, or attitude he had shown but you would need a more intimate knowledge of the group and how they have taken to life at Carlton to have the answer.

As part of my med student training I spent 3 months working in Beijing at a top orthopaedic hospital there.
One of the surgeons had recently returned from the US after doing 2 years of training, specifically in shoulder repairs. One day I was asking hime about it and asked him what was the main thing he learned, he laughed and said "don't have shoulder surgery, it doesn't work". Obviously he was being overdramatic for comedy sake, but the results are not great.
I'm not sure if Thomas had had shoulder problems in the past, but I wouldn't advocate surgical management for a shoulder after the first dislocation unless there was some serious strucural damage involved.
Didn't Judd have two shoulder operations before he turned 18 ?

Where is Buckley ? That kid plays with heart LOVE of the jumper!
It is really hard to watch them play this type of footy they come out of the blocks good..and then ;(
I really think imo that Mick is over coaching this team, and they are way over thinking things. We were never that team. We were the team that played with our hearts on our sleeves with guts, we were the underdogs coming back from 40 points down in the third quarters, just playing footy for the jumper..So PLEASE Mick...Dont over coach this week let em run onto the park and play footy. we need to bet these scum bag bummers! IT IS A MUST!

The team this week will be very interesting. Menzel and White both out.
Walker, Graham, Armfield, Whiley, Buckley, Boekhorst must all be in the mix after last weeks practice match.

You'd think Smith gets a rest, Walker, Armfield and Whiley in.
No point letting the EFC Juice Junkies smash the lighter bodies! We threw Murphy to the wolves against a rampaging Brisbane and he has never been quite the same for what that kent Copeland did to the lad!

We've been bashed around the head pretty badly already this week. We're going to need a spirited performance, a limp effort and it is going to be complete mayhem.

They'll be coming in cock-a-hoop led by their coach, so far demonstrating how invincible and indestructible he is. Heady stuff indeed. This will be more than anything else a massive character test for our guys.

I just want a fair dinkum, honest 4 quarter effort.
