Don't think Harry will play maybe there as a mental reminder for casboult that others are coming for his spot eventually, do something

McKay should play IMHO.

Casboult is rated elite or above average among key forwards in 5 categories and below average or poor in 4 categories. There's obviously room for improvement but he's not the spud that some so-called experts think he is. I reckon he needs to kick 30-40 goals at around 60% to extend his career.
Casboult's numbers are behind both Brad Fisher and Setanta O'Hailpin, he's a spud.

If he was an F1 driver that report is akin to saying he's the fastest, best overtaker, fittest and strongest competitor in the field.
But he crashes every race!

No reason in the world why he shouldn't.
He's hardly a 2 pound weakling....
Re: 2017 Rd 2 Pre Game Panic Carlton vs Melbourne - Pratty - 03-31-2017
Charlie Curnow to start in the guts IMO.

Exactamondo - he's simply gotta play.

Agree...I see CC as a mid who can play forward and we need another big body around the footy, he also seems to need a bit of warming up in the games I have seen.
Can look lethargic and I reckon a bit more early action is what he needs to fire up...
Re: 2017 Rd 2 Pre Game Panic Carlton vs Melbourne - Mav - 03-31-2017
It would be interesting to know how much Cripps has been limited by his pre-season layoff. He was a shadow of himself in Rd1. Will he grow stronger as the season progresses or will we need to wait until 2018 to see him return to his best? Problem is, we don't really have another in-and-under.
