As for Charlie, I would have given him in run the ruck to try and get into the game. Probably a stupid idea but the way he is playing at the moment, I surely [u][b]couldnt hurt.[/b][/u]
I don't think it's a dumb idea at all. Ruck, on-ball, backline... anything, just get the kid into the game.

I wonder if something is up in the Curnow family. Ed and Charlie were well down by their own lofty standards, I wonder if something is up. I hope not obviously but something isnt right.

Agree on Jones but Lynch did his job IMO and it wasnt all about kicking goals, Weitering played ok but the presence of Lynch made it harder for us and three goals wasnt a bad return
for a bloke who hasnt played footy for a long time. Tigers didnt have Caddy and I thought Lynch did enough to offset that....

I thought Weeters showed smarts and poise in heavy traffic last night. One day we will be able to play him in his preferred position and we might see how good he can be. Gorilla-minding fullback isn't his go.

I'm thinking injury wise. He couldn't play in the backline right now. Confidence is down and if someone gets hold of him could make it worse.

He was ok and more assured than last season..though if Lynch had stuck another couple of those marks and ended up with a bag of five it might not have looked so good for him.
Be interesting how he goes vs Port who are missing Dixon and his likely opponent maybe Jack Watts...I'd expect our man to subdue Watts who is under the pump more than most this season given his poor last season and his off field activities.

Patches of the game showed that at our best we can be very competitive. But again, how many times do poor skills absolutely crucify us?
Positives: Walsh, Fisher, Newman, Setterfield. McGovern started poorly but worked his way into the game. McKay a bit the same. And Cripps is a colossus for us and 2, if not 3, Brownlow votes for mine last night. Phillips is very competitive in the ruck but was killed around the ground by Nankervis and that's where we miss Kreuzer.
Negatives: Charlie had an absolute shocker...fumbled, looked slow and lost count of how many marks he dropped. Garlett...why are we trying to convert him to a defender? He doesn't have any defensive aspects to his game at all. Saw him do it countless times in the JLT and again last night where he goes up into a pack for a mark or spoil and ball spills over the back to his direct opponent. Fasolo was poor but it was worth the punt IMO....he'll only get better.
The Mckay shot in the 3rd where he hit the post when we were within about 15 points was crucial. It would've given us more momentum and maybe we might've cashed in more on the absence of Rance.
I think we should look at replacing Garlett in defence with SPS and try Garlett on a wing.

One of the few who can deliver the ball consistently. Happy to get rid of Garlett. What about Kennedy? What's happened to him? Last year he was the great white hope. Now he's a nowhere man.
