Re: R23 Hawthorn v Carlton - Dominator_7 - 08-30-2015
With Bucks, Doc and Ellard now ou,t will we even be able to field a senior team ?
Might need to get Skinny Lappin to fly down and make a comeback like he did last week for the Suns reserves side lo. The way we re going, he d still probably end up being our best player lol

Looks like I'll be missing my 2nd Carlton game played in Melbourne for the past 25 years.....out of choice. What normal human being would get any satisfaction whatsoever out of watching this 'contest'? The prospect of watching this game makes me feel nauseous

I'd like to see Holman this week.
Boekhorst reminds me of a young Simon Tregenza... maybe chasing Hartung and Brad Hill and Smith around for a game might give him a clue where he needs to be at for next year.

the funny thing is, we're going to go "hard"
they will go soft - bigger fish to fry
...and they;ll still win by 15 goals

Barely 22 left to field a team. 100 point thrashing is on the cards.
Docherty going for an operation.
Anyway, as long as no one else gets seriously injured and is able to put in a full pre-season, I'll be happy.
This year is a write off. New brooms in Bolton and SOS in to try and resurrect the joint.
Let's see how the trade period goes.
Curnows signed for another two years. A very limited player with shocking disposal skills especially by foot.
Oh well. :

Re Curnow...we do need to have SOME soldiers on the ground, they all can't be elite SAS types. ???

Curnow's one big asset is that he gives his best each week and isnt one of those players that JB was talking about who doesnt turn up to play.
He has taken Carrazzo's place and while I have not been sold on Curnow in the past, there is an honesty about the way he plays that I appreciate after having to
put up with Henderson, Yarran etc not caring or showing any pride...
Re: R23 Hawthorn v Carlton: Pregame Chatter - Dominator_7 - 08-31-2015
Curnow always puts in 100% whether in training or match day.
He's a good example to have around the joint while we re developing the kids.

I certainly don't disagree with either you or Dominator 7's opinion on Curnow's effort.
I reckon he came off the ground crying, when we lost to geelong. he had given his all for no result.
BUT, that was not the point of my post.
Aside from the fact that we have been decimated by injuries and a coach in MM, who was obviously past his use by date, what has killed us in every game where we had a sniff of a chance to win or go close?
SKILLS!!!!!
Our skills are terrible. In fact, Carrazo whom he will replace, was the turnover king at Carlton, and Curnow's kicking skills particularly when trying to find a team mate on the chest who is 30-40 metres away, are terrible and bloody costly.
If he cannot improve in that area, and he's had 7 years in the system to do so, then all his effort to negate will account for little.
I hope that Bolton has and will study the players and be fully aware of their weaknesses, and will ensure that time and effort is not spared in his attempt to improve the skills of our players to a level that he took for granted at Hawthorn.

JB takes another swipe at some of the senior players (unnamed) who didn't have a crack last week.

He must be totally pi22ed at the attitude of some of those who are still on enormous coin every time they step foot on the field ($200,00 / year = $16,667 per month or over $9000 per game). Money paid under false pretenses. No doubt it is an automatic transfer because they couldn't possibly look the paymaster in the eye and accept an envelope.
They know who they are....play them this week out of necessity and then move them on.
