Don't talk to me about stats, in Jaksch's case they are meaningless, as worthless as telling me Everitt is our leading goalkicker.
How is 20 goals in a season so far meaningless? Not as if he's kicked 18 of them in the last 5 minutes of games when they were over. I saw one game and they were from very strong contested marks or good leads.
31 goals for Everitt last year wasn't meaningless either just that it was last year, not this year. Just meant last year he played well, this year crap. Figures tell us that clearly. Just a stupid statement to say they were meaningless stats.

MCG
Hey crash, apologies if I'm stepping on your toes old son..........
Now, if only the Blues can step up to the mark....
It may sound weird, but playing on the MCG doesn't appear to be helping us at the moment. We used to play that ground well. I wonder what happened?
Next Sunday could have a really small crowd.

Seriously thinking about not going. 6 goals last week. 7 today. Hardly worth watching is it?

It could get ugly, but NicNat isn't playing, so we won't get done by 100 points.

First of all, I'd have Jaksch in the team mainly because we desperately need KPPs at both ends of the ground. However, I'm not yet convinced that he gives the effort required to perform at AFL level. In the NBs game I watched live he drifted in and out and Phillips had more impact as a key forward (and we know he's not a key forward).

Give Weitering the job on Kennedy, we'll lose anyway so it will be good for his education, Plowman can have a crack at LeCras.
It doesn't matter whether Casboult gets suspended or not seeing as his replacements are Jones and Jaksch, neither of whom really deserve a game, but Levi's lost what little form he had and if we keep picking him we're just not fair dinkum.
I'd give Buckley or Boekhorst a run as well, give them the chance to show something before we make a decision.
Vojo-Rainbow, Whiley, Tutt and Clem Smith probably won't be at Carlton next year, Gorringe likewise unless we signed him for two years.
Maybe we'll rookie one or two of them.

Bring in Jones to replace Casboult (if outed) and play Jones and Phillips as the two key forwards and play Kruz as the one and only with only minor relief from Phillips when necessary.

I love the Cortés logic in some of these threads it is analogous to;
"Lets teach the kids that fire is dangerous by throwing them in it!"
How about we start the newbies off with some small victories first, like blowing out a candle, before we throw them on a burning ship?
Re: Rd 17 : Pre Game polite and refined discourse - Blues v Eagles - Baggers - 07-11-2016
Might be a few compulsory changes for this game...
Levi out.
Thomas possibly out with a calf.
Everitt out with chronic lethargy and DGAS.
Jones, Curnow & Buckley in?
Re: Rd 17 : Pre Game polite and refined discourse - Blues v Eagles - cookie2 - 07-11-2016
Levi's replacement will be very interesting and could be quite revealing.
