Jack had another very good game.
Gartlett got 17 touches. That's all I know there.

Probably time for a couple of games at senior level...but I like the way we're managing him and letting him learn a role.

Injuries or no injuries a 9 goal deficit in the last quarter is unacceptable against Essendon's VFL team.
I think that Fraser's run his race, never mind running patterns we need someone to breathe some fire into these young blokes.

...or we need our own side at this level where results take a back seat to developing our youth to play at a senior level.

Winning is contagious, so is losing.

There has to be a plan or a point to it.
Sacrifices for the long term good.
'If' you can put that mind set in place it can compensate for the fact you're not winning.

We pretty much have that now, but will have it from next year when they change the entire system. I think its coming for next year.
That being said, having that little level of seperation from the club allows its to escape some scrutiny.
Seeing Carlton last on the ladder in the AFLW was not ideal.
Seeing Carlton last on the ladder in the AFL is embarrassing.
Seeing Northern Blues last on the ladder in the VFL is easier to dismiss as 'not our problem'.
Seeing Carlton last on the ladder in the VFL is the final nail in the coffin.

No point recruiting players if we can't manage their injuries. I am very interested to understand wtf is going on with our injury management, or apparent lack of should I say.
We'll be scratching to field 2 teams if this mystifying trend continues.

When all is said and done the Northern Blues is a sporting team and everyone plays sport to win, telling any young player that winning isn't important in the grand scheme is a bad message to send in my opinion.
