Charlie owes us a big one as does McGovern and no Wines means Cripps should dominate.
Blues by 17 points as I reckon our kids are better than theirs and its time we won interstate and we wont get a better chance
vs such a weak Port outfit..
Very much a game we can win.
Unlike many people on here, I was not that disappointed with our performance against the Tigers.
They are favourites for the flag this year and we won the second and third quarters against them. Not a bad effort.
We don't appear to have copped any injuries and should have Jack.S available this week.
Kreuser and Kennedy probably will still be out.
I don't see us making any drastic changes.
Garlett may be on shakey ground if we want to bring Jack in.
I reckon all our new blokes showed enough and will all make the grade IMO.
Phillips might struggle in the ruck battles but in most set positions we match up pretty well.
Wines is a big loss for Port.
A win now would do wonders for the Club in a number of ways, so I am full of optimism.

My optimism is at rock bottom. Dreams replaced by disillusionment. Any CFC supporter going into a game expecting a win is setting themself up for crushing disappointment.

We usually get beat up by the same players ....Robbie Gray is probably the Port player who worries us more than most and I'd just like to see
Bolton identify these players more and make more of an effort to stop them. I dont want a player with L Plates like Garlett/Polson picking him up because its good for their development etc.
He needs our best lock down mid sized defender and a Plan B option if that doesnt work, same with someone like Westhoff who has been playing on a wing and floating down forward, back and being a nuisance every time we play them. We can beat Port and other teams if we plan for a win and not so much for development IMO...

I too see shortcomings in Bolton's unwillingness to 'stop' certain opposition players....
Ed C. and Kennedy the most likely but if you stop certain players having a real, ongoing influence, you can effectively stop the opposition....
Jones on Westhof?
As for ed Curnow as a forward? why?

I'm starting to think that we are trying to find roles for players we have, rather than find players for the roles we have.
That is, if Ed is no longer needed in the midfield, perhaps he's no longer needed at all. Perhaps we can find a HFF who is better than Curnow in the same position.

You nailed it...was just about to write same.......I like Ed and he is a good warrior but positions onball are tight with the impressive Setterfield, Dow and Walsh now
filling onball roles. Having to find a role for Ed isnt right and we need a specialist HFF who can help distribute the footy as well as lock it in...
I'd use SPS in that role if he could be consistent with his tackle pressure/chasing etc as he can use the footy and deliver unlike Ed..

Port looking very good against Melbourne at the MCG so far.
We’re in trouble next week if they bring this effort at their home ground and we dish up more of 1st and 4th quarter efforts.

Any CFC supporter going into a game expecting a win is setting themself up for crushing disappointment.Cheer up Prof, there's worse things going on in the world than our football teams performance. We just have to get oursleves up week in week out no matter the result. I have no doubt the players will. Look for the positives and be happy with them for now, good times will come again, nothing surer. You just have to believe in our young blokes (well most of them at least), they will improve as a unit. I can see the differences and improvements in alot of them. Eg. Fisher taking down Dusty trying the dont argue, Weiters back to his first year form, Cunners dash and run, The Colossus Cripps who is taking the competition by storm, H starting to become the player we dreamt he would be, Walshy the 18 year old kid who looks like he's played for 10 years, Paddy Dow who's put on bulk and added power to his running. When Charlie snaps out of his form slump and he, Gov and H learn to play together, mark my words we will be hard to stop. Fas, Gibbo and Cunners at their feet we have the makings of a very nice forward line. We still have Kruze, Marchy and Willo to come back in and bolster up their divisions. Just keep the faith Prof, we'll be right mate.
