Yes think the same , on KJ , thought he would have got 2 weeks at least, so might be the end of the road for him. Happy with the other change .

Yep. Disappointing.
No matter what your thoughts on him are, you reckon he should at least be given some time to find his feet.
If we just wanted someone to keep the seat warm until Casboult came back, we should've let Everitt keep his spot for an extra week.

Remarkably little chatter on this thread this week. Is that a commentary about how people think we will fare? I have no idea. But other weeks and other opponents have sparked considerably more traffic.
Carlton
B: Zach Tuohy, Sam Rowe, Kade Simpson.
HB: Dylan Buckley, Lachie Plowman, Sam Docherty.
C: Dennis Armfield, Patrick Cripps, Ed Curnow.
HF: Sam Kerridge, Simon White, Jack Silvagni.
F: Matthew Wright, Levi Casboult, Charlie Curnow.
Foll: Matthew Kreuzer, Bryce Gibbs, Nick Graham.
Int: Andrew Phillips, Jacob Weitering, Liam Sumner, Blaine Boekhorst.
Emg: Jed Lamb, Mark Whiley, Kristian Jaksch.
In: Levi Casboult, Blaine Boekhorst.
Out: Kristian Jaksch (Omitted), Jed Lamb (Omitted)
I am a bit surprised that Jaksch got the flick after a single game, even though he was very quiet last week. I thought he would be persevered with for another game or 2. Things are not looking up for him. Is it the kick in the backside he needs? Next few weeks will be interesting for Kristian Jaksch.
Lamb being dropped is not surprise: his form has been ordinary in the last few weeks. He has done enough to be reasonably sure of his place for 2017.
I am a little surprised that Sumner didn't join him in the VFL: he may be working hard, but he hasn't got much ball either. Getting a few kicks and a few goals would be good for him.
I am mildly surprised that Charlie Curnow retained his spot, but I guess the idea is to get games into him. Fair enough.
I don't like White at CHF, but who knows what role he will actually play this week?
I am also mildly surprised that Weitering came up. If he was going to get 'rested', then this week would have been a good one.
Sydney Swans
B: Dane Rampe, Aliir Aliir, Nick Smith.
HB: Jake Lloyd, Heath Grundy, Callum Mills.
C: Dan Hannebery, Josh P. Kennedy, Kieren Jack.
HF: Dean Towers, Lance Franklin, George Hewett.
F: Isaac Heeney, Gary Rohan, Tom Papley.
Foll: Sam Naismith, Luke Parker, Tom Mitchell.
Int: Harry Cunningham, Jordan Foote, Xavier Richards, Callum Sinclair.
Emg: Brandon Jack, Tyrone Leonardis, Toby Nankervis
Sydney's ruck division looks to be something we can work on. Naismith is young and inexperienced. Sinclair hasn't been in tremendous form. However, our rucks have not yet been a dominant force.
Their midfield looks to be where they would be expected to win, even though McVeigh isn't there to get 40+ possessions for a change. Hannebery has got large numbers against us recently.
Everybody and their animal will be putting their money on Sydney this week. I can understand that, but I don't have to like it.

@crash
If one C Judd was still running around for us, i'd give us a sneaky chance. He used to love playing the Swans and would light it up more often than not. I think we will get a proper rogering as I reckon them and the Hawks are the best teams in the comp by a very long way. They will play in the GF.

Doubt he's going anywhere given he's contracted for next year plus we used pick 7 to get him. He's does have issues with his attitude off field, keen on a drink, not as keen on training, from what i hear, so that's one aspect he'd want to pick up. He played good footy in the VFL so we know he can play. If all of the above is right then he can be good if he applies himself. Up to him.
I would've put him in defence and let Weitering play forward with Levi.

Beginning to look that way. He had to make a real impact last week but unfortunately he didn't.
Re: Rd 18: Pre Game Polite Discourse: Carlton vs Sydney - Baggers - 07-21-2016
Good changes, obvious changes. Really don't get the love here for KJ, just not up to it.
Graham and Sumner would want to have a good game... if Cuningham comes along well he'd be a monty to replace one of those two.
Love to sea Weits play the whole game forward.

I can't remember Kreuzer playing a good game against Sydney as yet. Tippett and Sinclair hurt us last time.
I think Sydney are looking pretty good. I was hoping they would beat Hawthorn last week, but the Hawks still appear to have that slight edge against them mentally. Hawthorn are the ones who need a serious rogering. Alas, we are more likely to get it.

If that is truely the case, then i expect him to be delisted at the end of the year.
If we keep him on the list, then we have done him a diservice by dropping him after 1 game.
I don't care if he is your favourite player, or least favourite. Expecting him, or anyone, to pick up the pace of an AFL game after not having played at this level for 12 months is harsh.
He is still only 21.
