Casboult rubbed out for a week after a VFL suspension. So that's one less decision for the selectors to make.

One thing our club needs at the moment is pure footballers. Players who can do the basics well and know the game. Lead, mark, kick, tackle and read the play are basics that we struggle with. Crocker has that.
As for his speed/endurance.....i think its deceptive. He reminds me of Dane Swan, and its not just the tatts. Its the way he moves. He looks very slow, but is moving faster than you realise.
Even IF speed and/or endurance is Crockers weak point, that is a lot easier to train up than trying to harden someone up or teach them how to kick. Being smart can compensate for being slow. Look at Diesel. Look at Whitnall. No point being quick by foot if you are slow by mind.

Players from other clubs could just about commit murder on field and get away with it, but different rules apply to Carlton. #wevebeenstiffedagain.

Enough talk, now do. Pretty simple stuff. 22 men each play 4 quarters of 100% football.

If we go into this game with the same game plan, we will get what we've been getting. But overhauling a system mid season is too big an ask. But, defense focus must be instilled... defensive systems demand accountability and a superior work ethic, from there you can build.
And if Murphy is recalled, make him earn his paycheck and put him in the midfield not a high forward - he becomes too unaccountable as a forward. Bring in a defender and get Stocker into the action - he makes things happen. Honey in also.
The TT raves on about playing blokes to their strengths, telling blokes to play to their strengths... then plays them out of position!!!! I'm talking about Stocker (there are others). Let him off the leash. We recruited Boyd to be a lockdown defender with good disposal skills... well... bring him in. Risks are needed.
Face the fact that Doc is badly out of form (sheesh, what he has had to endure... any wonder) so you do what you rave on about doing - make blokes earn their spot. Doc isn't. His fumbles are not only costly for general play, they're costly to morale and leadership. Rest him.

Can you forward that to Teague Shane?
Docherty played a couple of his best games for a while when he was moved to the wing/midfield and that role is a little more forgiving of fumbles.
My back seven would be Weitering, Jones, Saad, Newman, Williams, Plowman (if fit) and Boyd with Docherty and Stocker in the midfield.

Spot on. I make the comment about resting Doc if he is having probs effecting his game. Yes, he looked much better on a wing... I like the idea of putting him in the action in the midfield - could be just the thing for his confidence as well.
Re: Pre game profession of faith: AFL 2021 Rd 15: Carlton vs Adelaide - ElwoodBlues1 - 06-22-2021
We will end up with twenty players on the wing trying to hide and find them an easier role. Docherty needs to go back to the twos to rediscover form and confidence, his fumbling ways won't work in the middle or hiding him on a wing vs decent players.
I like Doc but he needs rebuilding in the twos...
