Any chance our tall defenders could take some intercept marks rather than trying to win the golden fist award?

We are a harsh lot!
It should be 'Charlie, you're guaranteed 6 games, so go out and give it your best shot. You won't be BOG every week but have a crack!'
Thank you Townsend. Thought the same thing.

Enter Sam Rowe standing 15m clear of anyone else and he punches down the throat of an opposition player!!

Kids were great. Can handle their mistakes. They are usually less costly than some.
Who said Daisy was OK? My god.

Someone on FB was in the rooms after the game and reckons cripps arm looks swollen and worried it broken.
He was hit hard by Martin in the last quarter and I had perfect view and lay motionless for a good 15 sec I was sure he did a serious injury but then got up and seemed to shake it off and finished on the bench.
Hopefully report is BS but wouldn't be surprised to hear he is injured. Looked in a lot of pain at the time.

Yep, that's exactly my take as well. Same goes for most of the kids - give them time. The older players are supporting cast until the talent comes on. Thomas is running his contract out before going into a coaching role somewhere. Pickett played his first game along with SPS and Macreadie - that's AFL football NOT just for Carlton.
The slack we cut Jack last year needs to apply evenly across the list.
Thought Marchbank showed plenty - made some silly errors but will be better for the run. Charlie C is learning about having a run through the middle not just up forward in year two. Weiters was wonderful given the service and pressure.

Yep
It did look like he'd hurt himself badly but a minute or two later he made a tackle that kind of eased my fears.
Still if it does turn out to be a break it's the type of commitment we've come to expect from him.
