The upside is a solid draft pick and a bit of experience for the youngsters.
The downside is a rather dismal end to the season for supporters, apart from minor glimpses of 'green shoots.'
Hopefully they get it right.
It's high risk stuff with a number of variables and no guarantees.
That's true, but I don't think we weren't worrying about the result. However, winning the game may not have been the ultimate prize if it meant playing Harry for another quarter or playing some of our ageing, struggling blokes at the expense of our young blokes.
It is a high risk approach but, if it comes off, it will have high rewards.

In 2014 when the knives started to come out for Mick in his second year we had 7 1/2 wins and 5 losses under 2 goals. This year is looking very similar to that and we're starting to see a drop off in form of the senior players who might be starting to lose faith in the game plan which is pretty much identical to the one we played back then.

Not sure Murph or Krooz looked like that, Gibbs was tagged out of it and Simmo had a shocker....and we played a s&$tload of kids.

The Captain had 17 odd kicks, I reckon the longest went 19m.

Agree. Stats can be misleading. Murphy just cant impact the contest like he used to.
When the game was slipping away from mid first quarter and thru to half time Murphy gave nothing. Gibbs, Simmo and Thomas were even worse during the same period. And that was the game right there.
Our leaders except Kruezer were woeful yesterday.

What's going on with Murphy? He's had a month of stink...
Re: Rd 18: Post Game Pandemonium: Carlton vs Brisbane - madbluboy - 07-23-2017
Murphy is only going to get worse with the sleepless nights in the next couple of years. Trade him and Gibbs now and get something for them.

Hasn't been the same since that infamous Saints game..... now he's having baby, focus elsewhere?
Looking at Daisy, I'd prefer to chop him. Could an established mid/HFF in a State League offer any less?
Simmo too, on yesterday's effort must be questionable (given Willo, Macreadie, Byrne etc etc) - some really bad disposal, but not alone there....one pass Jed Lamb attempted was sub u/9 standard (as it failed).

Not even remotely.similar. We were playing.a team of mid 20 plus year olds and 'headed for a flag". This team is building bottom up.
