Lang isn't fit enough based on what I saw last week.

Yep a puzzling selection - didn't do much in the NBs game from what I saw on TV.

Agree CJ..his disposal by foot has been woeful over 15m.....he must be getting the defending part of his game right and keeping his man quiet perhaps?

I can understand why Lamb got the nod: he was the emergency last week. I am not sure he is the man for the game.

Re: 2018 Rd 8: Pre Game Passion: Carlton vs Essendon - Jack Burton - 05-10-2018
Shocked at Lang's selection. Looked very underdone at VFL level last week. Tough ask for the kid. Lamb I'm not surprised, we need some mongrel and he has performed well on Goddard before, horses for courses. Charlie Curnow for Casboult is a no-brainer. Not surprised Phillips got dropped, we just can't play two dinosaur ruckmen in the current game. Kennedy is the worry for me. If he was out injured I would understand, I don't reckon his ankle is right. But omitted suggests not doing what the coaches want well enough to hold his spot (and replaced by either Lang or Lamb), that is an issue

Yep, totally agree... :Lang was good early but did tire. Considering the forecast, glad the club resisted bringing Weitering in. None of the 3 inclusions are slow. Serious question marks over Kennedy... another GWS dud for us, SOS? Please, no.

Mullett, O'Shea, Lamb, Graham and Pickett would not get close to a game in any other AFL team in the comp IMO. Probably throw Kerridge into that group as well. They are not even the present, forget the future. Plus add to that Lang is seriously undone.
That's basically one third of the team right there. I just can't see how we are going to win games with this sort of selection strategy. I know the cupboard is pretty bare, but if that side doesn't set alarm bells ringing in the list management department then god help us all.
I pray I'm wrong [and I often am], and they have down on form, but I don't see enough ability in that team to compete against an AFL team and kick anything like a winning score.
