Rd 23: Pre Game Investigations: Carlton vs Essendon - crashlander - 08-21-2016
Our last game for the year against the Drug Cheats early on Sunday. Interesting to see if we can repeat the effort we put in today. I didn't think we could pull today off, as we are terrible at milestone games now. However, I hope we can give the Drug Cheats exactly what they deserve.
I expect to be there for a change.
That will probably hurt us more than help us, but I'm not going to miss this one!

Hopefully we get a glimpse of McKay next week at senior level.
SOS for Everitt next week (there was a stage in the game where we saw the timidness of Everitt on show when he was making a feeble attempt to tackle and Tuohy arrived to show him how it was done...)
But if McKay did make an appearance next week who would you drop? Can't drop Jones on today's form. Likewise Kerridge, who goes out for Kerridge if he's over his illness and ready to return (Graham earned a game next week)?
Maybe the best thing is just the one change (SOS for Everitt) and get another game into McKay in the magoos?

For mine, Daisy should be dropped based on form but I doubt they will as its his 200th next week. Did he have a specific role today? Watching on TV, he was largely unsighted and appeared to struggle when he was in picture.

SOS will come in for someone. Like to see McKay in but there's no-where to put him. Levi was great last week and Jones has had two good weeks. Seem to go well together.

When Daisy runs at full pace he resembles a man running in wet cement.
Tries his guts out but his body has given out on him, we can't carry a running player who can't cover ground and he is an average kick at best these days.

Agree, professor. I have wanted Daisy to work out, but it seems to be his mind is willing only. Doesn't seem to have any impact at all.
Re: Rd 23: Pre Game Investigations: Carlton vs Essendon - LoveNavy - 08-21-2016
Does he still have 2 yrs left with trigger for 3?
Gee if his form this year is anything to go on, surely he'll struggle.
I hear he's a great mentor and off-field contributor, but is he up to the rigors of the game for that period?
I hope he shows us he is, but it does look like his body's failing him sadly.
Re: Rd 23: Pre Game Investigations: Carlton vs Essendon - townsendcalling - 08-21-2016
I understand that there is a clause in his contact that says that he has to play a minimum number of games in his 4th year to guarantee a 5th year. That could be his problem.
Re: Rd 23: Pre Game Investigations: Carlton vs Essendon - DJC - 08-22-2016
I thought Daisy was OK yesterday. He linked up well and provided a cool head when required.
His body isn't capable of the gut running and explosive speed that marked his best years and I suspect that he is learning to play within his limitations.
Daisy is still in our best 22 but I suspect that will change next season.
