:-*Rest Cripps, bring in Palmer. Give CC another crack at it (youth gets the benefit of the doubt!). Rest Armfield Bring in Boekhurst. (Solid in the 2s, adds outside run) Bring in Kerridge leave out White....don't need him.

Keen to play the youth as well, but I think Charlie needs to find some touch/confidence in the NB's. Bring in Harry McKay for him this week.
Armfield and White out for Palmer and Boekhorst.

Boekhorst will deliver nothing but disappointment, he's all mouth and no action at AFL level.
He'd be better off getting a job as a professional tweeter!
No heart, or at least none that shows! :o
There are tells that surround games played by blokes like Boekhorst;
- Decelerating into the contest.
- Hot potato disposal.
- That quick over the shoulder backwards glance.
- His hero is Wile E. Coyote!
- That feeling of tragedy, like the one you get when Bambi crosses the freeway!
- Casboult kicking for goal!
- Watching Boeky gives you the same feeling of a new scooter when all you wanted was a bike!
Sorry for the negativity, but I sense a waste of time and space!

Fisher, Cunningham and McKay. That's who I would be looking to bring in if any that's the future. The likes of Kerridge and Boekhorst are no better than what we have and not the future. We are already turning it over enough, and then people will be calling for them to be dropped in 2 weeks anyway.

I'd say with Cripps possibly an out, we can't afford to carry both Pickett and SPS against the CheatsFC bewcause we will be too thin on the ground for midfield rotations. So I'd be giving one of them a week off as well, and bringing in Palmer as a mature body, and Sheehan must be mighty close enough to be good to go. McKay up forward, Weitering back and Armfield, Marchbank and C.Curnow into the rotations.
If Cripps plays C.Curnow gets a holiday and no many other changes are required beyond one of either White or Armfield out for Palmer or Sheehan.
CheatsFC are going small and fast, 27°C and sunny this Sunday means good marking weather for talls!

Harry White had the same effect on some of the horses he rode hence his nick name handbrake Harry...
Fully agree with your thoughts on Boekhorst but he will get another couple of chances this year to see if he has improved but like you I doubt it...
Re: 2017 Round 3 : Pre Game Thread - Carlton vs Essendon - cookie2 - 04-04-2017
The tip is that if Cripps does not play then Palmer or Kerridge will get the gig. I have a feeling that Levi will be given another chance but Army may well be on thin ice this week and that could open up a spot for Cunningham or Boekhorst?
I just have the feeling though that we won't see too many unforced changes and that BB will throw down the gauntlet to the guys once more this week. Just a feeling, could be way off beam.

Does anyone else think to try armfield as a tagger he has strength, speed, on someone like merrett i am thinking?

Z. Merrett will certainly need some close attention, he's averaged 35 disposals alone in the first two games. Army could tag him but then what would Ed C do? Do we want to play two taggers?
