2018 Rd 8: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs Essendon

[Lods]

Yep, definitely not something someone makes up!

Let's be clear

Did Baguley say something about Lamb's father and the nature of his death or was he just doing a general family sledge?

What I get is that Lamb told Baguley his father had died and to lay off.
Was there anything more.
Was there a direct reference to the way his father had died... if so it was a low blow.

Baguley is understood to have made multiple inappropriate references to Lamb's family but in a manner that would suggest the Essendon defender was ignorant of the fact Lamb's father had been murdered. Lamb's father was killed in an axe attack by a family friend when the player was only six years old.

Baguley was accused of making crude and inappropriate comments about Lamb's family, but it's understood the comments indicated he had no idea Lamb's father had died.

Lamb immediately told Baguley his father had died when he was young and told Baguley to stop or there would be ramifications.

I expect him to get games this year....and for that to continue in the following years. I have no issue with that.

Jones and Rowe, will not be able to play up to the high standard they are setting now forever. Sooner or later they will start to falter. Be that age, injury or simply confidence.

All i ask is that we pick a side that gives us the best chance of winning, or perhaps better stated alternatively as, a side that doesn't guarantee we will lose.
I'm open to perhaps not picking the BEST side if it means some kids get some games, but not at the expense of wins. Wins = confidence, and we need that more than simply games into kids.

Its not a difficult concept to comprehend, yet i'm gobsmacked at how many are struggling with it.

Rowe (when injured with his knee) was obviously not going to be played ahead of Weitering. - You pick Weitering
Weitering (when completed devoid of all confidence) was not going to outperform Rowe when fit. - You pick Rowe
Rowe (when down on confidence) vs Weitering (with confidence) is where things start to get difficult. - ? ? ?

Yep fair is fair.

Where things start to get difficult you look at a few factors.  How everyone's travelling in other key roles (no Casboult or McKay as an example gives Rowe a leg up as a back-up ruckman)  and what match ups are palatable.

We might run into a side which actually asks us to play taller.

Why would Lamb make that up and report it to club officials? Baguley is lying

Agree 100%

And out of the family members to sledge, it seems a little coincidental that Baguley selected his dad. From my knowledge of this sort of nonsense, they usually target female members.

Agreed, Baguley knew exactly what happened to his father.

Agreed, Baguley knew exactly what happened to his father.

Baguley has changed his excuse two or three times already, he's a bullshit artist!
