Yeah, Gussie had a lot of ability but soft tissue injuries cruelled him, Byrne is a better kick than he was.
It's odd that Irishmen who never kicked an oval ball as kids can master the art but some players who have grown up playing Aussie Rules can't, Tuohy is a beautiful kick as well.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Weitering is a must, if I never see O'Shea in a Carlton jumper again I'll be happy.
Cunningham for Mullet, Polson too at a pinch for either of Kerridge, Lamb or Garlett.
I'd drop Rowe, I think he's done. Really! I gave Rowe votes. He took a huge ego named Hogan to the cleaners, as he has every time they have played. He isn't getting a lot of ball yet, but he is doing a job really well.
I think it will be next year before he gets back to 100%, but since he has come in our defence has looked a quantum leap better. His work with Jones, and probably his mentoring, has been excellent.
I would not drop Kerridge either. he also did a job. Garlett, on the other hand, needs to show a lot more. His good is really good, but he is just not intense enough.

Pace, balance, skill and he's fearless, if he can only get fit and stay fit.
Unfortunately that seems to be a problem. I agree. He has a LOT going for him. He needs to work on his game awareness, as he can get carried away.
It is the injuries that have ruined him so far. Same for Gussy Sheehan. Both had a lot more athleticism than Zac Tuohy, it is just that Tuohy rarely gets injured. The others are basically made out of inferior materials.

Well it's not the kit, we have some of the latest gear available and are supposed to be an AFL leader in medical technology.

If it happens once it's an outlier, if it happens twice it's happenstance, for it to happen for a third time is mismanagement.
How is it possible that we get blokes back in from injury for one stinking match only for them to miss another week again?
It's crap.
