If so maybe it was a case of him getting to grips with a different role. He was pretty bad though. I don't think he was a bad as people make out, they are influenced by the commentary during the game and come to permanent conclusions. Other than a couple of obvious mistakes he played a pretty good game, far better than O'Shea who also sold several team-mates into trouble, yet O'Shea gets praised by some!

I think that blind handball straight to a Swans player was in response to a call, but pretty bad for a player of his experience to get sucked in like that.
He'll be keen to butter up in his next game that's for sure.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

I thought Daisy was pretty good, apart from his error-ridden third quarter. O’Shea was no worse the Simpson, Jones and others in turning the ball over and giving teammates no chance of equalising contests. I’m sure that Daisy will be determined to make up for that quarter.

Well I'd certainly like to see Daisy get fully back to his previously good form and perform well in his defensive role (or whatever role he gets for that matter). He is a terrier so I think he will and he's important for us this year.
Reality always wins in the end.

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

In an area where we struggle there are a number of players we could move into the forward line. Although he's struggled there before I'd like to see Jones play a couple of games forward in a 'chaos' role. Thomas and Simpson are both getting plenty of the ball. Play them at half forward for a bit. No, they're not the future...but they are the present...and it would help our young forwards to have a few other 'distractions' for other sides to worry about. When Marchbank comes back I'd also like to see him getting a run as a forward. Yep, we have some good young prospects in Kerr and McKay...but Marchbank has a couple of years in maturity and I'd like to see what he's capable of as a forward ...now!

To digress a tad, walked into a cafe in inner Melbourne early this morning with my 5 yo lad who was staunchly carrying his recently acquired 2018 AFL footy cards album....
The barrista, a nice young guy, asked the kid which team he followed. Not realising how shy my kid is (who had not answered due to shyness and turned away), the bloke said oh no, it's not that bad is it? Then as he finished making the coffee seconds later, followed up with "it's Carlton". Not even a question, but a statement of fact. I'm getting really sick of that. And I have started to question Bolton quite frankly, not the process - the journey - or even Bolton's ability or willingness to "educate", Granted injuries don't help, but some selections and match days moves (or lack of) this season don't sit well with me. In my eyes, he has till this stage next season to be fully judged. Ex teacher? So f',n what really, can he Coach?! The jury is very much out on that score....
Finals, then 4 in a row!
