Fair points GTC...I think teaching is BB's forte and his lack of coaching experience is hurting us as he learns on the job...5 games for Hawthorn coaching a team that coached themselves was always going to be the doubt on BB... Great Assistant....but lacking experience as a senior coach and the club would be thinking about a different coaching structure IMO where his talents are used more during the week and his weak areas such as game day coaching/tactics/pre planning given more assistance....

Happy to give him the time to get off the L plates. Gotta get your experience somehow. Lets face, we got one with 700 games of experience, how did that turn out? All I'm saying when its time to kent up, its time to kent up. After Sat first half, its time.
PS If they dont drop a few this week, they are tanking.

We can't drop too many, Kennedy had 29 touches in the magoos but after him it was daylight.
Garlett maybe, but then you're really struggling.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Are we ruining kids in the meantime, I like Bolton but her wiz they made a great point on the Carlton show this week. They play jack in the 2s to learn to play midfield, when. He comes into the seniors he plays anywhere but!

and tell a couple of the kids "all you have to do is beat these p!$$ weak efforts and you earn yourself a spot for the rest of the year".
Surely it aint that hard.

No, but for Kerr? Yes.
We need Levi up there....he was out for what, 6 weeks?
And Harry should come in, if better. Play Charlie on the wing and in the guts - get him fully involved in a game, he has the tank!!
Our MC is half our problem imo.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

I've lost faith in Levi. Averages barely a goal a game, applies zero defensive pressure, doesn't run to the ball carrier demanding the pill. And for a bloke his size applies neglible physical presence. He's had enough chances, his one trick isn't enough.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

You're getting a bit radical now ProfE!
As much as he's been better this season, he just doesn't bring what we need 200cm players to bring, physical presence and intimidation.
Fans expect Murphy to be Hodge like, while at the same time giving some of our 200cm types like Levi and Jones a pass mark for bruise free and intimidation free football! There is a reason Kreuzer, Rowe and ACoS(When he's fit) stand out, and why in the absence of Williamson and Macreadie we look a bit soft!
But hardness can be stuff other than intimidation, it can be gut running like Murphy(Bradley being the A-Grade example), but other than Kreuzer our 200cm types don't bring that either! I'm not expecting them to be heavy weight boxers, MMA fighters or Olympic Triathletes, but they have to bring something of those characteristics if you are recruiting players like Wright, Fisher, SPS, Pickett, Le Bois, Garlett and O'Brien to play at their feet. It's Levi's absence of physicality that makes it impossible for our smalls to operate in F50, it's why I prefer Kerr long term because he is prepared to use his bulk to a team-mates advantage.
For Levi he has to physically intimidate opposition players, or he has to run the opposition ruck into the ground, the occasional mark jumping over the pack just isn't enough!
As much as fans like Jones, he's damaging our D50 because he won't mark the ball even when he's clear, our KPDs are in general gun shy to marking! Jones also not physically intimidating, but he does jump, run and chase, why not "set him free" and let him do that where it does far less harm! Not as a KPF, but as a small forward or HFF! We are chaotic going into F50 anyway, it's not like he is going to destroy our structure because as far as I can tell we have none!

Casboult had the chance to sort Ballantyne out for being in the hole (not that he leads as he should) and didn't do them job.
At least McKay runs around, he can also kick.
