R20 Brisbane v Carlton - Battle for the Spoon

[PassIt2Carrots]

If we are tanking, and Watson is so hopeless, why aren't we playing him?

[Professer E]

Why no Levi?

We don't appear to have many guys left with White and Casboult listed as injured, but this is ridiculous.
As for Watson not playing, he very well may as yet: he is the emergency with height.

Honestly, looking at these teams, Brisbane should win easily. By goals! We are playing the Northern Blues boys in all but name.

[Professer E]

They are playing a lot of talks, Brisbane by 6 goals.

Guess Rowe will do a bit of ruck work with Jaksch in defence.

Such a weak midfield. Still it will be good to see a few players. Boekhorst has strung together some decent games for a first year player, and cripps gets another game under his belt.

Go blues. Pray there is no discussion of tanking, implicit or not by the club. It is a cancer in a team. They must be picking the best side to win every week, otherwise what is the point. Losing begets losing. That being said, the selection of ellard is odd. Perhaps menzal is on his way out.

[Lods]

Still wouldn't surprise me to see Cripps as a late out.
Copped a bit of a shoulder injury at the end of the Collingwood game.
Did anyone see how he went at training through the week
