R23 Hawthorn v Carlton: Pregame Chatter

[PassIt2Carrots]

Would still like to see him under another coaching regime. I think he has talent.

Now that your mate is getting a game...after game...after game....have you come to the same conclusion as everyone else? That he is not up to AFL standard?

As bad as Jones has been, i reckon he offers us more than Watson....still.

To be honest, and it might not be saying alot, I reckon Watson has played senior footy better than Jones.  He can kick to start with. Not a great sample size but Watson did pretty well against Melbourne, played well last game last year. Watson offers a little, Jones zero.

I wonder if Watto has ever tried some alternative training techniques and specialist coaching in the offseason to improve his speed and mobility. He won't become Usain Bolt but he can improve this area of his game. Maybe drop abit of weight?  Cripps did it last summer and look at the difference. Juddy has done it. I just hope the kid doesn't "die" wondering.

He can kick. That 1 fact has kept him on the list for 5 years now. When are we going to see him do anything else? He doesn't even try!

At least Jones tries. Has taken a few decent grabs. Kicking can be fixed..eventually.
Effort, cannot.

I'd be happy to see the back of both of them. But if i had to keep one, Jones would be it for now.

Why play Ellard? Give Walsh a run. JB's last game as coach, last game for us for 6 months. Last game for Carrots, Watson, Ellard maybe for Tutt, Whiley, Menzel. Good luck boys, send some of those sniping hawks to the Epworth.

Go Baggers!

Send off game? *crosses fingers*

With a contract Jones will be on the list one more year at least. Watson's out of contract I think, so he may need to get lucky if he's to get another contact.

Now i admit not seeing the game last week, but Brad Walsh been killing it in the two's and by the sounds of it, came on and had an impact. Now omitted. Why not sit him next to Sam Mitchell all day and ask him to beat him in the contest as many times as he can...

He was pretty ordinary.  No point playing him for the sake of it.

[PassIt2Carrots]

The point is getting another game into him. Ellard has been pretty ordinary for a long time and has no possibility of upside whatsoever.

9 disposals and a goal (better than 7 other players) in 1 1/2 quarters. Yep must have been terrible in a side getting beaten by 81 points.
