And if DVR is struggling, how is Jaksch going? Crikey.
If I had to nominate one main concern about our list atm Jaksch would be it. OK he's had his setbacks due to injury sure, but he has shown virtually nothing so far and he (together with Whiley) cost us. Not the end of the world yet BUT it is a concern, at least for me.
Reality always wins in the end.

He's pronounced the name of jockey Dom Torneur (pronounced Torner) as Dom Torney-Air for years. Maybe ignorant is a better description?
Ignorance is bliss.

I think the fact that we recruited two young ruckmen indicates that the club is well aware of Wood's strengths and weaknesses.
He'd struggle for a game anywhere but Carlton, or Essendon this season.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Bolton simply said that Jaksch had to play well to earn a spot. He also said that Jaksch was able to play forward and back and that's got to be a positive.
Robbo on SEN tried to grill SOS about whether Jaksch had the right attitude to play AFL. SOS played a straight bat, as you'd expect. However, it wouldn't surprise me if there's something amiss, particularly if Jones can get a couple of games.

The Whiley + Jaksch + Boekhorst for pick (?) 7 deal is starting to look like it is covered in balls. Chuck in DVR showing 9/10ths of bugger all and it is starting to look like another stinker of a draft for us.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Jaksch has to play ahead of Jones.....ok the former might not be going at his hardest and Jones might be training the house down but at the end of the day one can play football and the other doesnt have a clue and it will be the team and supporters who suffer...
Bolton should be playing Jaksch this week if he isnt injured IMO and getting him fired up for Rnd1 ..Jones had one possie last game didnt he?....cant justify playing that banana this week IMO...
How is Jones earning his spot?
