He may not have been judged as "poor" GTC, just others better than him atm.
Reality always wins in the end.

Goal kicking is still a worry but we should win this easily.
Murphy, Cripps, Ed, Wright, Kerridge, Kreuzer and Gibbs will be too good for anything Essendon can throw up in the middle and our back 6 is playing OK.
If Jones and Casboult can hit the scoreboard we'll win by 8 or 10 goals, but it's a big if.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Everyone forgets that Graham and boekhorst are only playing their second and third seasons of footy respectively and haven't quite worked their way up to peak condition and fitness yet.
Most senior players carry some sort of restrictions and few would be 100%.
Only a few can do it early.
Sometimes giving them a week off to refresh is all they need.

I'd have thought this applies even more so for 1st yr players. Wouldn't be surprised if any of the youngsters were managed this way (or any oldies for that matter). The Cats just "rested" hendo...

Isn't that just wishful thinking from an attention seeking Essendon supporter?
There was open training this morning; any reports?

In that case, isn't that just pessimistic thinking from an attention seeking Carlton supporter?
