IN:
C. Curnow - offers a lot more around the ground than Jones and is good for his one goal
Cripps - no brainer
OUT:
Jones - Still doesn't do enough but he does have a go. Just not good enough IMO.
Graham - I think he'll be in and out quite a bit for us. Solid footballer but no game changer. Handy depth.
We still need a lot more class on our list but it's nice to see blokes fighting for spots for a change.

I think Jones did a lot of 1% stuff today, probably didn't stick enough marks as he would like or get enough of the ball but was pretty good using his body. We won't get that from C.Curnow or Jaksch.
Overall today it was a pretty quiet day for KPFs.

1AW would be the only "out" player you could expect to come in cold after a few weeks off. He is ultra-professional on the track and will present in perfect condition for any match he plays.
I think Cripps will be in, not sure Weitering will miss, his shoulder although painful didn't look too badly displaced as he left eh field yesterday. As long as the doctors think it is strong maybe he has a week off max. Personally I wouldn't risk the kid, he can have a week or two off and still play the rest of the season. White did OK down back once Weitering left the ground.

I would be very surprised if Weitering was allowed to play.
He is 18 and has a big future. They need to look after him

Cripps for Sumner or Armfield, if Weitering misses Jamison is the logical replacement, Jaksch simply hasn't done enough to get a game from all the VFL reports I've read on here.
Nick Graham did enough to hold his spot.
Everitt will surely play after 27 touches in the VFL given that he at least kicks the odd goal and links up well, they'll probably drop White for him although if it were me I'd drop Jones, neither of them are much good so it doesn't make a lot of difference.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Agree. At this stage both he and Levi don't look like the longer term answers to me but they both should remain in the team for now. Jones may well improve as he gets more used to the demands of senior footy and Levi at least offers a good marking target which we are short of.
Reality always wins in the end.

I suspect Cripps will come in for Weitering and that will be the only change.
If Weitering stays it's likely to be Tuohy out, but I am not confident we will keep both Jones and Casboult so maybe Jones goes out if Tuohy and Weitering stay. But I liked Jones efforts off the ball, he was better than Casboult in this regard and he was a big reason smaller guys got opportunities around packs. But Casboult has him covered elsewhere around the ground.
Unfortunately for us there were a couple of weak efforts from both Casboult and Jones that would normally attract the wrath of the coach, both had opportunity to push hard back into the pack and create a ground ball for our small forwards, both failed to do it and the CheatsFC defense mopped up.
When will our forwards learn to miss marks or spoil defenders to our advantage?
Kreuzer and Phillips were both better in this regard, they took the front spot and pushed back into packs and created ground ball opportunities but too many times there was nobody to crumb.

Yep, Jones and Levi should remain as the tall forwards.
Cripps for Sumner or Graham. If Weits is to be replaced, you'd suspect White would get the gig down back and dread amongst dreads... Everitt comes in.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
