Rd 10: Pre Game Premonitions: Carlton vs Geelong

[Professer E]

See your point EB but none of Hawkins, Kersten or Motlop run both ways.  Their midfield is very good but shallow as well.  I can't see us winning as we won't kick enough goals but if we had a decent ruck to give us first use we could give them a scare.

Selection was total crap last week. Sorry to Bolton, etc. but he's not a sacred cow and that was a disaster.

Will Gorringe get a game this weekend after 7 hitouts last week?

White was hopeless.

Rowe to forward did not work at all and weakened our defense.

Weitering was well off his best but was still ok. Did he need a game in the 2s?

Wood to play ruck, Jaksch to play key forward, Rowe back and anyone you want to replace White - Graham, Tutt.... what about SOSOS?

If Jaksch is left out again I will definitely spew up. Such an important player - to not even give him a crack in 9 rounds is - again - another real black mark on Bolton in my view. Happy to rush in Everitt and leave him in despite a series of pathetic / non-team oriented incidents yet giving Jaksh a crack is somehow unreasonable. Give me a spell.

If SOSOS gets a game I'll eat my jocks.

A lot of commentators had White in their best players for the shut down job he did on Petrie  ???

Jaksch hasn't played because he hasn't shown enough in the NBs, although his form in their last game was pretty good.  Whether it's at the level the Match Committee is looking for will determine whether he is in the frame for a spot in the 22 but Fraser's assessment is pretty positive.

“I thought he was terrific, he’s been fairly consistent with us but we’re trying to get his game to the next level,” Fraser said on Jaksch.

“He played a role for us up forward today and went back and supported in defence at times - he keeps growing, he’s started to assume a leadership role with these younger players which is pleasing.”

Interesting inclusions: Jaksch, Casboult and Kreuzer  :o

[Robblues]

Very interesting? Someone  give them the magic pill?

What!!!! Meat and Tractor named!!!

[kruddler]

Both named on the bench, so both highly unlikely to play.

Sunday game, so can change the emergencies before then without much of an issue.

Is the club just trying to get people interested in the match in the hope more turnup??

[pinot]

No idea whther they trained or match committee decided based on their age 70-80% fit will be good enough to take the risk we will find out tomorrow whether they are included.
