I have been critical of Jamison in the recent past and I wonder if his shoulder injuries are limiting his ability to play at the top level. However, I'm not going to write him off just yet. The fact that he isn't required to plug a gaping hole in our defence may give him time to regain some form.

Plowman, Touy, Rowe, Simpson, Dougherty, Weitering, Thomas ......and Byrne ready to be reinstated. Unfortunately the name Michael Jamieson seems to be a thing of the past. Bad for Jamo who has been a loyal servant but good for us in the sense that we have a back six that will see us into the short term future. Rowe is the next one we need a succession plan for, he is 28 but has durability on his side. Rarely injured (touch wood) and hence is ok for the short term but we need a plan. At the moment though, the defence is looking good and after seeing it in action live on Sun, I liked what I saw.

Agree.
Reality always wins in the end.

I agree, but it is a massive shame. There was hardly any mention of his 150th when it was Simmos 250th (fair enough), but Jamo was a gun at his best. He was one of the best 1-2 marking key defenders in the competition for a while there. I was talking to a mate recently who asked what had happened to him because "he was a gun"...
Unfortunately with Jamo his body just doesn't seem to be able to hold up to the rigours of AFL football and now a few years have passed by and I don't see him ever being a key position player again. There may be an option for him to play as a rebounding/marking half back, but in reality with the likes of Simmo in the team we have that role also covered.
It sucks, but it will be very hard for him from here I think
Goals for 2017

Jamo has been a great servant at the club. He may not be doing much this year on field but off field I hear he is worth every penny and then some, contracted for next year.
Murphy out for three weeks - Byrne to come in.
Gorringe is doing well but Phillips is the better ruckman - prefer Kreuzer in the middle when the heat is on.

no poinr bringing Phillips straight back into the 1s - he'd beas rusty as hell
Finals, then 4 in a row!

This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Strangely enough, I think this game is more of a test than the last two weeks - this time we are expected to win, and probably by a decent margin.
It's one thing to produce when your collective backs are against the wall (don't get me wrong, that stuff is great), but it will be interesting to see how well they go when it is expected of them.
A good team in our position would win this one by 6-10 goals and not be too troubled.
