Here you go Whiley, Averaging 30 disposals at VFL level and kicking goals...but how about you tag Pendlebury.
He was disappointing though. I think he can play, so hoping for a good one.

So after six games the first player to break into double figures for goal kicking at Carlton is likely to be a midfielder.
We can't buy goals right now. If we play Casboult this week where do we play him?

to me it is players not good enough so who ever coaches us will not make slow players quicker,hold that mark when he has 2 opp.What he can change is our under10 game plan,i am glad brownie mention it in the small paper.

This is the exact point I have been making about playing good players where they are good, and not turning them in to standardized bunch of heavily coached robots!
I think part of being promoted to the Carlton 1s is that you must drop off your brain, all you have learned, your ambition, drive and motivation with your cellphone at the property steward on the way in!

In saying that, for a supposed 'hard nut', he was pretty bad.
I guess Ed Curnow was there for his line breaking skills and long kicking.

All in all Whiley is a keeper, 30+ possessions in the 2s for a couple of weeks running is as good as we have had from any newbie and equaled only by Cripps in the last couple of years.
Last year GWS vs Collingwood Whiley played the same role for GWS;
2014 R22 Collingwood 9 8 17 3 0 9 2 0 1 0 6 96 Loss
His lack of a result might be related to the blokes around him!
