2017 Round 3 : Pre Game Thread - Carlton vs Essendon

[ElwoodBlues1]

But where will we get them from Cookie? 

Other clubs, we cant seem to draft or breed many of them and the ones we do ie Robbo...we give them away...
Casboult disappointed me vs the Tigers...built like Tarzan but acted like Jane when confronted with Martin....

Actually, I think that most of our new blokes enjoy "flying the flag".  They just need some big, mature bodies in there with them.

I'd rest Cripps and Rowe....no need to risk either in a rebuild year, gives some opportunities to other players
and we always have the excuse we were missing two of our key players, so we can downplay an EFC victory if they win...

Agree EB. I said the exact thing to my daughter!!!

We need a comeback line.  Geez I hate this mob.

Would love to watch Goddard sooking it up walking off the ground after a loss.

It was Weitering and Matt Wright who went into deal with Lewis.....pleasing to see the former flying the flag...Charlie Curnow also has a bit of agro about him...
I'll be interested to see if Essendon pick Heath Hocking, if they do I know what sort of game its going to be....

Couldn't agree more GIC. An athlete and nothing else. He is a depth player at best and we should be playing the kids who can hit targets as they are the future.

Agree 100% gents. What a great test for our young group!

We can call it Gallipoli or Verdun, a great test for young men! :o

It's completely naive to think CheatsFC won't take every opportunity to beat up on the list full of young players! CheatsFC are the old roosters fully intending to regain their hutch after having been locked in exile while the blood lines were purified! It'll be a Cock fight, except one team will be a Bantam!

Drop Crippa and Rowe and then play man on man all day ala Wayne Brittain style  >
Gee that was a great game to watch, way back when!

Oh yeah, hard to imagine why we knifed a bloke with so much footy smarts!

Never said they may not try to be physical. This is AFL. This happens every week. Naive to think it has, and will only, be this week against the Dons. I'll back our younger core group in.

Mitch Brown has already ruined one of Weiterings shoulders.  We dont need a repeat performance for the sake of educating and breaking our youngsters to play in fear for the rest of their careers.
