Rd 17: Post Game Disinterested Dissections: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[deags]

I reckon Graham has shown enough that he is just not good enough. If it were up to me, he wouldnt be getting another senior game.

Boekhurst was better on Sunday than I have ever seen him, but I don't think he has it in him. I would continue playing him this season to see whether the game on the weekend was an aberration, or if he might have learned something in the 2s that could see him as an adequate backup for another season.

I think Lamb can make it. He puts himself in good positions and uses the ball reasonably well. He is no elite player, but for where we are he makes an adequate back up player.

Similar with Sumner, I'd persevere a bit longer. We don't have a lot of depth and he can come in and fill a position adequately.

I am not a good enough judge for Byrne... He does seem to have something about him, but my 2 reservations would be
1. Is his body up to it, when is bad luck bad protoplasm as we say in the medical trade.
2. I think some of the Irish (and other international players) struggle with not having grown up with the game, in terms of reading the play.
