2018 Rd 1 Post Game Party: Carlton vs Richmond

[mateinone]

This has been a concern of mine for a while. SOS is IMO, the most powerful man at the club, with connections to the board, Pres, playing group etc. He's got stooges all over the joint. You need to have amazing moral fibre and top shelf ethics to put the club first, and not just treat it as your personal fiefdom.

And for all those that bag sos, would they like to name players 19 or younger that scored more goals than him last season?
And he was doing it in the worst scoring team in the comp.

He had a MARE of a game yesterday, against Hawthorn he had an average stage, but still snagged a couple and set up another with a beautiful 60m running barrel.

Jack was probably only saved from being WOG yesterday by Weitering's awful effort, but that happens. I agree we had a chance to try him in the middle, but we didn't and now we have to wait and see if he can do that role.

I think Jack will be an okay footballer and I think he cops a lot of heat for a kid who turned 20 in December.
The Tigers have a good defense and we still have limited number of inside 50s despite posting good scores the last 2 games.

As our forward 50 entries increase and (most importantly) our entries inside 50 are more targeted to the leading players, I think Jack will head towards 40 goals a year.
In saying that, he had a mare last night and would be considered to be dropped.

Big SOS was dropped for a Grand Final on Serge's advice (Serge I believe was on the match committee), so I don't think he would interfere in any decision to drop his kids and I don't think Bolton would be influence in any way either.
