2018 Rd 2: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs Gold Coast

[flyboy77]

Thanks for making this point.  Twenty of the team that beat us yesterday are battle hardened players where we are relying on twenty to fourth gamers backed up by a bunch of retreads who were given the flick essentially.

Some of them might come good, others won't.

@LP did you watch Gowers today he was pretty ordinary and missed a couple of set shots in Levi fashion.

Yet Holman, Lyons, Witts are all retreads, so called....surely that alone destroys the argument entirely.

Bolded below - are or will be, post injury, regular 22 players.

Casboult, Levi
Jones, Liam - would get a game in most AFL teams
Phillips, Andrew
Shaw, Matt ®
Mullett, Aaron
O'Shea, Cameron
Lamb, Jed
Kerridge, Sam
Docherty, Sam
Graham, Nicholas
Plowman, Lachlan
Byrne, Ciaran
Cripps, Patrick
Lang, Darcy

Of the others, Kerridge is good enough but Bolts would prefr Dow to wander around lost out there getting 7 (bad) possessions.

Lamb, O'Shea, Mullet - can play a role well enough. Mullet was better than Murphy on the weekend.

Byrne - who knows, he always gets injured but in O'Shea we have a ready made and arguably better player.
