VFL Round #14: Northern Blues vs. Casey Scorpions

[Vivian]

Yep and pretty sure you've been going on about commitment and culture for quite some time but I guess Everitt gets a pass?

I would suggest we play him forward, not in the ruck.

Has shown he can play. Will more than likely get another shot.

You've had plenty of pie on face lately surely that has made up for it?

It looks like commitment with everitt, but he also has a laconic style. Some of it also may be due to the poor structure of our play. We drift about alot, and with henderson going back for a bit last week, a roaming half forward winger type can get lost. But he is often good for a goal or two a game and needs a match up, so he stays.

Agree that Jones is a forward, not a ruck. He is still young, and while i think he is unlikely to become a regular senior player, he is worth developing. Good coaching too may help in improving his running patterns and body work so he can find better position.

And to poor old matty watson. If we are playing to win, then no way. If we are trying to see where players are at then surely we know what we need to know about watson. He has been on our list for almost 5 seasons now. If we have not worked out that he is slow, lacks mobility, can only play deep forward and is poor below his knees then things are really crook at Carlton. If his flukey effort in the last round last year is the evidence he can play that you claim, then why is he still only scratching a goal or two in the seconds?

He will get a game if were are bereft of any other options to get 22 on the park.
