Round 17 Carlton vs Hawthorn Pre Game Pontifications

[ElwoodBlues1]

I suspect we're tanking; Liam Jones is back  :


Backs 43. Simon White 17. Sam Rowe 40. Michael Jamison
Half-backs 13. Chris Yarran 42. Zach Tuohy 7. Dylan Buckley
Centreline 6. Kade Simpson 3. Marc Murphy © 15. Sam Docherty
Half-forwards 2. Troy Menzel 28. Tom Bell 22. Jason Tutt
Forwards 41. Levi Casboult 23. Lachie Henderson 33. Andrejs Everitt
Followers 8. Matthew Kreuzer 9. Patrick Cripps 35. Ed Curnow
Interchange 12. Blaine Boekhorst 14. Liam Jones 20. Nick Holman
34. Brad Walsh
Emergencies 18. Kristian Jaksch 30. Blaine Johnson 24. Mark Whiley
In: Jones, Boekhorst

Out: Carrazzo (foot), Fields (omitted)

I really can't see how Jones could get a game ahead of Jaksch, but then I couldn't see why we added to him to our list either.

I would have kept Fields in the side ahead of Tutt too.  The latter is an honest trier but he really lacks awareness an dis going to brushed aside by the Hawks.

Agree....Fields would learn more playing Hawthorn than he would in half a season of VFL footy, how Jones gets a game ahead of Jaksch is absurd...so much for form in the NB's
being the criteria for selection.....Boekhorst didnt do enough either to get a game although I dont mind seeing him get another chance to show something vs a team that are going to be physical which will be a test for him. Good to see Walsh retained and hope he gets a good lack at Sam Mitchell close up to see how its done...
