Post Game Permutation: AFL Rd 12: Carlton vs Fremantle

[rocky]

Proves nothing.

I reckon i've seen Cripps do that too.

Again, people have some short memories and are letting hindsight cloud their judgement.

FWIW, Paul Bower finished 7th in the B+F in 2009.
Sure, we were a crap side......but 8th was Kade Simpson.....who actually played 2 more games than Bower.

Nope don't have a short memory. My memories of Paul Bower remain etched in my psyche. Are they memories or nightmares?
He was a dud from very early on in my mind. Pretty sure I started calling him a donkey after a season. I don't get the same vibe with Willo. In fact I just finished watching the replay and I think he played quite well in the end. Probably stuffed up twice but on a number of occasions he was super. Let's not forget he's come back from a fair amount of time off as well. I think he needs to get through this year, then a full pre-season and decide by the end of 2021 if he is Bower-esk.
