Like many I saw Everitt take short steps and fail to put his body on the line on more than one occasion this evening... not only does that betray the team ethic but it can only demoralise team mates. I've said it before and I'll say it again, when the heat is on Everitt goes missing. He's a kind of luxury player, the bloke who you'd park up forward when you've got 21 other blokes who are fair dinkum.
We've now got the worst ever CFC forward line and probably the worst forward line in the AFL at present, particularly in relation to tall forwards. Personally, I'd replace Everitt up forward with White and have Byrne take White's place down back.
As unpopular as this opinion is, Meat is not a key forward.
Like I said, Casboult''s a forward/ruck, not necessarily a key forward per se. There you get the best out of him and what got the attention of other clubs last year. Work for me as the rest of our rucks, outside of Kreuzer of course, aren't real good.
I'd replace Everitt with Jaksch. Walker will come back in too. After the VFL yesterday look forward to Plowman and Sumner getting fit too, as well as Byrne coming in.
Was happy to give Everitt a go this week after a very good year last year but he's way off so far this year. let him find form in the twos. He kicked 31 goals last year so hopefully he can go back to the NBs and fins that form. Problem is, depsite Henderson's putrid form last year, Casboult and Everitt were 2nd and 3rd bananas up forward, which suited them. This year they are 1st and 2nd, which is alot more difficult for them. Casboult is at least taking marks and getting shots at goal but finding it tougher than last year. Everitt looks lost.
