2017 Rd 2: Post Game Postulations: Carlton vs Melbourne

[sandsmere]

No!

If we want to cook somebody in our F50 then the choices are obvious. Casboult, Jaksch and Jones. We just need to accept the pain and let the kids develop, we'll stumble across the occasional line in games using any of those three but we won't win many and we won't look slick!

They have no future so we won't be damaging them in any way!

We can just tell the kids to kick it to where the forwards should be heading, and don't worry about the chook leads and rabbit runs that crew normally deliver. If I were coach I'd be telling the kids to sit the ball on the defenders head just short of Casboult, Jones or Jaksch 100 times a game! Let them turn the opposition into stepladders as often as possible mark or not mark makes no difference!

All the kids have great potential, as long as we don't deep fry them before they make the cut! In the interim we must inflict as much mental fear and damage to the opposition as possible.

Yes. Weitering back to defence.

Casboult has to ruck  so I would bring in Jones . That's how desperate we are up forward.
While Jones is not the long term answer and will most likely be gone next year, we don't have anybody else apart from him or Jaksch.
Leigh Matthews made the point that at this stage of his career Weitering should be playing in defence. I agree with him.


Jones is big and strong and does have a go.

While SPS, Pickett and Macreadie are all going well, as DP said " you are unlikely to win an AFL game if you play 3 first year players in the side together. Hard to drop one of them right now though.

Charlie back to the twos to regain some form and confidence.

Army is close to the end too.

We need to make changes this week.

Daisy's second half was good so that should save him this week.
