2017 Rd 2: Post Game Postulations: Carlton vs Melbourne

[Gointocarlton]

Two options if we're going to send Weitering back.

1) Marchbank forward for a game or two to see how he goes.

2) Rowe goes forward permanently and let the combination of Weitering, Marchbank and Plowman settle. If this rebuild is to take as long as anticipated Rowe is probably not going to be a piece of the final puzzle. If we go this route I'd also send White forward as another mature body.

Youngsters back...old guys forward...and rotate the young forwards through there with a bit of support.

Weiters back, Harry in and forward. The back line will be mint, the fwd line cannot be any worse than it is now even with Harry wearing trainer wheels. White is a liability down back and must go. I've said it a number of time, he tries hard but makes too many dumb mistakes at crucial parts of the game and in the worst possible position on the ground to make them. Army also needs a spell, he looked completely out of sorts, looked slow. Seems to have lost that zip and those sure hands, I think I mentioned it during the game, he looked like one of those blokes who is gifted a farewell game having overstayed his welcome. Army has been a terrific servant but it appears father time may have caught up to him.
It breaks my heart to say this but Simmo may be coming to the same cross road, happy to give him the benefit of the doubt though for now, he has started slow in the past and then got going to be among our best week in week out.
