2017 Round 4 : Post Game thread - Carlton V Gold Coast

[Pratty]

G'day guys...Happy Easter!

Would have loved the win, but gee how good was it to see the young blokes yet again stand up, improve and do more during an AFL game?

How good was young Zac Fisher?

Bring in Cam Polson this week for Daisy Thomas.

I know I got shot down from all corners a couple of weeks ago when I suggested to play the kids - but look how good they've been. The selection of Tom Williamson and Zac Fisher, along with keeping guys like Harry Macreadie, Jarrod Pickett and Charlie Curnow in the AFL team, shows Bolton is thinking along the same lines. Gotta play the kids. Good to see young Curnow do better. Why would you play him in the VFL right now? Crazy! Get AFL games into him early, and others.

I cannot see why anyone would want the likes of the tried and tested, and failed, 'mature bodies' in Thomas, Kerridge, Palmer, etc to play instead of the kids if you had the choice between the two. Bolton is doing the right thing.

I'd be getting games into the likes of Cuningham, Jaksch, Gallucci and McKay soon also.
