VFL 2017 Round 3: Northern Blues vs Coburg at Coburg

[Thryleon]

But Boekhorst is much quicker than Daisy and hasn't got a $350,000 contract extension hanging over his head.

Neither of these things should be reasons to play one player ahead of another IMHO.

Its all about the best person for the job irrespective of these factors.

Boekhorst is someone who I would like to see exposed to senior football again over an extended period of time, to see if his time in the game has taught him what he needs to know.

If not, we can part ways with him.


I have arrived at Daisy's best case scenario with us.  I think its best for him, that he doesn't make his trigger clause irrespective of how he plays, and that we then negotiate a contract where he is extended anyway.  It will be the only way for fans to accept Daisy.  Until that happens the pressure will continue, and i have a feeling that we have already made up our minds as to whether or not Daisy will still be at Carlton next season anyway.
