Agreed, Tutt is that guy who is going to kill momentum and team-spirit. He wants to play AFL, but as soon as he gets the pill he offloads it like it's a red hot rock, usually selling a team-mate into trouble before complaining that they didn't give him the pill back. I'd be giving him the pill back quickly and frequently so that he either learns the error of his ways or retires early!
Assuming Byrne and Sheahan can get fit which allows some on-field reshuffling Tutt has no future at Carlton. Further to play Tutt means Murphy has to be in the guts on the inside and I know which player I'd rather have running hard outside and finishing, it ain't Tutt!
Armfield, Graham and others are a mile ahead of Tutt as an option.

If this game was "The Battle for the Rising Star" you'd be embarrased to give it to Hogan

Well we already have him for another two anyway!
FWIW you can't fault his effort, just not good enough.
Ignorance is bliss.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Not quite 2 years PITC, we signed him on a 2 year deal so he has a year left in 2016. The one we have locked away long term is Jones on a 4 year deal...heaven help us!!

He obviously has some footy smarts, he knows the positions to get too, his execution and thought processes once he is near the ball is shocking.
He did play OK yesterday, but that's about his level of opposition i think as he is quite a good VFL player.
@PI2C Not sure what you didnt like about Whiley, was in an around the contest all day and made really smart decisions (kick to space and let Walker run onto it). He reminds me a little of Priddis (not jsut the hair) and needs time to play these last two games (not as sub!). I'm backing him in, i think he'll be a good player.

With Whiley, compare his play in the magoos to his first team efforts and the difference seems to be confidence.
In the magoos he's aggressive and takes more responsibility, in the ones he's just second guessing himself ATM. Not really attacking the football. But he's improving quickly.
My fave from yesterday was Boek. He'll never be a collision football mega star, but he does some things you can't teach or defend.
If the cap goes to 80 rotations next year and he gets a bigger tank, look the screw out!!

Hmm i haven't committed either way with BB apart from thinking we probably could have nabbed him a bit later than pick 21, but he certainly has some tricks and twice he competed 1 on 1 Against Mcdonald when for some reason we kicked to him one out in the goal square and broke even. Allowed Cripps to Goal from the resulting stoppage.
The 80m run hopefully showed him, when he is tired he just has to keep going, and he backed himself and even took a bounce before a very sensible kick even though his legs were screaming. Little things like that can help a player grow.
