R23 Hawthorn v Carlton: Pregame Chatter

[PassIt2Carrots]

I can honestly say that having watched the game, he looked out of his depth and we played against a team that was no where near as good as Hawthorn.

Remember all the crap Malthouse copped for parking Whiley on Pendlebury (rightly or wrongly)?

Now we want to repeat that effort with Walsh, but its all of a sudden a good education....

There you go again Thry. Let it go mate.

lol at let it go. You've been sooking about Ratten for 3 years.

lol at let it go. You've been sooking about Ratten for 3 years.

And you've been sooking about Ratten for 5 years lol.

Remind me who started the Sack Ratten thread again?

Still, five is greater than three. LOL.

I literally want to find out whether or not people think its the right or wrong thing to do.

Again, I am only interested in the betterment of our footy club.

If Walsh will benefit immensely by being smashed by Hawthorn this weekend, then Im all for it.
If his confidence will be shot, and the rest of the arguments trotted out against Whiley are repeated, then I am completely against it.


Based on last weekend (which I saw) and of Walsh's current AFL level performances, of my two outcomes, the latter looks more likely (to me) and that has more to do with the way Hawthorn are performing and the way we are competing that is making that decision for me.

We are not likely to win.
We are likely to lose, and we are likely to lose heavily.  Will Walsh benefit??

Bit different...Mick was coaching for wins and greater glory..mainly his own...
JB is coaching for development.....if Walsh follows a gun like Mitchell around all day he will learn more than playing on some
kid from the burbs in the Nb's

Waston's first two games were against a prime Travis Cloke and he never recovered.

[ItsOurTime]

Whiley should have been getting games, no problem from me there. 10 games will have gone to Ellard this year, 8 of which we lost and his impact minimal in all of them.

10 games into a kid is 20% of their initial development.

Depends on the players mental abilities to want to be an AFL footballer.....Walsh wants it more than Watto IMO....reckon he can handle it.
SOS had ten kicked on him by Plugger.....probably learned plenty that day....
