Next Saturday night we play Gold Coast, fresh from their excellent win away against Freo. We, on the other hand, suffered at the hands of a red hot Sydney.
The game will be on free to air TV (Thank God!), so I will be able to see it.
I would be bringing Casey Byrne in and play Zac Tuohy more up the ground.
Our key defenders are struggling somewhat at the moment: very few possessions to Jamo, Rowe or White. Weitering again showed he is a player: he will be playing.
Everitt, Lamb and Casboult all disappointed and Walker was a late change. There may well be changes in this area.
Plowman is not ready yet, but he will get a go sooner rather than later.
Live Long and Prosper!

Jaksch for Everitt, Byrne for Phillips, Walker for Rowe

According to Baggers, Jaksch was not in overly good form in the VFL. He took a few marks, but kicked no better than Casboult. As much as Everitt disappoints with his lack of intensity, he can take a very good mark and usually kicks reasonably.
It will be interesting to see which way the selectors go.
I would NOT promote Liam Jones, even though he supposedly was quite reasonable.

Jaksch apparently very marked well but kicked badly. I'm of the belief to have a shot at goal you have to get it first hence take my chances with Jaksch and Casboult, who will take a few strong marks. Everitt can't get near it.

Tend to agree with Crash about Everitt. He is one of our few reliable goal kickers despite his shortcomings elsewhere. BB would need a lot more convincing to bring Jones back so soon to replace him IMO. In fact it will be case of who in the NBs is making a strong case for a senior game rather than who has displeased BB enough to get dropped.
There was very good effort today, what is missing is class and polish. I would think Walker will come back if fit and maybe Byrne? Not sure atm who I would leave out from today's team.
Reality always wins in the end.

Like today, dont expect to get near GC. They are now where we will be in 2-3 years. Stranger things have happened, road trip bonding, who knows. Changes are required, some of the older blokes just continue to make the same errors.

Everitt at full forward (and nowhere else) and Weitering at CHF....(if we're giving him an education let's give him a well rounded one...there's nothing to lose)

He's a defender, a bloody good one at that. Will patrol (and eventually control) our defence for the next 10 to 15 years. Leave him there, don't break him like we have done to to many others. Whats to be gained by playing him fwd? For me nothing.

What would we rather... a permanent set defender or a guy who can play both forward and back?
He may be an absolute dud as a forward....but we'll never know unless we give him an opportunity.
He may turn out to be Carlton's greatest defender.... but our current "greatest ever defender" could also go forward and kick a few goals 
It's about turning him into the "best footballer"...not the "best defender or forward".
How could it possibly be detrimental to his development as a defender to get up close and personal with some of the competitions best defenders and see how they go about their jobs.
Makes perfect sense from an education point of view..
