Rd 4: Pre Game Pressure: Carlton vs. Western Bulldogs

[Professer E]

Lot of hard runners and dangerous midgets in that doggies side... I hope we're all fit and prepared to run,  and our small defenders are switched on.

It sends the right message that senior selection cannot be taken for granted. As he continues with his assessments, It looks like BB will be trying to move forward with the younger players he sees as the future and keeping the older and fading players as the backups. That's fine by me!

Gibbs next...unless he extracts numerous digits.

Yep. Pretty sure BB said:
form will drive selection
all have clean slate
nobody is entitled
there is no ceiling (to this effect anyway)

To date, I'm impressed with his integrity and ability to hold onto the rudder (even though we're headed for the rapids).

He'll turn the ship in time....

yes. this is a major step forward- i know when our club is truly accountable when any one of gibbs murphy and kruezer get dropped

I cant recall not 1 occasion that any one of these number 1's have ever been dropped to the ressies...

It sends the message that the same old same old that hasnt worked for years, still doesnt work no matter who coaches them.  The team needs to be turned over something ferocious in order to find out what does work. End of story and about feckin time. I hope that there as as many changes to senior players next week as well. I would rather test and learn the game plan in real time with players who are the future irrespective of how young they may be.
Go Blues

Why can't we swap Phillips for Jaksch? Kreuzer would play better, the forward line would have 2 legitimate talls... wtf

Going by the NB write ups Jaksch hasn't been impressing.  They were more like to give Jones a game.
