Rd 4: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs. Western Bulldogs

[flyboy77]

It's a nice start in year 1 of a rebuild to have half of your backline sorted. Weitering, Plowman and Docherty, no nonsense players with skills and the first two are natural defenders, with Doc being that run and carry player. Keep them together as much as you can for the rest of the season, let the grow and good things will happen.

Hopefully Jesse Hyphen can be the 4th one in that core group of 6 too - time will tell but even pre draft many compared him to Rance.

And Byrne a 5th? Still only 21....

Indeed. he has got away with ridiculous stuff for many a year. Always the sniper too.....

Haha didn't you see him do WWFs with his cast on Sunday? Cracked a Saints player good and proper, of course nothing was said.

Agree, he is a dirty little kent IMO, no doubt but:
- The footy world in general love him;
- The AFL love him
- He has 4 premiership medals around his neck.

You know what? If Murph was a dirty little kent and he had 4 premiership medals around his neck? I would profess my undying love for him and worship the ground he walks on just like the Hawks fans do with Hodge. Thats life!

Yep! You love your own villains and hate everybody else's, that's how it works.  )

Lewis is no better ,another sniper you can throw in Gibson also .Hawks,Cats,Swans  are the chosen ones they get freekicks no team ever gets usually in front of goal and never have a holding the ball decision against them  >

For some reason they remind me of the '95 version:

Peter Dean / Michael Sexton / Andrew McKay
Plowman / Weitering / Docherty

Long way to go but they just seem similar in some way. Every other line looks laughable when held up against the '95 team at the minute.

Not to mention the last line of Rice, Silvagni, Christou.......Another couple of hard nuts with excellent foot skills would be the next step.  Not sure if it's Zach & one (or both) of the other two Irishmen, Sheehan has had a horrible injury run, I'd like to see what he can do as well.

Ciaran Bryne looks hard at it, his disposal seems okay as well. I haven't seen much of him at Northern Blues level, but he does seem willing for the contest.

Poor Adrian Whitehead, the forgotten back pocket of 1995.

[Professer E]

Whitey was a gun, gees did we miss out on a quality small mid there.  Blasted foot injuries.
