Rd 6: Pre Game Palaver: Carlton vs. Essendon

[Thryleon]

Charlie Curnow out with 'illness' 3 days before the game.......that doesn't sound good.

It might be code for celebration of a win interstate.

Personally I'm glad this mob like to go after our young players and it's time we repaid the favour by ensuring parish and Francis have a navy blue headache each time they play us

Byrne Cripps Docherty I like the centreline a lot.

Probably caught Murphy's lurgy!

Is there something in the contract with our Irish players that they can only ever be tried at half back?

Touhy seems a natural wingman but I can't recall ever seeing him play anywhere other than back flank / pocket.

Congratulations Matthew Wright - 100 games.

I hope he kicks a couple and gets BOG

For mine, this one will be won or lost in the coaches box. Cagey shifty old fox Woosha vs Young driven like no other Bolts.

Not sure Woosh is all that clever GTC. He's more Malthouse than you might think.

Bolts is cutting edge .

I hope that's what it is. Didn't deserve to be dropped, that's for sure.

If this was the case I would be rapt however on the provisos that the kid has earned a spot and is ready. I am confident the coaches will make the right decision, the days of our club playing guys for marketing purposes (to the detriment of the players development and long term future) are over I reckon.

hmm don't think so. I got a call from SOSOS the day after he was drafted to sign up as a member  :o
