WOG = worst on ground
BTW I agree that we don't have enough southern Europeans on the list, all good Carlton sides had a few Perovic's, Jezza's, Marcou's, Bortotto's etc etc.
Even uncle Franch or Roonie Dee would be handy right now.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

You can't really pick McKay on what he's shown so far. That would be charity. I'd like SPS to be available. Lebois?
Kerridge / Thomas / White will probably play but bloody well shouldn't.
Yep agree but sadly with Kerridge until we have a better back up mid he plays. Disposal is shocking - can accumulate it but turns it over half the time and the other half just moves it onto a 50/50 contest.
Reminds me of Robbo without the madness. Tommy Bell was better cause once in a while he could impact the score board. Says a bit about our midfield to think both of those players would most likely be in our starting 18 if we still had them.

Says a bit about our midfield to think both of those players would most likely be in our starting 18 if we still had them. Yep - spot on. At least Robbo and Bell provided some physical presence that we are now so sadly lacking. We would be the least 'feared' club in the AFL and we have no one that other teams really fear either physically or from a football sense. Cripps is the closest we've got, but we are so easy to contain on the outside and with no forward structure his good work inside can be pretty easily contained.
I think the side Jeza put up is pretty close. I like what Sheehan brings, but I reckon he will need to string some more full games together after such a long lay off before he's considered. If he was fit and ready I'd have him in for sure. I think Daisy will take his spot [as much as that pains me to say, but maybe Army?].
I also reckon Kerridge will be given first crack ahead of Fisher. I've liked what he has showed but not sure he is ready just yet on a couple of cameo's, and if you play both Silvagni and Pickett you are already pretty tight on midfield rotations. SPS will need to play a few games in the NB's before he is considered - you can't drop a 1st year draftee straight in with no games under his belt.

Claiming Jesaulenko as Southern European is like claiming Tim Finn's an Australian export.

x2..No Daisy though...he will be the most expensive player the NB's have ever had kicking the dew of the grass... 
Wonder if Weitering might play forward and play a negative role on Rance?....
