2017 Rnd 1: Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game
(03-22-2017, 05:50 AM)flyboy77 link Wrote:That said, our mids need to be more defensively minded too.

How often does the ball head toward our opponent's goals like a freight train with little or no pressure?

I think that's where the aggressive ball movement can be damaging ... to us.  I have seen more than a few chains of possessions broken by a kick or handpass that wasn't executed well enough and the rebound catches us with our pants down.  Those turnovers are particularly costly as we look like scoring only to lose the opportunity and be scored against.

It will be interesting to see whether that has been addressed on Thursday.

If we are to debut or play 5 or 6 of the 20 and under group, I think these are the most likely;

Jacob Weitering
Charlie Curnow
Jack Silvagni
David Cuningham
Caleb Marchbank
Jarrod Pickett

Keep in mind Bolton said play, not debut.

Hard to see SPS getting in ahead of those with only one internal practice match under his belt. If I had to pick a next in line I suspect one of the two smalls might be a chance, Fisher or Polson.

But there are rumors SPS has some family visiting.

I think you should be leaving rumours alone LP.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

Are you from WA Sandsmere?

I think it's unlikely, but when a couple are from a small town like Halls Creek word gets around. They could just as easily be heading into Darwin, Broome or to Melbourne to see the F1 with their son on the last long weekend he gets until mid-season.

It's only a small town Halls Creek, when someone leaves everyone notices the lights change brightness! ;D

Daisy?

I thought Bolton said as much this morning, "more goals from the midfield - murph, Cripps, Gibbs, daisy"
