2017 Rd 2 Pre Game Panic Carlton vs Melbourne

[LP]

Though there is in side, and m,e in team  ;D

Where does team start and end, at me! :

Scanning through the stats, I noticed Charlie Curnow is now listed as 194cm.  Wasn't he 191cm last year?

Yes Mav, he's shot up over the last 12 months and, with a little more muscle, could be a genuine key forward.  He spent quite bit of time at full forward against the Tigers but didn't do a great deal.

The fact he was still growing last year may have prevented Charlie from getting stuck into the weights.  I'm not sure, but I thought I read somewhere that care has to be taken in that circumstance.

Edit:  a quick google search suggests that may be a myth.

Charlie's only played a handful of games and shows some real flair so there's reason to be confident that he'll measure up, but only time will tell.
If he doesn't he won't be the only dud first round pick we've made in the last ten years, but I like what I've seen so far.
As for Daisy, he was a long way from our worst player last week so I'm buggered if I know why anyone wanted him dropped.

I have no doubt many blokes are on 'last warnings'!

But all in all, it's about hunger and effort - that's not a function of age or experience - but attitude.

That's where CFC has been soft for a long, long time now.

That's my impression too.

I also don't see the issue giving players more than 1 game (and the big opener to boot) to settle and show their wares.

If they pick up from where they left off last week (a fair 2nd half), and learn from the scratchy 1st half, they'll maximize their 2nd opportunities. Only then would I be dropping players.

Hope the big Dufus goes a bit harder at the footy this week

As Jack Dyer used to say he was getting where the ball " aint"....

Still staying up late on Christmas eve hoping for a glimpse of Father Christmas Thry?

I don't get it.  Thomas is liked by his coaches because he works hard and is a smart footballer.

I never thought he was all that talented, but I knew he worked his dot off.

I don't understand why people don't give credit where credit is due.

So many posters on here stated over and over again that all they want to see from our side is effort and attitude, yet they kick Daisy who delivers both those things in spades!

A lot of people just can't get past the Malthouse/Collingwood connection and the pay cheque, but as a wise man once said to me, "I've never known anyone to knock back a job because the pay was too high".
