Kreuse and Daisy out with " soreness ".
I wonder how long Cripps can keep going without some extra help. Him and Murph are carrying a huge load right now.
Pre-draft there was a lot of talk on here about getting some hard bodies in to help him. didn't happen.
I'm all for playing the kids, but half a dozen of them at once?????
An article on the AFL website is saying Cripps isn't playing like he has in the last couple of seasons.
No wonder. he needs some bloody help or he'll go down.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but Port by around 10 goals would not surprise me.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

Now that would be a plus.
We are a 50-50 chance if that happens.

Yep, the kids are not as precious about getting muddy compared to the seasoned AFL players who develop a penchant for roof covered bowling greens!

Nor me, Port are no more than an average side but this Carlton team is the most inexperienced I've seen by a long way.
Our young guns in Cripps and Weitering have only just been going, we sadly lack fire-power up front and our only class ruckman is missing, 10 goals won't surprise me at all and it could get worse than that.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Cripps will really miss SpecialK, as a duo they make a significant contribution to our clearances due to SpecialK's 2nd efforts. Phillips is someway off making that level of 2nd effort.
SpecialK doesn't stop, there is no hesitation between the hit out and the continuation of play, Kreuzer and Mumford are the two best in the league in this regard and by some margin.
Phillips is OK but not nearly as good as Kreuzer.
Most rucks hesitate momentarily to see who is where and what is happening, just a fraction of a second. Casboult is particularly bad at hesitating, it takes him a second or so to get his bearings and decide what to do next. Jones was about the same but looked better with the NBs in the first game, I won't judge him on last week as that was against kids.
Gorringe is not a ruckmen, he's miles away, he is more like another Rowe in the making.
Korcheck cannot be judged, he's so raw he doesn't know what to do even when he's got his bearings. Which is odd because Ex.Basketballers are usually quite good in traffic. I think Korcheck should really have gone down the Rugby route!
