Rd 19: Pre Game Irritations: Carlton vs Geelong

[DJC]

Looks like Ed won't be back this season.

Bolton indicated that it was a pretty serious injury last week 

I have to wonder about the cause and whether there should have been MRP action  :-\

Kerridge for Danger and Nick for Selwood?

Shorts to ankles
Hands to toes.

So what's you plan supercoach, let Dangerwood run around unattended and lose by 15 goals?  Don't want Gibbs tagging, we can't win playing our best mid in a negating role. 

Maybe give Cunners a task, though I wonder about him sustaining the necessary workdays.

Ed curnow ruled out for ANOTHER 4 weeks.

Cue in the rack.

The plan is to play keepings off for as long as possible and keep the ball away from them.

We don't have a player to negate one or either of them currently. Not many teams do!

If we tag them, they'll still perform.
If they tag us, we won't perform.

With a bit of luck we can have Gibbs and Murphy go to them, shake hands, and say see you after the game.

That way we escape a tag on our 2, and help our chances of winning.

Ed Curnow would've been our most important player this week. We'll miss him alot. Last year we blanketed both Dangerfield and Selwood and won comfortably. Be harder this year.

Yep, let him get right for 2018, just no point playing injured blokes now!

I'd like to see footage of the moment when Ed sustained that injury.... and pass it on to the AFL.

Well, the elephant in the room leaves one major suspect.

An AFL player who gets a leave pass on handing out throat shepherds, not that I can put a chopstick on his name!

Indeed. That has always been a question mark. If it is who I think it is, then the AFL are NOT going to want him coming under scrutiny, but the game needs to have him under scrutiny.
Andrew McKay got 4 weeks once for a 'don't argue'. And it didn't cost hos opponent 8 - 10 weeks on the sidelines.
