2018 Rd 4: Carlton vs North Melbourne in Hobart

[Lods]

Poor old Harry

To get in the AFL side he has to show something in the VFL side.
But how can you show something in the VFL side playing in the forward line of that side :-\

No doubt lods, but i reckon the coaches / mc would understand. I reckon we should play him regardless.

Enjoyed BBs media conference and especially like his clarity and determination around our direction. One of the first to put my hand up re posting through 'frustration coloured glasses', I found his firmness and confidence in our direction reassuring. I haven't heard that from a senior coach at the CFC since Parko, though there were strong moments from Ratts. Of course the proof of the pudding is in the eating, but, although still intensely impatient, I get the logic and good sense of the time it's taking considering the major tear down of our list that has occurred.

I'm nervously confident (what!!!!! :o ) of a very good showing in Tassie, by us, that is...

I'd expect our senior players to lift and beat Nth by 2-3 goals, Boltons words wont mean much if lose a game we should win given how ordinary Nth really are and lacking in A grade talent.
re: Harry...not sure what Polson did better than Harry to get a game and IMO Harry's ventures into senior footy have shown more than Polson...
Remains a mystery to me how we select teams....

I guess the argument would be team balance. Harry really hasn't shown enough to get a senior gig ahead of Levi, who he'd logically replace otherwise we'd just be too tall. I'd be surprised if Polson gets another go, though we really haven't anyone as quick as he is to replace him.

You'd think Marchbank and Polson out for O'Shea and SOJ.

What we really need to see is a good, hard competitive effort.

Words count for little if they're not backed up.
It doesn't have to be a win but it can't be a deflating loss.

OUT: Marchbank (inj), Lamb, Polson

IN: O'Shea, J. Silvagni, Obrien

Pretty much like for like there.

Rain and wind predicted for Saturday, ball will spend a lot of time on the ground, hope the boys are up for a scrap.

Sounds like a game for big body scrappers!!
