The club must exercise due diligence in such circumstances.
That we won't have a backline to compete in the AFL is neither here nor there.

Wishing big Jonesy a complete recovery and quick return to the side.

Well said.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

it would be an unconscionable scenario.

Spot on.

Agree - I think that Goddard gets a shot this week
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Keep in mind in the VFL we've been playing Kerr back at times, and he is quite useful to push forward if the other forwards struggle like yesterday. He can even pinch hit in the ruck!

It may be time to drop Charlie for Kerr anyway!

I appreciate Goddard is quite mobile, and somewhat physical as well. But I would also say he is workman like, not unlike Selwood the lesser compared to Selwood the captain!

Workman-like sounds quite appealing in our back half at the moment - come in , and do a job.... blokes who know their limitations make good backmen - think Dale Morris.....

I don't think our back-line is where the problem lies, but I appreciate we have to cover Jones.

I actually thought Levi went from almost a dud to somewhat OK in the second half yesterday, once he stopped rucking and went more full-time defender he looked significantly better.

So I'm going to say our D50 coach is OK at the moment, whoever that may be!

We had a small, light but fleet footed midfield yesterday, full of healthy kids, yet we had stuff all I50s to speak of! The only time we looked like getting inside F50 was from sMurph, Daisy or Ed. That's a massive problem because when we turned them around we just couldn't get past the HFF.

You missed Fisher who was probably our best given the duress they played under.
