Pre game postulations: AFL 2021 Rd 7: Carlton vs the Drug Cheats

[Gointocarlton]

can we see 2 things this round 1. no long bombs into fwd line.2 can we kick to a forward in Best position not just to Harry.

Now why would we go and do those 2 things, pull your head in.

Some interesting stats about the history of the rivalry...

Good luck to Weits for his 100th game in the great jumper.

Why not try him as a small forward, then we can see how "elite" his kicking really is. Push Fog/Stocker into the midfield, they are tough and can tackle.

Get him in the middle to fatten his stats then trade him at seasons end for Cerra, he isnt going to improve us to any great degree
with his inconsistent approach to most aspects of the game and I'd be dealing him now while he has some perceived value.

SPS was drafted as a midfielder....it's a role we're crying out for....if he can't cut it in that position, then trade out for someone who can.

[capcom]

Probably worth a second rounder at best

[ElwoodBlues1]

Probably worth a second rounder at best

Thats why we need to fatten him up with some midfield time and get his value up if it becomes apparent in the next 3-4  weeks their is no hope of finals.

I have little expectation that he will significantly improve. If we could trade him as a part of an upgrade deal then go for it.

On a side note, do a sample of your friends ideas on Teague, and you'll see that there is a growing minority of people who never wanted him, think the club caved to player pressure, and are now happy for him to go.

In that equation, and the Carlton football club, he is effectively a dead man walking. 

Its a shame, but it looks like "we'll get our man again".  Ross Lyon the latest rumour.  Ive heard Michael Voss muted as well.

If we do it, Im cancelling my membership.  I only use it a couple of times a year and usually reserve a seat with my brother in laws AFL membership anyway when I CBF going. 

Thry, I've taken a sample of eight long time Blues supporters.  The view on Teague is that he is most likely gone at the end of the year.
Generally there is sympathy for him - similar to Ratten.
They are furious with the club.  As one supporter put it, " We were told we needed a rebuild and at the end we would have a team that could go all the way to the finals.  What have we got - a list about the same as we started with."

[WASurfer]

Macca....pretty much sums up most of the frustration that Blues supporters that I know have at the moment. We seem to have been in rebuilding mode for some time. We had all of those high draft picks...then stocked up with blokes from other clubs incl. Martin, Williams, Saad, Betts (coming back) etc....and yet it's hard to see where much improvement has come from.

Yes Walsh is an absolute superstar in only his 3rd year and Weitering is continuing on from where he left off last year...and McKay for the most part is getting there despite not being able to kick a goal from directly in front....but outside of that, there's not much else.

Hard not to recall the game where he single handedly demolished the Dogs....

he was given licence that night to just play footy.

Round 5 2019, 35 disposals....

Then they decided to move him into defence. Idiocy.
