Pre game Promise AFL Rd 18 Carlton vs Collingwood at the MCG

[LP]

Some bold coaching and selections required.

 Not sure the coaches have much to contribute if the injury situation persists, they are holding back the dam but they can't stop the flood.

Carroll and Honey were OK in that mixed VFL team vs Box Hill game.
Got nothing to lose by playing them...

Exactly.  Give Setterfield the flick, contributes nothing.  Run Carroll against the batch of light, quick Pie kids.  At least he'll crack in and keep up.    Honey in for Martin.  That ditches another passenger. What's to lose, were fading out in 2021 as it is.

Have we traded out any 2021 draft picks? If not, we’ll have the usual ambivalence towards late-season wins.

Carroll has been OK since his return, well worth a HBF crack or perhaps to give Martin a rest.

Until I see Honey play 4-Qtrs at VFL level I think he's not an option, we'd be rewarding the guy a game for all the wrong reasons and sending a very bad message. There is nobody currently playing in our F50 that deserves to be replaced by Honey. Even the players on one leg seem to work harder than him!

There's an article from late April this year, that suggests we have 1st 2nd and 4th round draft picks intact. At the time of writing, we had picks 6,25 and 61.

GoPies, then

The Casboult/ Jones outs had me thinking we may have already started 'player management'.
We'll probably know for sure when Cripps has an issue that keeps him sidelined for the  rest of the year.

A couple of our youngsters look like they need a game too.

[ElwoodBlues1]

Going to be easy to sack Teague if we have run up the white flag and gone the tanking route....not sure thats fair on him if we start playing too many kids and get cleaned up badly from here on in.
I thought we had rebuilt and only needed draft picks to trade for top up cream on the cake players?.....?

LP... "there's nobody in our F50 that deserves to be replaced by Honey".

So,  Martin's last month has  really impressed you?
