Loving this line: HOK - Lord - Moir

That is some serious outage for them.

But more importantly ... we've got their Frank the Tank!!!

 

[circusdevil]

I understand that Fogarty didn't exactly cover himself in glory (a view mainly formed due to the two shots at goal he missed, unforgivable), but objectively, White was worse on the night; it's hardly an omission that's unfathomable.

I'm not just basing it on last week. I can kick further than Fog and my hammies are rubbish!

Can't argue with that, he's not great for a guy that's in the 8th year of his career. Unfortunately, I think he's contracted for next year.

 

[BlueTongue]

Not sure why we need to play Walsh given his injury with only 2 weeks left in the season and nothing to play for.

Id have thought he’d be better served resting up until the Preseason.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

What's Walsh playing for? He's been injured all year, his back, his foot. We've got two games left. How stupid. Can't we keep him on ice so he's fit and firing for next year?

 

[RAPPA]

He’s contracted.

Being contracted hasn’t stopped the speculation for our players like Charlie. I think if a player is keen to go they’d have no incentive returning from injury with 2 dead rubber games remaining

His teammates

 

[TheThunderboltKid]

Heading to the game for the first time in about 7 years and bringing my daughter to her first game, will we be able to just scan our membership cards to get in? Assuming it's not going to be close to full.

 

[haveago]

It looks obvious that Gov will not get the games trigger........good but I am hoping we can keep him on less money.
He has been on a very good wicket and it is now time to take a bit of a cut,make some room in the cap and play a couple more years.
HE IS STILL A VERY GOOD PLAYER IMO.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Na, watch them target one of the kids like Wilson instead. How is Motlop still in the team??

Because Motlop was better than White , Durdin and Fogarty

I think we might sign him for a year or two on a lesser contract with HOF's absence and SOS likely to leave.

Yes 100%

That's if he wants to stay

 

[gab213]

That's if he wants to stay

To be honest, if we picked someone else up for the short term, it really wouldn't bother me if he left.

 

[jj1978]

Would've been good time to set some semblance of standards, he's been out for 10 weeks, wasn't in the best of form prior to that but still he comes straight into the 1's.

Mind bottling.

 

[passmark]

Mind bottling.

Jarring

 

[Jimmae]

I don't understand how Fog gets picked after last week. Staggering

Works out fine if he's the sub.

hmmm

fair enough

get him another game in the VFL

and who knows. maybe he doesnt come back this year at all - make him really earn and show want to play AFL

Probably only a half so he's fresh as a squad rotation for the Essendon game.

Since last time we met in Rd 16.

Carlton
Out: Silvagni, Cerra, McGovern, Fantasia, Docherty, Curnow, Boyd, Cincotta
In: Cowan, McKay, Walsh, Durdin, Carroll, O'Keeffe, Moir, F Evans

To give a clearer picture, better arranged as:

Silvagni, Cerra, McGovern Fantasia, Docherty, Curnow, Boyd, Cincotta

replaced by

Cowan, Moir, O'Keeffe, Durdin, Carroll, McKay, Evans, Walsh.

 

[BlueTongue]

His teammates

No he isn't if he puts his 2026 season in jeopardy getting yet another injury.

He's a great player ...when it suits him.
Problem is he's inconsistent, a crap defender (though ball use is good), and we have a plethora of forwards now.

Bit of a wake up call for him maybe?

he feels like the ultimate tease in respect of what he has shown

 

[SurreyBlue]

Walsh, Gov, Hollands in makes us 4/5 goal better side

Gov? He gives the opposition 3 goals. Need to review your numbers.

Nah, he's 31 this year and had 6 years to do something, but he's teased the whole time. He can Piss off i reckon.
