Yep, reckon we are barking up the wrong tree if we're trying to apportion blame on Charlie for our problems in the forward line.
Martin's inclusion this week is a big thing for us, he's tough, is highly skilled and takes his opportunities in front of goal more times than not, can't wait to see Motlop and Fog back in there as well.

It is a contributing factor though just not the sole factor.

When will we see Motlop playing ? I thought he had a relatively minor injury but seems like he hasnt played for ages.

 

[Blue since 72]

It should never have been able to get to Daicos by a flukey finger tap in the first place - after three Carlton players fumbled the ball skywards FFS - but yeah watching the little prancer waltz around teh contest without a check at least - that capped it all off...

grrrrrr

little prancer.

That's gold Jerry, gold.

 

[Juddrockz]

Durdin not the sub. I disagree with the sub tonight ..

Martin?

 

[JJBagger]

When will we see Motlop playing ? I thought he had a relatively minor injury but seems like he hasnt played for ages.

He had turf toe, then injured his hamstring during his recovery. Should be back in the next couple of weeks

 

[xDQ82x]

Martin?

Nope midfielder

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Nope midfielder

Hewett

 

[gab213]

He re-injured himself, from the injury updates it seems he may be back next week or the week after

* I really need to scroll back a bit more, didn't see that JJBagger had already answered this

 

[agro]

If Charlie was 100% fit ( which has hasn't been for weeks) he would be swapping with Harry as far as the CHF role goes - he stopped running down wings to take relief marks weeks ago. If he is constricted in movement and looks very much like that as far as sideways stuff goes- he will want to stand ground as much as possible...if we get 1-2 goals from him doing that we are doing well - fortunately he can still jump.

I believe he’s carrying a knee injury.

 

[Aphrodite]

Blues Radio back for another week …

 

[ESKIE]

Nope midfielder

You’re kidding hewitt .. yeh don’t agree either

 

[xDQ82x]

You’re kidding hewitt .. yeh don’t agree either

I wonder if a team would ever change their mind once they were at the ground

Doubt it due to structures and preparation.

But I keep hoping tonight

 

[T2B_]

Hmm would think we'd need George against the early Melbum heat in the middle. What would I know though.

 

[Benaly28]

Looks like they’re rotating the mids first it was the small forwards.

Well we all just have to trust the process I guess?

 

[gab213]

Hmm would think we'd need George against the early Melbum heat in the middle. What would I know though.

I feel that we are carrying one too many midfielders in the team and the problem is that you could make a case for them all.

Eventually, with more players returning, Quite possibly we'll be talking about how unlucky one is to miss out. We have others who can run through the midfield for short bursts to give others a chopout if necessary. The squeeze will come soon, you can't play everyone.

You can never have too many midfielders

 

[Mondyboy]

Hewett wasn’t great last week.

But I’m also not sure what he offers as a sub.

Him being sub (if it transpires) won’t be the reason we lose the game.

[Red_man2008]

Cincotta is the man.

Watching saba’s analysis he has a fair bit to work on and arguably Pickett is much stronger than hill. Hopefully the club has analysed the moments like he has

 

[Red_man2008]

Sen fanatic is back again with Maher kouta and ang again. Use the app sync to your tv. Much more entertaining that the dribble we get on tv.

It’s not too bad although last week they talked over each other but as you say its better than BT and Co
