Changes v Carlton - Changes, changes everywhere

[Topkent]

BenKen one of Caseys best again. 29 touches and 13 tackles.

Would have played if he didn't get on the piss with the boys. He would wanna have played well

 

[Proper Gander]

Goody on Grandstand yesterday mentioned Hogan as 'getting very close' and Garlett as might be available. Didn't bring up Watts though, so I figure he doesn't play.

 

[mrmonkey]

I know we have a lot of injures but I'm not sure we're that desperate yet.

I was hoping someone would pick that up. Anyway bad the kkk-h on the booze...and Spencer on the booze during the week hence the non selection.

Corey Maynard - 32 touches and 16 tackles, surely he gets a gig.

Watched him a couple of times, he's an aggressive bastard with good vision.

We need some excitement around the side and size at the stoppages.

Size especially with Viney and Jones out, Trac isn't capable of running a full game in the middle either just yet.

Yeah, the commentators were fapping over him but he was mostly anonymous against the swans. Really needs to build his tank a little better but that will of course come in time.
Crazy to say but Oliver needs to stand up aswell, Id be telling him if he wants to bring the weight of the world on his shoulders with diving and social media, then he would want to bring it on the field aswell

Joel Smith is probably underdone but I'd love to see him come in for White.

I'd rather play with 21 than white. I don't like writing off blokes who are trying to find their place at AFL leavel but each time
I've seen him play I've seen nothing to suggest he is capable at this level. Wagner has shown something at times.

Who's going to be our captain?

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Carlton already into $2.45... #valuetown

Got on at $2.81

Can see it being a coin flip betting game at the start of the game on Sunday. Yesterday's odds were fantastic.

Smith had 21 touches in the VFL, he's stayed fit because the injury was a shoulder so he could still run. Straight back in. Maynard can be the new AVB bring him in too.

 

[Topkent]

How much better does Maynard and Smith sound than Wagner and White lmao. Not even comparable

Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy better athletes. Couple of basketballers who have bolted past footy lifers in a couple of years.

The way footy is played these days basketball traits have never been more important. Seems like we are heavily focused on guys with elite athletic traits ... and white an Wagner

I'm a bit perplexed by this. They were told they could have a few beers and when they did they got suspended from selection?

I don't think the current game is that big a factor here. Taylor and co have gone for athletes who play hard, those guys are great value in any era if they can kick a footy. We built a dynasty out of a core of guns flanked by gun amateur sprinters. Have a read through our historic teams on Demonwiki next time you're bored.

Can't ****ing wait for Smith to get some seasoning. Will be a gun utility, reckon he'll be better than his dad for us and hopefully for a lot longer.

The AFL story isn't clear. I think the club might have changed its policy after the injuries to Garlett and Salem.

*Not actually sure if Maynard can kick yet.

So your resides played the day after your firsts last week?

Same day. I'm not sure the full story to be honest but they broke team rules which sucks because a couple of em would have been handy against the swans

I really like Kent. Not sure why he doesn't play every week.

Well blokes like Howe can be a potential AA despite having a shit footy brain in modern times because he plays in a zone without an opponent and gets free runs at the footy. If he had to play on Russell Robertson all day he would have 7 kicked on him.

Same with all these forwards who mark over the back but can't come at the ball carrier with any timing.
