Tell Darcy...if he doesn’t re sign immediately (on our terms)...then he’s getting no desert for a month.

Sier looks like the future

Let’s get games into him
 
If we even think about playing Oxley I’ll buy a Carlton membership. The bloke shouldn’t even be at the club let alone in consideration for a game.

Subject: Injury update - straight from the horse's mouth

Just back from the Club 42 function which was the traditional coaches' night with Bucks, Longmuir, Buddha, Rivers, Gotch in attendance.

Bucks - as is his wont - spoke candidly, honestly and excellently. Unfortunately injury news isn't what you want to hear.

Said that Elliott was 1 month away, Moore and Reid 3 weeks away and Varcoe 2 weeks away.

Let's pray for no further injuries in the next few weeks as according to Bucks the VFL options aren't quite ready!

When he returns Darcy will be played behind the ball initially and then he'll reassess. Seemed to imply that Reid and Moore may well be competing for the same spot!

Important to note that those injury assessments are in line with what he’s said publicly if they are referring to returning to the senior team. For example he said today that Elliott was a couple of weeks away from playing and also that the injured players would have to go through the vfl. So a month away from the seniors seems right, as do the slightly earlier returns for the others.
 
You stole that joke from Don Bradman.

Shortly before his death, Don Bradman, who famously averaged 99.94 in cricket Tests for Australia, was asked what he thought his average would be against the then poor England team.

“About 50 or 60,” he replied, after thinking for a minute.

“Surely it would be much higher?” queried the interviewer.

“Oh, I don’t know,” said Bradman, “I am ninety-two.”
It was actually something he said in the interview with Ray Martin a few years before his death. Martin asked him what his average might have been against the fast bowling attacks of the West Indies teams of (then) recent years, which of course contained the likes of Roberts, Holding, Marshall, Garner and the aforementioned Patterson. After a pause he replied something like: "Oh, about 50." Martin looked surprised and said something like: "Is that all?" Bradman looked at Martin as if he thought he was being a little unreasonable and said: "Well, I am a man of 85 years."
I might have the number wrong, but I'm sure of the rest of the details.
 
No way Crocker or Oxley get in.

Has to be out of Sier, Brown and Appleby as an in for Wells. I can live with any of those coming in. Preference is Sier.

If Crocker or Oxley come in I will be shocked.
I agree and wouldn’t be surprised if we see Brown selected as he has the most experience out of those three.
 
Looks like it'll be a debut for Sier. And rightly so.

Deserved based on VFL form, the other 3 don't warrant selection.

The one change a major plus, too, continuity as a group is absolutely critical.
Browns form has been excellent...

Perfect opportunity to blood Sier - without getting complacent about Carlton. WE know conplacency is deadly against any AFL team.

Agreed. I tend to think it'll be Brown but if you are going to give a debutant a 2 game run (as is the norm) then the Blues and Suns is about as good an opportunity as any to blood Sier. No complacency there at all either - would rather a young first gamer come in against those than say a more hardened Sydney or Richmond.
 
If we don't unleash the bear I'm burning my membership, then microwaving it then chucking it into a tub of dry ice.
Unleash the bear Collingwood or your Turkish membership will drop by 100%
