Rooke to take Scotland.

Regarding the continuing Hunt bashing...

Reason why Callan was dropped instead of Hunt...
Callan performs poorly in contests and would never get a team's best small forward because he has poor spoiling skills and is not mindful of his opponent. His disposal is questionable.

While I'd agree that Callan's disposal can be questionable (he either panics or is no decisive enough, IMO) I think he's got better defensive skills than Hunt, or at least as good. As you say, there's not a lot you can do when your opponents get perfect delivery, and looking at the Freo game Callan twice was within centimetres of spoiling Farmer.

If Heath Scotland is all we've got to worry about I'm pretty comfortable we'll flog Carlton. He's a battler at best.

Agree totally.... I like the way scotland goes about it, he is a good "battler".

I'm looking forward to todays match, I think all changes were warranted. All players brought in deserve their chance. keen to see how prismall goes, like this kid.

Am tipping a big game for jimmy bartel

Go Catters!!!!!

I read in the paper Gary Ablett Jnr pulled up fine, but just heard on the radio he nearly didn't make it to the game coz he ran out of petrol.
I also read that Rooke got hurt in a clash with one of our own players and Chapman and Hunt left the track early.
But that was in the paper this morning, they are probably ok.

Gee, I'm glad we were able to contain Scotland the superstar.

 

[Rhombus]

No way! Well I don't think he has been that good for us this year. Sure he gest plenty of the ball BUT his disposals have been something shocking this year. His ALWAYS going backwards. He tries so hard but I don't think his that good ATM.

Here he comes!!

 

[Partridge]

I'm just hoping Partridge doesn't get his/her hopes up

His hopes in fact. Nah I'm very happy that the Cats won, and also very happy with McCarthy that having got his chance he made the most of it with 5 goals - good for him.
