Nah we can't go to the depths of Port Power. I will always want us to win, but the coach is an idiot. The two things can co-exist.
The SANFL game was instead of a postmatch run, apparently.
Certainly, if we go by the mantra of taking the club at face value, he is being omitted, not rested, which is just lunacy.

They've come up with the wrong answer if they watched it
And if he doesn't play SANFL this week ??
I am going against the narrative here. I dont mind the changes.
1. We want to play finals so Nicks is selecting the best players he can to fulfill that objective. Smith as a senior player on the list needs to be found out as whether he is going to be a contributor or like Murphy get a line ruled through his name and moved on. So he needs to audition players.
2. The omission of Draper. I dont think anyone can argue at times he has failed to contribute. Its his first year, I dont have a problem with him going back to the Sanfl for a few games. If we are aiming for finals, it makes development hard as by having Curtin and Draper in the side is like being one experienced player down in the side. Could we really expect to carry them both through every game and make finals?
3. Now for the good news. Nicks lives and dies through these selection. By dropping Draper he removes development as an excuse and the selection of Fogarty and Smith, two senior players plus Butts and Berry both relatively well experienced does mean Nicks can hardly blame injuries either for a loss. So this week is fair and square a battle of the game plans, coach v coach etc.

Thankfully two thirds wrong!
If he's tired, why fly him to Perth, play him as a sub, fly him back from Perth, make him run around in the SANFL, and then rest him?
Just don't play him in the SANFL.

We've kept Draper off the field and out of the middle long enough for his form to suffer
Now we can drop him
Mission accomplished
Curtin... you're next.

He played 3 quarters to be fair, not a full game
Its a fair assessment. Can we really argue he deserved to be selected other than on potential though. You cant carry potential into every game and expect to win. He really has not performed. He would know that. Going back to the Sanfl for a few weeks to get a few full games under his belt and practice running patterns I think will make him better for it.
3 of the 4 are still playing Saturday.....

Absolutely 100% how we go about it. Every. Effing. Time.
And no Edwards
I tried to be positive this year. Almost bought a membership again. But I’m genuinely hoping Carlton win. Time for change. Again. But nothing ever changes with this football club. Same stuff every year, regardless of which peanut brain coaches us.
