Hello Kitty
Miss Kitty
Came here to read Cockarfitt say we’d win by 10 goals + for disbelievers to cut the crap.
Didn't disappoint.
Couldn’t stop myself, tried, but just couldn’t

I'd say Carlton have the better list, comfortably - but Dew is getting more out of the Suns than Bolton is from the Blues.
Cripps, Curnow, Walsh, Dow, Weitering, Kruezer, Simpson, Murphy, McGovern, even McKay - they should be a lot more competitive than they are.
Sparkle
Simpson for Strawberry
If I was on the selection committee:
Out: Ablett, Dangerfield, Abbott, Clark
In: Stanley, Atkins, Z. Guthrie, Parsons
Probably the best opportunity to try out some players who haven't had a run in the AFL side yet this year, which means players like Jamaine Jones, Sam Simpson or Jed Bews might come in. Also, it's the best chance to rest Ablett and Dangerfield before the bye.
The side needs to be settled after the bye, and also as injury/niggle-free as possible, which means this week is crucial for testing out various different players to see where we're at

Should get the job done, but Gold Coast have looked good, Dew has really done some good stuff with their list.
If both Dangerfield and Ablett play this week I will start to get a little nervous and frustrated, its time to rest them I think

Clarko would be able to get Carlton to finals next year if he was the coach.
For mine, Ablett and Danger get a rest this week without question. Also, I think it's a chance to bring in Fogs to give him a run at AFL level, as he's just too good to be playing AFL. Might be a little soon, but still wouldn't mind seeing him get a game just for what he could potentially bring to the side/added depth. Same thoughts with Bews, if he's ready
In a perfect world I'd go with:
OUT: Danger (rested), Ablett (rested), Clark (rested), Abbott (omitted)
IN: Stanley, Fogs (more likely Parsons or Scooter), Bews (more likely Zuthrie), Atkins
Means our 22 is still pretty damn good, even with injuries/omissions:
B: MOC, Blics, Kolo
HB: Stewart, Taylor, Henry
C: Duncs, Sel, Parf
FO: Stanley, Guth, Kelly
HF: Atkins, Hawkins, Dahl
F: Rohan, Fort, Miers
INT: Bews, Fogs, Tuohy, Constable

He is a very sour looking bloke thats for sure, showed absolutely no emotion the entire game even when he kicked a goal, also needs to shave that bum fluff off his lip.
Should've been rested a lot earlier. For some reason, we have this philosophy around Dangerfield of needing to drive him into the ground, which only results in his game suffering.

what did we end up doing to fix the sore back situation? Like nothing and it just kinda went away?

He had a kid.....most of us knows what happens after that happens, less opportunity for back injuries

Would prefer to alternate the resting of Danger, Ablett, Selwood, Kelly, Duncan so we are not missing more than one at any time..
This. No 'resting' any of our matchwinners/game breakers when Danger is injured.

No. He doesn't.
Yep, don’t they have something like 10 top 10 picks- should be more than competitive, should be a good team by now.

The GCS have improved this year but don't really have the talent yet to seriously challenge us at this stage. Sure, they might hang about for a few quarters and look threatening, but this Cat's outfit won't be put off by that. These lads just keep grinding away and the class and efficiency of our forward line is what puts this team as the clear best in the competition at this point.
I guess what's on everyone's mind about this game is will the club rest some players for it. Namely Dangerfield & Ablett. One because of the niggling injuries he's accruing, the other because he's 35 and they need to manage his load. Who knows. The MC rarely does what we think they should do.
Fort should stay in IMO. Stanley should play if he's fit. Atkins should play if he's fit. Sav should be in the 2's working on his confidence.
As for who they drop, then apart from the 2 I've mentioned I don't know. Abbott (if Reece plays), Clarke (rest), Constable (for Atkins)
Lots for the MC to think about this week.

I agree... there realy has not been this type of comparison yet but I suspect its coming. Id suspect the what GC have done this year is a chnage ia ppraoch , have been willing to step back from must play kids. Miles etc have been a big help..add Cobertt one end add Collins the other and then play for a close game not an open game. Hw would Walsh go with this game plan I wonder? He'd probably adapt , he is gun kid.
Meanwhile a couple of GC younger players that have been missing games.. probably makes them a bit vulnerable to approaches but so be it.
