I don't think you'd be a lone wolf with that opinion.
I'm interested to see whether he misses any games - the impact wasn't at the point of the shoulder like what would cause an AC joint sprain or tear, but was more to the rear and under. Would have jarred like a mofo, but if his shoulder joint is strong enough and was stable at the time, he might have gotten away with some minor inflammation from the impact and just a real bad ache for a while lol

Rowe to McEvoy
Weitering/Jaksch to Gunston
Plowman to O'Brien
Tuohy to Sicily
Would not mind seeing Weitering play a little more forward this game. Jaksch would be a good match up for Gunston.

Sorry for intruding on your board.
Always had a soft spot for the Blues (since late 70's)
I really enjoy the way you guys are going about it this year, upbeat and having a crack. Bigger things to come.
Enjoying what Bolts is doing at the club.
Hope we win but hope you guys go hard too.
I always look forward to Carlton v Hawks reminds me of 70s n 80s.
Bring it

Those are great reasons to throw around encouragement and use an individual as a metaphor for the goals of the group, but it's not a good reason to keep picking him.
Truth is, he could do plenty to further his abilities (most notably decision making and skill execution), but he hasn't. If I'm kicking puppies in this metaphor, you guys are mindlessly patting them on the head for repeating the same trick over and over.
Is he too simple-minded to improve these glaring weaknesses? I don't believe so, so why all the praise?

KJ showed some good signs at the VFL yesterday. Really attacked the footy like I hadn't seen him before. I wrote yesterday, and I think it's still valid that perhaps the penny has finally dropped for him. I'd like to see him get another chance before the year is out.
I'm struggling to think of any poor decision making or skills errors from White in some time.

That's because he's been kicking it backwards and sideways more than ever, and he's often quite slow to do so, at which point the opposition have happily conceded the kick.
I'm OK with him being not the fleetest of foot, I'm OK with him not being an elite kick, but I'm not OK with him completing killing the tempo of our ball movement.
Same.
Career best form.
If he gets dropped it will be a match-up issue, but he appears one of the first picked at the moment.
I'll try to keep an eye on him more for the rest of the year then. I'm not seeing any critical flaws in what he does but am not focussed on him either.

Shan when a poster clearly dislikes a player they will always claim things that probably don't exist. I wouldn't be wasting your time looking for things, White has been super this year and thoroughly deserves his place in the team. Not much more to say really.
I hope so. Too many teams decide to play the whole "Put everyone around the ball" against us here and it makes a butt ugly spectacle. Hopefully Bolts won't do that though.
Your midfield was excellent on the weekend and they'll have to play like that again to put scoreboard pressure on. I think we'll set up about 40 out from our defensive goals for centre bounces on the assumption you'll probably get more centre clearances and use our half back line to generate all the drive forward.
Loving the look of you guys this year, you should all be proud of how the club has turned around on field
Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but I remember one of our players from earlier in the year saying that we'd like to be playing our best footy towards the end of the year, which seems like something does really well (peak for finals). It's just felt like we've been building nicely for the last couple of weeks and looking forward to coming home strong towards the end of the year. Hopefully this is something we can really do well over the next couple of years after we've put together a stronger base at the start of the season.
That's because there have been few critical flaws in the way he has gone about his football this season. I reckon he would be Top 10, or just outside, in our B&F. There is nothing flash about him, but he is doing his job more often than not & I'm not sure who else on our list can play as many different roles as what he does.

He fumbles his first touch way too much, it can really get him into trouble. If you re-watch the sydney game you'll understand.
OUT: C Curnow (Inj), Kerridge (inj?)
IN: Jones, Tutt
Casboult getting a little bit of criticism for his performance on Saturday and to be honest I didn't think he was that bad.
When you consider our less than average foot skills going forward and the fact that we were playing in a wind tunnel which also contributed to the said below average foot skills he kept presenting and giving an option.
Tutt for Kerridge if he is injured. Has plenty of speed which could trouble the dorks if he can actually get his hands on it plus we need more outside run at the moment.

Please no more Tutt.

I really hope you're right. It stands to reason that we're due a win, just as they are due a loss, but as I said in my post, they're a game clear in first, and their footy hasn't lit the world on fire yet, when we know that, should they be on, they really can. Either their form reverts, and they smash us - regardless of how well we play - or they continue their indifferent form, and we get our opportunity.

I agree, but wonder if BB has any useful inside knowledge of Hawthorn that might work to offset this somewhat ...

Yeah I agree. We probably don't need him with Armfield back in the team anyway.

Hey guys, we are super close to getting over 50K members this year, a couple more would really help....
But seriously, I always like to see constructive feedback/comments from opposition supporters on our board, so cheers.
If Kerridge is out, Whiley plays. Has earned another crack
Absolutely. Will be hard to keep out this week.
Whiley has his short-comings but should have got himself up to speed to support Cripps by now............no better time to start than this week.
