Preview Rnd 23 - Carlton v Sydney Saturday 26th August 4.35PM @ SCG - Team post #143

[HARKER]

Reckon Cunners has some stuff they want him to work on. His last game in the seniors was ordinary (not alone in that game however).
Jaksch is clearly gone.
Army deserves to be carried off.

Fans can be so cruel.

 

[reubsblues]

What has Jaksch done to deserve a game? I wouldn't pick Smedts either

A farewell game

 

[BlueTongue]

No Hanners helps.

Disagree. Hanners has been horribly out of form this year, so dropping him for someone in form diminishes our slim chances

 

[BlueTongue]

get 'em Denny!!

Hope JB is calling the game for the MMMs

 

[rog1995]

I am really worried about Cunners contract situation considering he isn't getting a game. Hope he isn't leaving

No big H either sucks.

H is out for the year with a toe injury. Armfield is a club legend. Got the absolute most out of himself and is in the leadership group. Most importantly is a role model to players and people outside of football and in the community. He deserves a sending off game for getting the absolute most out of himself and using his status to better not only himself and the club, but also the community. Well done to the club for select him.
FWIW, I love what Bolton's doing uniting the club once again and showing the players that hard work and loyalty will be rewarded. Congratulations Dennis on a wonderful career.

I hope Levi can kick 3 goals this weekend, as he will equal Waite's best goalkicking year for us.

No tall forward has kicked as many goals as Levi had this season since Fev left.

Maybe puts things in perspective.

Yep. We've been crap for a long time and the game has changed dramatically

By the same token, he's finally worked out to get on his bike and get forward front & centre one out and demand the pill.

Basically he's learned to gut run.

Would have like cunners in but making him work for a spot isnt a bad thing. Doesnt sound like he played well last week. Has had a good taste of it, hopefully works his ass over the summer and can get 22 games into him next year.

Good to see army get a farewell game, be bleeds naby blue and will give his all. Hoping for a goal or 2 from the 50 arc.

Hoping for the same effort as the last 3 weeks and not the crap we served up 5 or 6 weeks ago. Be nice to sneak a win or even an admiral loss, hoping they havnt already switched off.

Would be nice to see charlie kick a bag and put pressure on rising star award

In honour of the 2010 elimination final ?

FMD not another Army dropping the ball free kick that kills us in the dying minutes

TBH very surprised Army was picked...club certainly gifting him a farewell game and showing they will look after loyal players in a way...which i guess is a nice message to send the playing group.

But his form has been pretty horrible and he's been a liability the last few senior games he's played.

He was emergency last week.
Maybe he's not as poor as you think.

Hope we don't target Mills again this week, would be a bit samey and unintuitive. If anything McVeigh should probably be the guy to go to, although he probably won't respond the way we want (get frustrated, give away frees and just generally lose discipline), shutting him down would go a long way to winning. He's been major in the revival of Sydney.

Give him a kiss?

I looked it up and worked out 25 points will be just enough. This was done by adding 100 points against for GC and 50 points for then adding 125 points against for us and 50 for.

Well, I wasn't wrong.

 

[katmanblue]

I dont like to bag out players but seriously how does smedts get another game after his last 2 wks he has basically been non existing out there Jaksch should have been given a game

8 tackles in a half last week is pretty good. was obviously given a job and did it.

 

[katmanblue]

If we were thinking of trading Cuningham, we would be playing him to show off his skills and raise his value. The fact that he is playing in the VFL is not a concern. Chill, people.

unless a deal is already done (in principle).

 

[katmanblue]

If Cunners isn't your favourite player, you're doing it wrong

Williamson all day

Waite did it in less games and really is better than Levi in every way.

I've seen every game Waite played for us. I don't need the stats.

I was pointing out that all of our tall forwards have struggled to kick goals for a long time now. Waite despite all of his promise could not find consistency in our side. Henderson failed.

By the way I'd challenge Waite being a better contested mark. Both are very good in that regard.

Super happy Dennis gets his swansong.

Up the baggers

Maybe but i saw his last 2 games in the seniors for us and they weren't very good imo.
But whatever it's our last game and im fine with him getting a farewell game.
