[The Blue Weirdo]

Well he’ll be forced to make at least 3 changes this week.

Going to be some robust conversation here on this weeks selection night.
I wonder if Dow might even be elevated to the emergency list?

 

[BeijingBlue]

We will be lucky to win just a couple f games before the season is over. Unless there are some significant changes.

 

[kreuze_missile]

What's the threshold for how many points we can lose this match by without a 10am Tuesday press conferece being schedulled?

80? 100? More?

 

[Ald Gardiner]

Carlton have not turned around a losing streak, without changing the coach for 22 years. I doubt it will change now.

So agree with this and it gets to the heart of our culture issues.

A big part of this reason is selection integrity and not taking the risks needed to change things up a bit.

 

[jimsta10]

The injury report will be interesting this week. I hope the stupid game plan does an ACL.

 

[bmaurizio]

We need a smart, creative, coach whom will mentor , inspire, bringing with him a sound , positive game plan.

 

[jj1978]

Hmmm how do we not put Dow in this week... starting midfield will be Fisher, JSOS, Ed, Doc.

 

[evo]

Whats the chances of Cincotta coming back in this week?

Asking for 90,156 friends.

 

[Benaly28]

Can’t wait for the Dow discussion to heat up this week.

[Benaly28]

Mind boggling that we can’t score this year outside the eagles game yet Charlie still on top of the Coleman.

Cameron also played against eagles perhaps when lions play Eagles late in the year might sort out if Cameron and Daniher are a chance.

[Blue since 72]

Hugely optimistic headline of the week:

Dow stocks up - what took so long?
Perennially overlooked first round pick, Paddy Dow was finally recalled to the Blues senior side this week and helped the Blues to a drought-breaking boilover win against the Oliver-less Demons. Tallying 32 touches and icing the game with a fourth-quarter goal, Dow was sublime - silencing critics both inside and outside the club and raising a few eyebrows among more than a few AFL club recruiters.
Time will tell how long his stay will be at the top level, but for now - the Paddy Dow train is back on track.

Haha love it.

and still got dropped the following week....

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Has been said on record that Dow is not getting a game because he is behind the others. No excuses now. If he doesn’t get a run this week then he never will.

I think that's the problem - they say that but they don't mean it.

He's consistently the best player in the VFL (competition wide) yet can't even get a game at AFL level even when we do have injuries.

My prediction: Cerra, Hewett out this week and he still doesn't play. Doc and Ed will play mid instead.

 

[jj1978]

If Dow does play, gets 2 goals, 6 score assists, lays 6 tackles and racks up 32 possies… when asked about it in the presser what does Voss say?

 

[V_23]

I hope Dow plays on Friday night, but I’m not getting too excited because:

• Even if he comes in and dominates for the rest of the year, he would be insane to stay at Carlton next year
• If he plays well enough, his trade value may increase from a fourth-rounder to a third

Hope he goes well, if selected, but the situation is too far gone to salvage anything from.

 

[Kruezing]

If Dow does play, gets 2 goals, 6 score assists, lays 6 tackles and racks up 32 possies… when asked about it in the presser what does Voss say?

We wish him well at North ?

 

[Sickblue]

We need a smart, creative, coach whom will mentor , inspire, bringing with him a sound , positive game plan.

Sounds like Nicks or Longmuir. Which is different to fly who is just brilliant on an EQ and life level, Ted Lassoesque! And very different to Voss…. Though hopefully with the right support around him he and we will be fine, but these are the most critical football decisions we will be making over the next 24 months. Yze would be nice in a strategy type role likewise old mate Leppa.

 

[Benaly28]

Oliver a chance to play this week.

Ahhhh.... so that's gonna be this week's excuse for leaving Dow out "Melbourne are giving us Clarry for the night". Like U14's when the numbers were down and they'd make kids play for the other team

 

[Skull Face]

Voss has definately missed a trick not selecting dow even if he doesnt have an impact on the game at AFL level his entire midfield has been out of sorts and thier punishment has been to be shifted to the hbf or made the sub and then back into the starting line up without showing the form to warrant it a week later while a guy who is racking up 30 and a goal week in week out cant get a look in.

It sends the message i dont care whos in form ill pick the guys who i think are better on the off chance they rediscover thier better form which makes them relax in the comfort and the guys below give up and stop pushing to get in.

 

[Benaly28]

Pitto broken hand?
