[Arr0w]

In that case what would you do with Ed? Seems he is going to play in the 22

Omit, but in place of lacking speed, we need runners

 

[TENACIOUS]

imagine the horror of standing in the outer watching the blues struggle back in the eighties with no messaging, no social media, no idea what everyone's guess/advice was? no-one trying to interpret anything at all from a knowledge base of zero? just a pie and a drink and the blues playing footy - imagine that nightmare if you can.............

Would have been good times...

Clubs and players can't complain about the modern times...
The huge publicity nowadays, brings the $$$ for both players and clubs...

I wouldn't have Ed in the 22 either but my point was more he has now been named in the 18 so it's looking likely he will be playing - so if he's not tagging he doesn't really have a role. In saying that I don't even think he will be able to go with Nick but happy to be proven wrong. Just worried we will essentially be playing with 17.

Unless they sit him on Sidebottom or J Daicos, I agree

Only other option is a negating HF

Carlton won 3 flags in the 80's and that was considered struggling?

The highest I've seen us finish ever is 5th.

 

[JustaBattler]

Ed's selection is rather baffling to say the least - can only assume they have an assigned match up, otherwise his selection throws team balance out of whack.

Interchange I'd have TDK, Cottrell, Kennedy and Cincotta - which means we'd be leaving Owies out in favour of Ed.

I'd be including TDK - you can't have Pitto going solo against Cameron and Cox - and if he went down early in the game, we'd be ****ed. And I'm totally over the JSOS rucking experiment. Cotters provides extra run, Kennedy picks himself, and Cincotta/Boyd as the 7th defender - just please stop putting Cerra behind the ball as the 'distributor' similar to what Collingwood does with Daicos - it aint his go. His class is very much required in the guts.

Voss is pushing hard for midfielders to be able to play multiple positions on ground - his presser today is well worth watching.

Tons of dollars spent while the game becomes unwatchable bit by bit, year by year, rugbyfied without the biff

 

[branedotorg]

Surely there's no way Owies' spot is in anyway under question, he has been our second best forward this year

we lost plenty of games, played like crap, looked disinterested often

no need for them to complain when the supporters do enough for the entire 'industry'...........

 

[SurreyBlue]

The fact we are worried about a 2nd year player, that we are playing a guy well past his best to tag him. says it all. Embarrassing.

 

[Blue and Blue]

It's not really about Ed is it.
No matter who gets picked at least one of them according to a fair percentage of BF shouldnt be.

That horror nightmare scenario was magnificent. Plus we got to see 19’s ressies prior to the 1s. Try explaining that to a teenager today and they can’t wrap their heads around it

 

[BM123]

Dont think the knowledge base has gone up much .0001 now
but everyone knows it all

You ever talked to state level players let alone AFL? If you find someone who actually goes in depth about their game plan and "systems" it's fascinating stuff.

It's pretty incredible how far the game has progressed since Carlton's glory days.

whilst the supporters just stagnate......................

The game is an ugly unskilled rioting mob at times.....and not because of mud like it once was.
I follow Carlton not the game. Tragic really but wouldnt matter if they played tiddlywinks its always Carna Blues.

 

[morningbrown]

Underwhelming team on paper. Hope Fish is sub so we have a bit of speed.

 

[BM123]

we lost plenty of games, played like crap, looked disinterested often - are you suggesting you wouldn't have carried on like a tired 3 year old as you have done here lately?

We won 3 premierships in the 70's and 3 in the 80's. I don't understand how it's comparable at all.

Are you suggesting that I wouldn't be happy with 3 premierships?

 

[HarryFlashman]

Fisher must have really impressed not playing last week to get a promotion......

On CPH2005 using BigFooty.com mobile app

Did a great job washing Voss’s car & mowing his lawn?

 

[Beyond Blue]

So Daicos BOG then?

Curnow couldn't run with a tired Bulldog.

 

[Graffy4242]

No it's about Ed. We have a stubborn Match Committee who are doing their best to lose the game before the ball is bounced.

I mean these guys are expected to be a mix of long distance runners and conditioned/hardy enough to cop big hits. It's pretty insane how good the average skill level across the board is despite this though.

I agree that modern tactics/stratagems have made for a poorer spectacle though. Other team sports have suffered from people realising it's easier to drag teams down to your level than vice versa. Aussie Rules still holds up better than Soccer at least.

 

[Monty1978]

What would you change?

Umm I wouldn’t play Ed for starters.
I think if are going to tag someone or have 1 negative player it would be cotrell on daicos.
I would play Boyd , I know he hasn’t been great but saad needs help and I think with docherty in the midfield we need another runner.
I wouldn’t play Hewitt and Kennedy together so Hewitt goes ., I would play Dow for a different look
Also play mckay real deep and curnow up the ground .. cripps and Kennedy rotating in the 50 and cerra in the middle .. just off the top of my head..
my point was we are very conservative with the changes for the same outcome .. for the next 2-3 weeks try something different or tinker a little. I feel Voss has to keep the boys United .. it’s a long season and even if we lose the next 3 if we are United we can hopefully turn a corner and back end of the year win a few.

 

[passmark]

FMD.
Ed Curnow better have the game of his ****ing career.

 

[passmark]

I wouldn’t have thought I’d see Ed again but here we are.
