[Bletch]

No matchup in Sydney

McLean 2 goals, 6 marks. Young would have been a better option on him you'd think.

 

[GoBlues!]

Happy Paddy Day !!!

All we are saying is....

 

[Stamos]

His goal kicking, especially set shot is sub par. So hey, why not throw him forward and see if he can kick 0.4 just like the rest.

Sigh.....

It wasn't last year though

I'm a sucker for punishment, on the train

Paddy sub…

Voss presser post game:
"Well, we made him sub.
Unfortunately there was no opportunity for him to come on."
( Voss giggles for a full minute.)

we had an injury early but he can only play inside mid, so he didn't run out

 

[goreds]

Why was Young ever dropped?

Because he played poorly and cost us goals on multiple weeks…

Might go to Vivid tonight, not sure I can handle another Carlton performance…

 

[btdg]

Because he played poorly and cost us goals on multiple weeks…

Our coaching staff are far too concerned with the limitations of players and not their strengths

Might be a hot take but perhaps if we kicked 15 goals each week instead of 7, we could afford to back in a promising young defender who has only played 50 games if they make a mistake or two (or we could back in a young ballwinner who struggles defensively, or back Cripps to go forward and kick goals, or back Saad to run and create... or... etcm.)

is expected to be named as the Blues’ substitute for Friday night’s clash against Melbourne.
Dow, 23, was named as an emergency for the mist-win game but is expected to be named as the sub one hour before the bounce.

[Cringle]

Vossy to have a last minute change of heart and give Ed the sub vest.

"We felt his experience was necessary coming into such a significant game.

so much."

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Wondering if there's an out as I heard yesterday Fog got the tap on the shoulder to be Sub. Hoping not and that Dow just earnt it and Fog missed out

 

[btdg]

Dow as the sub would have been a good option from day one. Bit of extra burst in the center square against tired legs and someone who can kick a goal against tired opponents.

With all the noise, hopefully it still works. Much better than guys like O'Brien or Curnow who are endurance runners

 

[teddy-hopkins]

He's 23 dude, settle down.

I think you missed the point of my post. Not saying he's done if he can't make it in the next 2 weeks.

 

[jpfalvo]

Never said we had amazing development (although seems to have improved ie: drafting youngsters & actually playing them in their actual position). Nor do I necessarily think we did/didn't do Dow dirty with his development as I'm not privy to the inner workings of the club.
Was responding to a comment.
Dow for his position (ie: Per Voss & others at the club's next man up mantra) is behind others. Simple. Noted he can't play a secondary position. We're (as you said above) already playing mids out of position why add another that can't play a secondary position? If Cezz got done at the tribunal, Dow plays. If Kennedy/Cripps wasn't playing, Dow plays. Sucks for the young bloke but it's the reality in our midfield at the moment. They're never gonna drop the Captain regardless of form & he's behind Kennedy/Hewett & Cezz. (all without even mentioning Walsh having to play HHF/Mid/Wing mix). Personally I wouldn't have even brought LOB in this week & pushed Walshy to the wing swapping in/out with Cezz but hey.. that's me.

Hewetts been out multiple times, Dow didnt come in.

Kennedys been out, Dow didn't come in.

Unless the suggestion is all of Cripps, Kennedy and Hewett out, then Dow comes in?

While we are on it, the narrative of all 3 -> cripps, kennedy, hewett cant play together is rubbish as well.

They did it last year and we performed.

Kennedy played at half back, so out of position is a bug question to ask, and directly on Voss. Makes no sense

Cripps doesnt go forward this year is another.

Hewett playing when clearly not right, another.

Lets use the Setterfield example from last year. When played in position as centre square mid, did very well -> collingwood and Melbourne games.

Flailed in his role on a wing in previous games, because he is not a winger.

So back Dow, its clear the midfield isnt functioning. Try something different with Dow in the centre square mix, cant make us any worse...

Selecting Dow as a sub, will validate the clubs self fulfilling prophesy of he is not up to it. Let alone the scrutiny each possession he has in the few minutes he will get his chance. Just watch...

So "Cripps /Kennedy/Hewett all together is rubbish" - even though "they played together last year and 'we performed'.."

I'm liking the logic here.

 

[jpfalvo]

That's not new. He's always gone the conservative route with experience and the guys he knows more than youth and something different, even dating back to his Brisbane days it was his m.o.

I'm disappointed it hasn't changed.

And the young talent wanted out of Brissie as a result.

Including Docherty....

One of the reasons they had to move Voss on

Hollands/Cowan/Cincotta/Motlop/Durdin/Kemp/Honey

all being played by Voss - kinda makes your statement ...a tad questionable.

Silvagni/Ed Curnow/Fisher/LoB all previous starting players - all dropped by Voss as well as Young...

I think players are being given opportunity - and plenty of it.

a bit of fairness taking into account facts as demonstrated by actual team sheets - might be warranted dont you think?
