I don't imagine he'll be out of the forward line this year for Carlton. Not unless he's dropped. He's been great as a 3rd tall forward so far. Would surely turn some heads if he ends up with 40-50 goals like he's on track for.

Easily BOG against us. But yes, has been good without being great for the other games.
He'd be up against the rebounding defenders like Shaw, Enright and co. for a spot rather than Merret, Jamison and McPharlin.
AT THIS STAGE from the Pies...

Over Garlett? Get off it dons supporters.
J. Riewoldt kicked 5 on him but I thought the contest was even, kicks had to be Jack's advantage otherwise Merrett had him covered.
Get your hand off it. To date:
Certainties: Pendlebury, Swan
Possibles: Shaw, Cloke, Thomas

Heath Shaw is a stone cold certainty thus far.
Rustin Cohle
Flat Circle
Shaw would be a certainty at this stage.
Taking the piss with Mitchell nowhere to be seen, are you judging him by Mitchell standards or normal ones?

If they picked it now Shaw would be a certainty
My side so far:
B: Enright - Merrett - Jamison

HF: Cloke - Franklin - Embley
FF: Martin - Riewoldt - Chapman
Foll: Cox - Pendlebury - Judd

Em: Mitchell - Fyfe - Griffen
(Uncomfortable with Mundy out of position)

Just highlighted the two that caught my eye.
If Travis Cloke makes the side this year, it won't be as the HFF. Also, there's no way Buddy can be selected as the CHF on current form. He is certainly in the side but as it stands, he is a flanker because the two towers are Cloke and Riewoldt and this is reflective of how they play the CHF/FF roles respectively.

Buddy is averaging 19.4 disposals and 3.6 goals per game including 2 clear BOGs in 5 games, without really getting out of 2nd gear. Pretty similair stats as last year when he was selected AA CHF.
Cloke is averaging 5 less siposals per game and a goal less per game. If Buddy starts leading more and kicking at just 60% for goal ( which you will figure will more than likely happen ), the gap will get even bigger on Cloke.

Why will that more than likely happen?
Where's this bloke been hiding? Very impressed with him to date. Wonder if any other clubs had him in their sights during the draft?

With all the criticism from the Geelong game about Franklin not leading and trying to beat two or three players in a contested marking situation. Both him and The Hawthorn Football Club coaching staff would have to be dumb as doorknobs to let that happen again. It's clealy obvious that isn't the way he should play.
His goalkicking groove is back the last few games after a poor start in front of the sticks. He looks like he is kicking pretty well
He's been around a bit...first came to notice at Bendigo 4 years ago. Has slowly but surely come through the ranks since. Another case of a player coming from the VFL and having an impact.
Here is my team after round 6
B: Adcock - Merrett - Scarlett
HB: Shaw - McPharlin - Enright
C: Judd - Watson - Swan
HF: Martin - Franklin - Embley
FF: Fyfe - Riewoldt - Chapman
Foll: Cox - Pendlebury - Bartel
Int: Sandilands - Mitchell - Jamison - Mundy
Unlucky: Pavlich, M.Murphy, Garlett, Cloke, Rockliffe

Not really, he has been playing key position all year with Pears out and has performed better than all of the above.
Good to see Jamison getting some love in this thread. Not sure if he'll quite get over the line for AA but has been excellent so far.
