Firstly, red card yourself for that Petrenko comment.

Secondly, the Grigg idea has some merit. He does have the tank, skill, smarts, no slower than Lynch. Obviously his marking won't be so great but i guess the idea is to get uncontested marks primarily. Not sure it's an opening for him but this idea a 1000x better than your first one!!

Can I just clarify that Pets in is not what I want to happen. I was just thinking it might be what Sando decides to do because of the coaching panel's obvious selection erection for him.
 
Its frustrating that Lynch is out injured for so many weeks too. Given he has broken the jaw about two weeks ago, he probably may be starting some light running I would imagine.

Why would a broken jaw stop him from running? I presume he would be smashing as much non contact fitness as possible into him

Running around with a broken jaw would cause stress at the point of the injury.

Swimming he could do comfortably and weights. Standing still ball reflexes.

Fail to see how Otten can be considered until he puts a selection worthy performance on the board

Well that's exactly what I said in the post you have quoted, so thanks for agreeing with me. o_O

"If Otten plays well on the weekend, he comes back in. That might be a big 'if' though because he's (Otten) been putrid for the last couple of games now."
 
I'm in the rutten played well camp. Looked slow sometimes but killed the ball when it mattered. Also looked through the corridor when he got the ball which gives us some variety over the frequent long and wide switch which we favor.
Haha Rutten has always been slow but just keeps getting the job done

He is definitely slow, definitely old, but he was brilliant last night. He looks like he is going to choke and stuff up but he doesnt.

For me, he is and will be one of our greatest defenders for us if not the greatest. Although Caven on Carey and Pittman on Loewe in GFs count big time.

Certainly best by far in the last decade
 
The most important change for next week is no change. Its important to stay focused and play with the same intensity, do not get carried away after the great win last night and show up thinking you are going to win easily. No game is easy.
 
Your thoughts on the Carlton faithfuls reception of Eddie?

Anyone that boos or has harsh words against him, for all he brought to Carlton, should be escorted out of the ground by other Carlton supporters.

Terrific guy and character around the club for many years............why should that change just because he's playing for another club?

Having said that though we don't exactly want him to be the match-winner either. That's fair enough......No? :)

Absolutely... Just interested to hear what the thoughts are.... I would expect him to be boo'd.

Wright's balance when he has the footy though, it's excellent. When he's in form and finding the ball I love what this bloke brings to the side. Make him the sub, manage his workload for a bit. I think it's just a flat patch.

I agree - but I'd go the SANFL route. Playing as sub won't help him get his touch back. Put him in the SANFL, let him get back to form and carve up there for a bit, and demand his spot back.

Grigg/Lyons are both banging the door down - don't carry an out of form player at their expense.

Grigg isn't banging the door down. Needs 2-3 games in the two's to get his confidence back up.

Would've thought Blues fans would view Betts like we view Bernie. Both I think had read the writing on the wall and would have loved to stay. It was pretty obvious Malthouse only had plans for 2 of your trio, and Eddie being the older one was eventually going to lose out to Yarran and Garlett. Bernie was our sacrificial lamb. I think both clubs will always accept them back with open arms after the playing is done.
 
So many interesting dynamics with this game

- betts return game against his old side
- tex return game against the side and at the ground which he did his knee
- Carlton have lost all 4 games at the "G" this year
 
If we turn up with a similar sort of intensity next week, we'd have to be a big chance, wouldn't we?
 



CC was good........actually better than good.

Should all of Dangerfield, Betts, Cameron, Walkerssss, Garlett, Yarran & Menzel bring along their best games here, we'll have some highlights package.


meant no disrespect was thinking of the highlights reel as well
