carlton have given up. Playing bruise free footy aside from Cripps. If I was a betting man , take the 73+ margin and try and make some money back on a wasted membership.
It's all about the kids now. Say your farewells Rowe, Thomas, Wright, Kerridge and Graham you guys are clogging up the list - time to make way for the kids. The VFL beckons for you guys and a few others who just dont cut it.
To the other imposters running around earning good $$$$ wearing Carlton jumpers, you guys are on notice for the next 6 weeks. Show us some intensity, play with some heart, run hard, chase , tackle , or simply move on coz we dont need anyone not willing to bleed for the jumper.

In: Graham, Byrne, Lobbe, Wright, Weitering (if fit)

Out: Polson, Lamb, Garlett, Kreuzer, Shaw (stays if Weitering isn't fit)
 
Levi or Kerr and Lobbe have to come in if MK is out.

Levi or Kerr can do the chop out work in the ruck and drop back to FF when not rucking.

Would like to see Bolts tell Charlie to just roam around the whole ground.

Would like to see Bolts tell Harry to play around the CHF to wing lines.
 
I'd drop Polson and Rowe, and bring in Byrne and Weitering. Silvagni to play exclusively as a forward.

On the money. I’ve been calling this for several weeks for the following reasons.

1. The young players we got aren’t up to it at this stage. In all aspects skill, size, fitness and attack on the ball. Surely they know that they have been gifted token games not based on performance.

2. It’s not good that these kids play in a team that get belted every week in front of Australia, or be it a few states, on TV. Very depressing.

3. Put them all in the 2’s together so they can enjoy a few wins hopefully whilst having a major contribution and influence in the result.

4. Listen to another voice other than our 6th Grade primary school teacher coach and his green shoots and synergies.

5. The kids have probably won at everything they have done in their juniors. Whether footy, athletics or any other sport they played. So they wouldnt be used to the feeling of embarrassing loses or hopelessness. They can’t physically change the course of the game, yet are required to do so for a win. It would be demoralising for the likes of Cripps and Curnow who bust their gut with no reward let alone younger ones who know they are getting games just for the sake of it.

6. Some of the kids would hate to be in the same locker room as Cripps or simmo knowing that they run over the ball in most contests with fear or others that get 3 possessions in a whole game

However, I believe the kids are the future, teach them well and let lead the way.

Throw the battlers in the fire till season end, save the kids for next year or the next.

Oh wow!

Hey dj, Cuningham has a season-ending hamstring injury. I'll allow you to make the change there, but I've made one other modification myself.
