Changes for Round 17 - Carlton

[waswan]

If no rucks avaialble
Clarke to tag Walsh
Mcveigh or Thurlow in for balance
Drop Ronke, miles off it
Drop Rose or at least when you play him put him in as a mid where he normally plays, totally lost as a fwd, tries to body when he should be jumping at it
Look what happens when you play Rowbottom where he has been playing NEAFL
Only thing going for Rose atm is that from a distance he may get credited with a possession or 2 off Heeney

[Captain]

I would like to see Stoddart come into the team along with Fox. Give them both every game for the rest of the year and see if they are going to make it.

Ronke and Rose would be the ones to make way.

IN: Cameron, Stoddart
OUT: Ronke, Rose

Ronke & Rose out

That is all

I never knew there was a bigger cliff to drop off than what the Bulldogs have fallen off, but gee the one Ronke has fallen off is huge. He looks totally disinterested. Many opportunities to be front & centre on the weekend, but was caught out of position and behind his opponent. Appeared to have no desire to chase and run down just let the ball easily waltz out of our fwd line, with no forward line pressure.

Rose just isn't up to it.

It certainly is a definite case of 2nd year blues in a huge way for Ronke - just offering nothing sadly at the moment

An article on the afl app suggests Darcy Cameron could be a shock in for us if he is able to get through training this week ...

The direct Longmire quotes from which the story is derived are not promising. Haven't heard the presser yet, but suspect Curley asked about Cameron.

Stoddart...yes
Fox....No, he's had ample opportunities, 5 games this year, about 20 in total...He's 26 years old.... Just not going to impact at this level.

Agree re Stoddart but would keep Fox on list. Can hold his own and play a role if necessary.

Fox is depth only, worth keeping a handful of these players in case of crisis, if they want to stay

[stevoswan]

Fox is the new Towers but sadly, I don't think he'll last as long. Pity, because I thought he had potential to improve into a solid contributor but it appears not.

Look, I'd like to be called up to play this week, but I'd like to have a Saturday arvo drink even more!!

There's an after-match function this week if youse missed the email.

Fox is better than Towers. He has a solid all around game, is a good mark and very accurate kick, especially for goal. His versatility is a bonus. I haven't paid enough attention, but I think he's had mostly tagging roles in his senior appearances this year. He gives more than both Rose and Ronke at present, but given his age, probably has less development left. I wouldn't rule him out for more appearances this year. He was the travelling emergency last week, which was based on his team best performances in the NEAFL.

[Captain]

Fox needs to play the rest of the year and get some confidence. If he plays all remaining games, everyone - us, the club and him will know where he stands and if he will make it.

Only reason not to do this if they have already decided to delist him.

Normally I agree with giving young/new players a block of games.

But Fox has already played about 20 games in the seniors and I think we already know what he brings to the table....Occasional flashes, but generally low impact.
