Changes v Carlton

Watched the replay

Jack Watts is marked so harshly by the people on here, including me.

First quarter he stands in the hole and shows great courage to take the mark and get absolutely crunched.

He got no credit for it from anyone on this forum, yet it was gutsy and courageous as hell.

He was also chasing multiple opponents numerous times, not his fault, where were his teammates? No wonder he could barely run, he looked stuffed.

Went forward in the 3rd and took some nice grabs and kicked 2 goals and looked at home, I wonder why? Because thats his natural position. Neeld is an idiot for ever moving him back.

no way should he be dropped, there was at least 11 or 12 worse players than him yesterday.

Play him forward from now on Neeld you moron

[Roost It 1,434]

Maybe, maybe not, but he's been good the last two weeks so deserves his chance to play again.

That's how you create a winning culture.

I'm just trying to save him the embarrassment

Good on ya mate. I've been imploring others to watch the replay. They've all been bagging Watts for "not chasing" yet that can't be further from the truth, he was chasing so much he was knackered, and he was the only one doing it.

Right, a pre-emptive dropping? Doesn't sound dumb at all....

[dbj1983 138]

Here's a thing about football. When you are a defender your first job is to be on your man. Watts was so bad at it he had to get moved forward. Here's another thing, when you've played been on an Afl list for 5 years you should know how to tackle.

My second post I've decided to keep Watts and play him forward but it's an indictment on him that he has to be moved back to the other end of the ground having failed as a defender. Imagine if you were a chef and had to keep getting moved between desserts and entres because you keep stuffing both up.

Here's a thing or two about life. If you are going to insult someone maybe get all the facts first.

Then you with your 56 posts won't look like such a tool calling me a troll. Stick your hash tag where the sun don't shine.

who cares how many posts I have? Sorry I have better things to do in my life than post 1500 plus posts. That aside, Watts was moved forward because we were lacking options at the time. As much as I would like to see him as a permanent forward we need his disposal out of the back line. As soon as he went forward our disposal from defense was sloppy at best. The guy lacks urgency as most on here would agree but at the end of the day he is in our best 22. Neeld made special mention of his efforts yesterday in his press conference so obviously be seems to think the same.

[buck_nekkid 5,858]

How do people here judge that Watts is running half pace, or lacking urgency, or doesn't have courage?

Seems that the measures being used are not the same as those used by the club.

Watts to stay in, forward. Dunn IN ( he is not done in) and back. Strauss in. Evans sub. Davey full game. Grimes to the middle. Mckenzie out, pedometer (autocorrect, but I let it stand given he heard 'footsteps' earlier in the year!) out. TMac stays. Rodan out.

Fitzy a possible in. Dawes to earn it through Casey.

[Soidee 1,496]

Does it really matter while Neeld is in charge on match day? It's just a matter of how much we are thrashed.

It's the truth folks, why bother about ins and outs when we are led by such a farce of a football department.

[Jack7 528]

Out-Rodan,why the hell are we putting games into a 29yo,he's not our future,no more games for him ever and bring in the future.

Bail-go back to the 2's and learn some discipline,having a ping when Davey was free in the square is selfish and irresponsible.

In-anyone with a heart

Now, can I share a big secret? One of Carlton's stars (not naming names) has just moved in down the road from me. Should I sneak over on Sunday morning and superglue the driver's door on his car shut so he is late for the game? Or maybe distract him and quickly tie his shoelaces together and hopefully it takes him a while to work out what the problem is?

Not something I would really do, but it did cross my mind (naughty naughty thoughts sometimes do)

i'd personally prefer if you went the "bash and dash over the head with a lead pipe" option.

But thats just me.

Struggling to work out if this is in bad taste or not... but equally surprised that there was a GIF on Nancy Kerrigan

Well thats enough for me tonight. Cheers Suz

Wow, I thought I had naughty thoughts but you guys beat me hands down!!

nahhhhhh, the only thing of bad taste round these parts is our footy club.

[Robbie57 2,020]

Can't believe those who drop mckenzie .

He walks ups to Judd and says remember me.

Judd gets really irritated by him

depends on his fitness. To me he just doesn't look right. Happy for him to stay or go depending on the clubs idea of his fitness. Problem is their really aren't any midfielders at Casey to replace him with. Nicholson just isn't disciplined or strong enough to tag. It's why I want Bail to do it.

Did some one say Kruuuuuuzeeeee

[The Chazz 4,077]

No.

If we are honestly trying to rebuild our culture we need to play those who deserve it, not just pick players based on their names. Plus, Byrnes out? Geez that's dumb.

So for mine it's:

OUT: Pedo, Rodan, Jamar

IN: Dunn, Spencer, Kent

Watts to take Pedo's spot forward, Dunn to take Watts' spot back.

Stuie, you first comment about picking people who deserve it, then you include Kent as one of your "ins".

It may be hard for some to believe, I'm honestly not a Kent basher. But WTF has he done at Casey to warrant a game in the seniors?

[The Chazz 4,077]

Guess again Ash. Suzanna clearly said that it was one of Carlton's "stars".

Have you considered why some players are sent to the backline? It is to improve their defensive skills which will stand them in good stead when they go forward. Watts will be a far better player for having this experience. Neeld is not an idiot. He knows exactly what he was doing.

you could tell him that jordie mac is in form and to avoid him at all costs, this might free up our midfield

seriously can't we have some sort of clause added to the code of conduct that allows us to life-ban people who post defeatist carp like this? Nobody wants to read it and it helps nothing

Been yelling this from the internet rooftops for a few weeks now, and Neeld finally does it and the kid kicks two goals in a quarter including an absolute ripper form the boundary.

Leave him forward for the rest of the season and let him learn instead of making cut throat decisions all the time on him when it all doesn't go according to plan.

He was good but not great the weekend just gone, but has shown a fair bit before that. He won't be regular 22 this year, but he did enough early in the year to have been given a shot by now IMO.
