Ins & Outs - R15

Re: Ins & Outs - R15

I seriously think we need some new fresh blood in our forward line, at the moment we have players like Hahn down there who pretty much knows hes not going to get dropped,

Mitch has been pretty ineffective in more than one game this year. Actually I am a big fan of Mitch, but I feel he has never been the same since that heavy knock he took earlier in the year. Is there anyone inside the club or who has contacts inside the club who can state what the story is there? I'm not calling for him to be shot ( like some other posters! ) but I can't quite define his role in the team now that we have Barry and feel that he works hard, but is out of touch. In short, I really agree with Doggies FTW; fresh blood needed.

Not even two weeks ago you were the only one calling for Mitch to stay in the team, what has changed your mind?

He room-mates with Lenny Hayes and Luke Hodge.

I imagine there are quite a few bookings down there.

That could be a thread in itself.

Leon Davis, Jimmy Bartel, Drew Petrie etc

Back to the topic, Everitt as second ruck definitely has merit. What do we do with him when Hudson is on the ground?

Re: Ins & Outs - R15

Gilbee and Harbrow on two very very dangerous forwards like Betts and Garlett worry me a lot. Especially Harbrow on Garlett.

My concern is Harbrow is the player most likely to run and bounce his way out of defence but he is also only a 50/50 chance of hitting a target. If he turns it over Garlett will be used on the way back through and most likely hurt us on the score board.

Harbrow is still pretty good defender, sure he has had a couple of bad ones recently, but he torched Milne who has been the best performed small forward this year earlier in the season when he helped himself to 36 touches and kept Milne to just 12.

Harbrow also performed pretty well on Betts last year (his 1st run the small defender role).

I'm pretty confident that Harbrow can keep Garlett under a tightish rein while still providing drive from defence.

Really? I seem to remember quite the opposite - he certainly got better at the role, but it wasn't a spectacular start. JH 12 touches, EB 13 touches and 3 goals.

Bad news for Sam Reid. He's out for the season. I feel for him. He work so hard and just got back to the senior team Read more here

Just read that, and was about to post it! hard luck for the bloke, but good to hear they're being proactive in doing it now so he can get hopefully rehab it quickly.

As a side note, notice they refer to diabetes as a 'disease'? I know it's probably just semantics, but to me a disease is something contagious... having been born with a medical condition that is frequently referred to as a disease, it always bothered me.

IIRC Betts kicked a couple of goals when the game was done & dusted. From memory I thought Harbrow acquitted himself well in the role.

Anyway I am not asking Harbrow to play on Betts who is Carlton's best forward... I want him to play on the less dangerous Garlett.

I guess AndrewP6, that its just in terms of a "condition" they refer to. They always class conditions like MS and other auto immune conditions as diseases as well. I guess something that you arent born with but the body "gets" later on is classed as a disease that "hinders" your life in some way.

Yeah, probably just me being fussy!

I seem to remember thinking Harbrow as a BP was an experiment gone wrong (had to hand it to Eade a few weeks later when it became clear it was working) but I can't find anything to support that on here - what I did find were notes from you on the game mentioning he was one of our better players in the 3rd qtr (we stunk that day)

And agree on Harbrow on Garlett, would be a good match up.

Re: Ins & Outs - R15

Minson was on triple M last night said he is okay to play, also mentioned the peoples beard, discussed his poisoning and other quite funny topics.

As I said, I'm a fan, but two weeks ago was two weeks ago. There were some plays against Hawthorn - Season is on the line now and all options are on the table. Against a fast, smaller side have to think of different options.
