I know Parish wasn’t great, but Merretts disposal was worse.

Absolutely, Merrett had a shocker, but, he is still our best kick.
Parish is an ongoing offender, and last week when he missed players from both teams by a mile and kicked it straight to the boundary line, from 20 - 30 metres, was the final straw.
Old school. Parish and Merrett to change in the forward pocket. Durham and Tsatas to change on the forward flank. McKay to stay forward. Gresham to stay home. Huss in.

Probably the best backline named all year (difference vs Demons Redman in for McGrath but he was tagging pickett from memory).
Parish was BOG the week before, I think he will get another game before being dropped

Maybe Farrow now

You reckon?
He’s had a couple of gettable kicks at goal, missing both badly. His field kicking hasn’t overly excited me either.
I’m not judging as he is only very young, but, I’m not getting caught up in the post draft hype either.

Goal kicking is a different game entirely. was more talking field kick.
i would scratch the eagles game, (given conditions) McCarthy was excellent
But against tigers he was at 94% efficiency

Anyone that mentions Jones coming in should be instantly banned.

If you’re including goal kicking, how can you suggest a bloke with a career accuracy rate of 38% as our best kick?

He’s gonna leave anyway. May as well break him before he gets to Brisbane
Going to be a great double header on Sunday.

Without doubt the most rubbish Grand Prix on the calendar, like the Trots at the Showgrounds, jump to the lead stack em up & win. Boring.

Qualifying is probably the most exciting part of the weekend but as someone who’s spent a lot of time in that part of the world, I do really enjoy Monaco GP

I’ve heard Ridley might be back.

Seriously - win this game and lose every other game for the year. Would be amazing to burst Carltons bubble currently and we all deserve to have some joy in our lives.

The Carlton supporters in my office have been absolutely insufferable since Voss was sacked. They’re already rubbing their hands together at the prospect of giving us a hiding on Sunday night.
If there was ever a game to steal against the odds, this is it. For me, a win would almost make up for the humiliation I’ve endured as a Bomber fan over the past 12 months.
