I feel that when we get back most of our list healthy and available that we will have a surplus of players
that can get the job done and keep us in the top 4.
It would be good management IMO to rotate and rest players such as Crippa, Charlie, Newy, Blacres.......
Whoever may need it.
The last 6 weeks has shown we will have the depth to do this with players like Carroll, Young, Durds, Orazio and now Cowan etc.
getting the job done.
It will be a long and taxing season , to be in the best possible shape to play finals this could be a policy I think we should adopt.
To have our best possible 22 as fresh as possible come September, last year by the time we got to 1/4 time at the Gabba we were cooked.
Winning a home qualifying final and having a week off would be great as well.
Am I getting ahead of myself?

He's got to back his players. Even if he looks like a dick in the process.‘It’s hard being Toby’

Especially seeing he has been with us when we were crap, stick fat and helped lead the turn around in the team. Could have chased some big $$ in WA but is committed to blue success. I’ll have more than a few few (happy) tears in my eyes if he can lift the cup.

And it’s a long trip down the ladder to get their spot. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch. Except Bombers. And Pies.

I think he is starting to get confident in the defensive side of his game and is adding a bit more offence especially around fwd half stoppage could have had 4 goals this week.

3 bottom teams in the last 5 rounds would help with that. North Hawthorn eagles with port, pies and saints in between them.I feel that when we get back most of our list healthy and available that we will have a surplus of players

Almost exactly what Harry said about playing on Ben many years ago, though he said 8 before reassessing at the half. Set the standards higher Tommy!Also said when asked how many he’d kick on Sam, “kick 6 then reassess at half time”
Harry and Ben are hilarious. I love their podcast.

Ruthless teams need to be picky Agro...agree it was his bread and butter. In a closer game, we' be going nuts at himIn particular Durdin’s - don’t want to be to picky because he played well - but that running shot to goal is “bread and butter” for any small forward
For those old buggers who can remember, I believe we were also robbed of the 1982 Norm Smith
How Maurice Rioli was awarded the Norm Smith Medal for a third quarter cameo over Wayne Johnston’s 4 quarter effort I’ll never know.

Well the excitement has died down. I've watched the replay with Sinjin Jnr (2nd half twice) and had a wonderful day with Sinjin Snr.
Now my fellow Blue BF'ers do you know what is more impressive than the Cripps and Walsh demolition job?? More impressive than the twin towers?? More impressive than Pitto's brute strength??
Ive broken the curse!! I came into our delightful preview thread, I said "heck it, Carlton will win" I duly changed my tip and bang its done!! Mods, got no idea on how to reference it but it is there!!
I am free of that dreaded possession of pessimism, Arr0w will never have to put up with my endless list of why we cant win again.
Also, might have been said but from watching live I had Kennedy in the top 5. He was ******* brilliant. Any person that says he is not in our best 22 (looking at you main stream media) needs their head read.

My one concern this season is that he's eliminated his usual early shot for goal going OOTF. Because after that attempt last season he'd go on full blown beast mode for the rest of the game (it was like his starting trigger).
I suspect Diesel has been a factor in this regard. Cripps is a 195cm tall version of Diesel. Diesel had no speed like Cripps but used his strengths to aplomb and his footy IQ to get his damaging 30+ week in week out.
See that's what I find odd. The modern game tends to become what the reigning premiers have concocted and adapted. Why can't a team just use their strengths and develop a game plan to suit it and compete. The follow the leader mentality of the AFL is one thing I always scratch my head over.
