As for his last quarter 6 possies to McLeods 2, the game was over.

if the game was over then why didnt cj take it easy???

i'd say eddy and gardiner are more vulnerable than cj.
but dropping charlie would effect forward structure, which seems to be working a bit better. it's a hard one.

Gardiner was terrible on Sunday. At least 3 times we had a quick chain of attacking possessions and he ended up with it 50-60m out and he just froze. When he eventually decided to get rid of it he'd either kick it sideways or turn it over trying to go forwards. Gardiner is a pretty good athlete and a strong overhead mark, but the guy has absolutely no footy brain.
A forward line of Roo, Kosi, Gwilt, Milne, Schneider and X is quite enough.

then ball and x in for eddy and gardiner? i guess there's always the option of throwing raph forward (or bj for a stint).
I'm currently watching CJ in the Crows game (sad perhaps I know ) but the kid has GUTS! He's fast thinking and inventive! An absolute necessity during the finals IMHO.
I'm watching this game and trying to keep things in perspective...but by god have we got some promising youth in the side! Birrs, Gram, Jones.....and suddenly Raph Clarke is shining through, Milne on fire, Goddard looking magnificent! I'm telling you, if it was as simple as giving my left nut to see this side win a Premiership this season, or for Harvs, I'd give em both! For godsakes....if we show some passion and some fire we CAN DO THIS!
When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!
