Carlton Season 2012

[CoverKing]

I said it at the start of the year, is Kreuzer the most over rated big man in the game at present? shows so much promise but is yet to deliver consistently at all

Just behind Vickery.

Didn't realise people rated Vickery mate besides myself

I'm still not convinced he's our no1 ruckman just yet.

I'd like to see them settle him as our FF or CHF and give us something to crumb to. What infuriates me is that we tend to kick one on two or one on three to Betts who then has to crumb his own ball. Why are our KPP running dummy leads, or why arent' we kicking it to them and demanding our little blokes crumb to them?

Oh, and nothing toward your comment CoverKing, but I'm a bit tired of comments about Jacobs not being able to get a game at Carlton and "not wanted" by Carlton. What a joke.

Listened to SEN this morning, Carlton are getting an absolute barrage of abuse in Melbourne.
About an hour of angry callers with the Kangas not far behind in copping a spray.
Most of the heat seems to be aimed at Jordan Russell, is he really that bad or just a scapegoat?
Robert Walls was scathing on Kreuzer and Gibbs

isnt it great to see those victorians having a big sook hehehehe

Just as funny as the band wagon front runners that hail from west lakes. All of a sudden heaps of crows 'supporters' around the place. Funny bout that.

In regards to kreuzer will reserve judgement for a couple of years. Has missed effectively 2 years of top level football due to his knee.

Fair post mate.

I actually think Warnock is the best ruckman out the lot of them. Kruezer up forward would be more beneficial IMO. He has the height and agility to make it bloody hard to man up. Would straighten you up a fair bit as well!

Reckon big 206 would be getting a game this weekend if he wasn't injured

[CoverKing]

No doubt. Pity you didn't want Jacobs

[Jim05]

Scans have confirmed Marc Murphy has a fractured shoulder and will miss 4-6 weeks

[CoverKing]

Out to Atleast round 14. Depending on how the operation goes!

Not great nor bad news I wouldn't have thought.

Great news for supercoachers who haven't got him. His value is at A near all time low!

That's like saying pity you're a Richmond supporter

Hence why I said on another thread they are no longer part of the Melbourne big 4 as it is a big 3. Enough of the pussy cats.

Bottom line Is that we are playing soft football. Ironic that we come up against Melbourne. Talk in Melbourne is that we may play a couple of youngsters. Bootsma, Buckley, Watson and Dale are being mentioned. Last shot for McLean I reckon. Seriously wouldn't drop too many players. Just need some positional tweaks and game plan adjustments. Lose this and the following
Week against port and be prepared for the sack ratten brigade to fire up. To be honest he may be in trouble if the results don't improve by seasons end.

yeah we are playing very average football m8.... why we recruited mclean i dont know cant make the seniors on a regular basis only seems to get a game when we have no choice....as to ratts loved him as a player but is way too predictable in his game plans imho....lets things go on way to long before he makes moves aswell....i know the crows are flying but no way in hell are they a 69 point better side than us no way....we havent played any good footy since the pies game and we only played a pies side that was struggling aswell with injuries....just hope we can turn the corner but i cant see it with our injuries now as i have said before our best 22 is a real threat but 1 or 2 injuries and we fall away big time....

Yeah depth is an issue. Really should be 7 and 3 after the next 2 weeks. That isn't too bad. It's a long season. Let people write us off. We'll be back. Just need to put in the hard yards

[howzat]

hey turbo we should beat melbourne pretty easy m8 (i hope lol) but port i dunno they will be on a 2 game streak after this week and will have their tales up if we do beat port it wont be easy thats for sure....we just need to get back to the basics and some of the players need to play with a bit of ticker not just the fat pay packets....

Didnt read the earlier post from Gadj I'm assuming? Called sarcasm

[Booney]

Didn't Jacobs want to come home and Carlton would have potentially got nothing for him if they didnt trade? Nice try.

He was 3rd/4th in line at Carlton wasnt he? See Giles with GWS, you never know how the big blokes are going to turn out.... some need to change clubs to get a go, also note Jenkins but yes I think he wanted to come home also.
