Not blessed with height, speed or athleticism like his brother but definitely gave his all every time he played.
Every team needs role players like him.


Hmm, athleticism.... he did win the time trial at Carlton for several years, but he is shadowed by his little brother somewhat.

He had endurance for sure but by athleticism I mean more of jumping than running here.

Bit of me time for the plodder.


Ease up 'champ'

Not very nice potting blokes on opposition pages.

The bloke's played 200 + games and given everything he has and more.

Alternately, I'm happy to visit the Port page and start potting blokes if you like? Actually, no, I won't stoop that low.


Sorry mate, now back to the discussion about how he lacks athletic ability.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

We’ve tried:
-Multiple coaches
-Changed board and directors several times
-Changed our list manager
-Moved on our list cloggers several times
-Recruited heavily from other clubs(GWS mainly)
-Seen multiple number 1 draft picks not reach their potential
-Had several game plans under several coaches that don’t work

Where to next?


I think stick with it Amber! Some of these posts are gold, especially from non Carlton people.

Go Blues!

He reminds me of Darren Smith from the Port Magpies in the 80’s and 90’s.
Everyone shit cans him but he’s so important to the setup and structure of the team.
