Carlton vs Adelaide

[RiCHii]

Imo you underrate the talent of our younger guys coming up. Not to say we will win but...time will tell.

Vince to kick three goals with 25 possessions.

Well which ever way you see it. You think im under-rating your "talent" and i quote because i dont think its talent your young kids have but more so the lack of. The only players on your list who are young and i rate are Porplyzia, Knights and Tippet.

* Ps. Don't know what thread you are reading on the Adelaide board re Gibbs/Mackay

Not quite sure what the thread is actually called, might be "Trade for Gibbs" something like that.

 

[Cruiser23]

Has Gibbs trained this week? He won't be a late out this week will he?

 

[Silvagnis]

How young are the Blues when Walker and Hampson would be close to being in our best 22?

The scary thing is we could get even younger if Edwards or Austin get a game.

McKary went to my school, and I can safely say that he is no good

he was always a better basketballer than he was footballer

to compare him with gibbs is absolute codswallop!

we all know this. Mckay has done nothing wrong. Nothing special but nothing bad either. decent disposal

 

[CrowHop]

Why do i keep looking at this thread.

In the hope that someone posts something constructive.

Same with the thread on our board, it's just full of cr@p without any real interesting in depth analysis other than 'Jordan Russel is better than David Mackay' or similar.

 

[CrowHop]

Pretty much spot on.

Good footballer, looking ok. Only has 5 games under his belt but is looking ok so far for one so inexperienced. Decent disposal too. He's in the team this week, so people can judge for themselves.

 

[Gouldy]

Thought it would've been clearer in black and white.

Our defence roflwtfxorpwns your defence

Our midfield whilst not as good attackingly will completely shut your midfield down (Judd will feel the wrath of Chopper Doughty)

Our Forward line will not roflwtfxorpwn but probably adequately pwn your forward line because you're playing one of (if not) the best backline in the competition.

Fevola could kick 10 and I'd honestly still be confident of victory.

Discipline, foot skills and big bodies will be Carltons downfall this week.

God has spoken

you sure about that mate?

HEIGHT (As at March 20, 2008)
* 184cm and under: (13)
* 185-190cm: (14)
* 191-199cm: (13)
* 200cm+: (4)
Carlton is one of five clubs to boast the tallest groups in the competition, averaging 189cm. The Blues have a fine cross-section of height on their list which, if kept together, will help their chances at flag glory in coming seasons.

You mean people don't agree with your distorted opinion. lol.

I agree with Rave Slave. To me big bodies and height are different thing. Adelaide's tall players are a bit more seasoned and bigger than ours. They seem a bit older and stronger all over the board and will have an advantage, especially if it is wet.

Has anyone actually compared him with Mackay?? (not McKary BTW - perhaps you have your players confused??)

Gibbs was a first round pick.... Mackay wasn't. Chalk and cheese surely?

As for people on our boards saying it's a straight swap (and that clearly is a thread I haven't ventured into for obvious reasons)... they are dreaming. Gibbs is clearly happy at the Blues... and why wouldn't he be at the moment. All happening there for him. Good luck to him. Won't be the first great South Aussie ever played for the mighty Blues!

And the potential pick of the bunch never got a real run at it.

As did I...haha

Can't wait to see the boys run out Saturday. Hope Browney has a blinder, as does Hartlett, as well as the regulars Fev, Judd, Stevo, Murph, Jamo, Waite (the list goes on)

If we get up we'll deserve it, as the Crows are a quality outifit and will make us fight for it.

Blues by 19pts

 

[Nic_14]

It'll be bloody tough for us.

Still no proper half forward, but hopefully Hartlett has a killer game and we can pull it off this week

Fevs to bag 5
Carrazzo, Judd and Murphy to star out
Let's see a big game from Kreuzer and Browne

Carna Blues!!!!!

It actually has over 700. The rest seem to be taking a while to get to Adelaide. Like everything else.
