Yes and I would also add that so-called role players who aren’t necessarily the biggest names can really make a difference eg Hewett, Acres and now Elijah. All came in cheap because they weren’t considered a big name talent and most clubs didn’t want them but they were perfect for us and they...

Second half of last season was also pretty bad but the boys played amazingly well that we forget we played without Walsh, Harry and Cerra etc Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Looking at the replay Taylor is the textbook example of reckless behavior which could have injured his opponents head - he could have easily avoided the clash of heads there and Steele was always going to be ahead of him and control of the ball Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

He brings a unique skill set that others can’t bring - will be a big loss and hopefully others can try to apply elite pressure in the forward 50 but won’t be the same and now makes it much harder for us to win the tough games which start next week for like six consecutive weeks Sent from my...

Early days still but lots of positives based on our first four games versus the rest of the competition: Carlton Differentials: Disposals: #5, Inside 50s: #4 Territory: #4, Intercepts: #1 Contested: #5, Uncont: #6 Ground Ball: #14, Clearance: #17 Centre Bounce: #15, Stoppage: #17 Marks: #3...

Save face and maybe stop their mob from burning down the club or Jordan Clarks home Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

To be fair it’s also believable he called himself a F idiot considering he cost them the game by allowing Cottrell to mark the ball - and even if the umpires had called play on Cotts would have swung around and snapped a goal or handballed to Owies - either way Clark messed up But because...

Fogarty offered one week suspension but it was graded high contact I saw a slow mo video that showed he only made contact to the chest - despite many claiming he hit Fyfes neck - has anyone else seen that video and can post it? And does chest qualify as high contact too or would that change...

No - it was later 100% proven the ball wasn’t out and the video from the other angle was conclusive about that But yes umpires can make mistakes particularly ones which happen so fast and they don’t have the luxury of a replay or slow mo Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Now that it looks like the ball did in fact deflect of Aish it’s also important to remember that had the umpires called play on immediately that Cortrell would have still marked the ball and then handballed it to Owies who was running past him calling for the ball and who happened to be open...

One thing I missed was Cripps actually nominated for the ruck in that last ball up when Jackson had the brain fade - and TDK was right there but two steps closer to goal. I wonder if that tactic threw Jackson off because instead of tapping the ball straight down into congestion so the ball gets...

I can’t see the entire match pressure ratings but it seems that Freo applied elite pressure levels above 210 When you apply that much you’re probably winning 90+% of the time Likewise we aren’t going to have too many games this year when we have that much pressure applied to us - so instead...

But their pressure level has been elite and they’re working harder than us so it’s not just been flooding that’s been the difference We will need to step up now both in applying pressure and creating some space for more effective disposals Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

David King also tipped Voss to turn things around when we were fourth last (or whatever it was) last season when no one else did David King: “I think the biggest statement that will be made this weekend is Carlton, I think Carlton are going to flex against the Dockers & a flex doesn't...

He’s also had 14 score involvements this season which suggests he’s setting his teammates up - as he should be. There’s been games in the last 18 in which his tackles have led to at least 3 goals per game for us so he’s had real impact if not off his own boot. Sent from my iPhone using...

Our midfield has typically dominated Freo because Cripps has toyed with them in the past and been an absolute beast - perhaps growing up an Eagles fan he likes to get up for Freo more. But we may not have Cripps this time - so I don’t think we can be as dominant - fortunately Hewett and Cerra...

It’s going to be very tough. Apparently we have only beaten winless teams and Freo hasn’t lost yet. But Freo have also only beaten winless teams so maybe it evens out. Hopefully we do enough to impress Jonathan Brown. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

This was just posted on one of the Carlton fan Facebook groups: I want to tell a quick story which demonstrates how proud I am of our club, and the great person and leader Michael Voss is: My cousin is a 35 year member. Sadly he’s terminally ill and in palliative care. When I left the hospital...

Yep devastating Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Yep born in the 70s and growing up in the 80s I didn’t feel anything towards collingwood - I remember an older kid once telling a few of us in the playground that Collingwood had the most fans and I couldn’t understand why such a poor team had any supporters [emoji23] And then 1990 happened and...

You must be relieved she has never met Jordan De Goey at a party before I still remember when he was arrested here in NYC my collingwood friends were convinced he would never play for them again and yet he’s now a premiership player [emoji35] Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Pretty sure Thy lived through that period Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Yep seems from what people have posted there was more than just the injury doubts but he’s a kid and he’s been raised by two parents who reached the pinnacle in their sport so he will know what it takes and that’s no guarantee he will step up but I’m quietly confident he will and as others have...

On Simpson I looked at a few articles about who the next likely 10 players to get picked and Simpson isn’t mentioned at all. So are we overvaluing him on here? But we do seem linked to him in which case could we do a pick trade (eg a future third) and move down a little and grab him around pick...

“highly talented but lazy and soft” was probably also used for half our best 22 until they turned it around mid season and bought in to the team ethos and culture Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

That’s right - I totally forgot they will get used very early on - and it does seem Walter will be called out very early and they should soon have a good sense of how many points they need for the other two players too. A quick use of the draft picks calculator shows that the Suns 6 picks...
