Back when everyone was drinking Luke's bathwater I wrote this.
I am not proud to admit it, but I was wrong.
Confidence/working on slowing things down so his body can catch up to his brain was not his main issue. Slowing down has actually exacerbated the decision-making problems. His previous...
I've been watching Oscar Ryan's career closely for the past 10 years. Absolute gun. Future Brownlow Medallist. Absolute certainty for a Norm Smith if we get to the grand final with him as the captain.
Smart was a great, but not generational, player.
Dreaming if you think Smart is anywhere near Danger.
Even if you look at career average vs only time at crows --> Dangerfield is better.
If you take into account their post-Crows career --> Smart could be approaching a net negative valuation.
Controversial opinion: His main deficit is between the ears and he may never be a great player because of it.
Really hope he can build his confidence to hold onto the ball for a split second longer to select an appropriate target for each disposal... Lots to like, but his hard ball get followed...
I like Hollands, but wouldn't pick him if there is any doubt at all on his health.
Draft is a probability simulator. It's not appropriate to take on high risk for low reward in the first pick.
You pick stable (high probability) returns until the point where the risk of failure is comparable to...
I feel he's a potential bridge between old + young. Lots of our experienced players i feel might be in a bit of a boys club... dmac from all accounts is professional and hard working... but also approachable and less intimidating for the youngsters than some of the others. If hes minimum wage i...
Honestly, I'd prefer DMac mentoring youth that we think might actually make it, over moving him on for another guy we dont think will get there + less support for the ones we think might.
Obviously prefer his mentorship to be mainly off-field, plus a few games here and there to push the youth...
Okay, how about this (a joke trade):
First, we trade Pick 1 for 2 and 11. (Lol)
Then we trade pick 9, 11, 22, 23 and 40 for Essendon's picks 6,7,8.
Then we trade Pick 56 and 66 for Western Bulldogs pick 41 and a promise we don't bid with Pick 2 (hence giving us more points and saves them a few)...
I actually think Harto is better than Talia... And I don't rate Harto all that highly. Talia is nowhere near the player he was 3 years ago.
He'd be excellent trade bait for any club that isn't bottoming out. However, he is a required player for a bottom 4 team as he is needed to teach the kids...
It's a multi-organ inflammatory response syndrome. The DIC/ARDS/ischaemic injuries etc are bad, but the majority of the younger deaths are from arrythmia. All of them have a significant viral hepatitis, even many of the assymp patients; the higher the LFTs the more likely they are to develop...
Thought English Bulldogs were s**t dogs. Cruel breeding, fat, loser dogs. Style over substance and the style went out of date 40 years ago.
Then I dog-sat one of them for a few months; greatest dog of all time. Miss her dearly.
A Carlton poster thinks another club is gonna offer a 30 year old Casboult >600k/year on a 3 year deal and therefore get them back into draft contention.
Warning: Very controversial opinion ahead.
Hartigan to pinch hit in ruck while ROB has short stints on the bench.
He's fit as hell, we have surplas of tall backs to cover his player when he moves forward, he's tall and strong enough to bring the ball to ground without them getting it 100% of...
I am a RatKing doubter, but i think we need to take our s**t-coloured glasses off when you look back on this game. He actually did some quite good things. He evolved throughout the game and grew some testicles and actually did pretty good in the second half i think. Atkins taking a punch in the...
Because someone calling someone else a "bald-headed campaigner" should be lauded instead?
Green maggot/ump is a w***er/campaigner/others are all okay in my book. But calling someone bald is taking things a bit far.
Watched the game from up high in the members stand tonight. Some serious questions need to be asked of the coaching group in the first half in particular. So many issues, but the main one is simply the Cats had an additional player behind the ball completely free and blocking our attacks at...
Preface this by saying I don't know Sam, but one of the Port boys was talked to me about this a year ago. Apparently, he had a really bad rep around the club (Crows) and some of the players bitched and moaned to the Port boys about him. The suit has been in the pipeline for over a year and is...
I got a site wide ban from a carlton mod last year for commenting on the setterfield thread discussing whether he was in gws coke snorting video:
"Setters was a GWS academy player at the time and Sausage was his mentor during a stint he spent at the club; locker buds."
1 week ban. Then they...
