Still see Gibbons as a starting 22
Circular coming from you? Hahaha
Gibbons will be best 22 round 1. Never compared him to any other player
It's not hard Harker, put up or back out
One of us has had too much to drink tonight.
I have no idea what you're on about.
I'll take it as a 'no' to my offer and move on.

longthinwoodenmissile, any idea how many times you have arrived at this exact same place after becoming enmeshed with this poster?Haha
Just like we will lose best 22 because they cant play in their preferred position? Or how do we fit all these mids in?
Challenged again and you backtrack once more
Pathetic
I'm very happy with our trade period, but I really think we missed a trick with stephenson. He is a gun, will light it up next year. The kid had glandular fever no wonder he was half ****ed all yearI wish I shared your optimism for Fogarty as a small forward. Just don't see it. There has got to be more to the role than just the ability to apply forward pressure.
On another note, after having had some time to reflect on our trading, think Jayden Stephenson would have fitted in well as a hf with his pace. Would have preferred we had taken his salary dump and traded out a second rounder and a future third.
Not sure if throwing Kemp into the backline to start is the right move however, you have Willo and Newman on the bench for flexibility should it fall over. Maybe one of them will suffice and be even more flexible by having Jack S or Kennedy on the bench.Will start ahead of Marchbank and SPS off HB
Plowman Weitering Doc
Kemp Jones Saad
Walsh Cripps Newnes
TDK Williams Setterfield
Martin Levi SPS
Fisher McKay, Fogarty
Gibbons Murphy Willo Newman
The Rest: Betts, Jack, LOB Dow Cuners, Marchbank, Gov, Honey, Ramsay, Philp, Stocker, Cottrell, Kennedy, Pittonet
Injured: Charlie
The above was the offer clear as day, Fogarty V Gibbons.Fact?.....or fiction?
Bet you 100 that if it's down to one, that Fogarty goes first.
Above you agreed to the bet Harker offeredNot questioning Fogarty
But Gibbons will start round 1 if fit, so will take that bet
Good. Let's be clear now.
No injury intervention...just purely one vs the other. We're on.
Happy to do the same with Newnes & Newman, but let me put up the opponent first.
It really doesn't matter for our games though.....much sooner the win than the money
No, not Gibbons v Fogarty
Gibbons will start round 1, fitness permitting
Coincidentally, I’ve been watching a fair bit of ‘95 Carlton footy in recent times. The formula was simple, Richmond style, force it middle through the corridor and use the clean hands and/or leg speed of Williams, Brown, Kouto, Ratta, Bradles, Bond, Whitehead, Hanna, Christou and clear space for Sticks, Earl and Pearce. Then get bodies to the feet of the keys and capitalise.Saad and Williams coming in change the dynamics of what is possible between the arcs.... all of a sudden we have leg speed on either side of HBF as well as leg speed in Williams between the arcs - my guess is Cripps will able to do more dishing out to Williams/Walsh on the burst or Williams Martin or Williams / Dow on the burst...the in and under type will become much more useful with some outside run as recievers ...
with that said, a premium will be placed on kicking ability - from the little I've seen of Kemp he adds a tall big body who can actually kick and run - depending on fitness levels he starts with I can see him in the midfield mix - because he can kick and also rotate through forward. Then we also have (hopefully) a ready Stocker to add to mix - who can kick off both sides with penetration and adds some mongrel in tackling...
I dont see Setterfield as having locked in a starting on ball role if we are ( and we will ) play both Ed and Murph as midfielders - Teague is going to want to cover for their kicking weaknesses with alternatives if he wants to improve i50 entries next year and Stterfield is not the best field kick going around anyway...
We shouldn't be wasting McGovern/Harry/Charlie by having weak entries bombed in on to waiting double up defenders...and we should be able to spread any defensive structure with the running power of Cuningham/Fisher/Martin in forward lines...
I think 2020 will see the introduction of corridor football for Carlton - when this was played last year we were pretty much unstoppable eg Geelong game. I also think Carlton will play a very fast brand of football.
Probably a long winded way of saying that blokes who can either cover ground with leg speed or make ground with accurate long kicking will feature more...I see Kemp as one of the classy types who will play ssooner rather than later - fitness allowing - wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't start as a forward if Charlie is not ready.
I agree we are well covered in defensive structure - we need to fit Marchbank in if he is ready - and I see Williamson as a wing option going forward he too can kick.
Was thinkingif we package picks 38 and 48 we should trade for a mid 20s pick. Really want to have a bite at Bailey Laurie. Looking at his highlights it seems as if he is already a better inside fifty kick than most senior Carlton players.
All Arrow said was Gibbons will play. That’s it, bottom line. No dog in the fight but, it’s not ambiguous.More circular games. It's not hard Arrow.
Take my offer or leave it.
Not true, read my post aboveAll Arrow said was Gibbons will play. That’s it, bottom line. No dog in the fight but, it’s not ambiguous.
Might work for a club picking in the 25-30 range if they need a quick points gain.
I doubt we’d do it before draft night and I think we’d probably only do it on draft night for a particular prospect.

Sometimes we let the love we have for current players and wanting to see them succeed overshadow. what may actually happen. Because I don't know if you guys have actually watched a full game from fogarty or not, but unfortunately as much as I love them fisher and gibbons will 100% have their spot under threat with this kid. He's fast tackles more and can kick more goals. Should have been a top 5 pick in his draft year.Fact?.....or fiction?
Bet you 100 that if it's down to one, that Fogarty goes first.
I want him to develope as a mid not a half back have enough of thoseOn Kemp, I’d be glad to see him get through a season of VFL unscathed. Let him dominate off a half back flank with a focus on finding as much footy as possible. Slowly moving into midfield minutes as the year progresses.
Was never recruited for 2021. Between Saad, Doc, Williamson, Newman and Marchy we’ll have enough rebound next year. I’d also trust all 5 defensively over Kemp at this stage. Definitely no rush for mine.
Read it and don’t agree, all he said was Gibbons will start.
But they will play the exact same role?I'm not sure where HARKER got Arr0w saying it'll come down to Fogarty Vs Gibbons.
Arr0w didn't question Fogarty's selection, if it eventuates.
He just stated that Gibbons would be selected, if healthy.
The only way Arr0w loses a bet is if Gibbons isn't selected and Fogarty is.
If both are selected then Arr0w is right in what he said - Gibbons was selected.
I can see a clear path where both are selected and for very different roles.
What have you got against Gibbo?
He's missed one game in 2 years since he started, and that was through injury, but you've already written him off for the season opener?
edit: 4 games through injury

“Bet you 100 that if it's down to one, that Fogarty goes first.”
That Fogarty may get a round 1 gig over Gibbons was the question...
Acceptance would be for the above scenario, otherwise no bet & the b/s ramble about back tracking etc.
