Not just him. Everyone.This.
Get him playing hard defensively early.

except he might be there when we win get into a GF, something swallow never got close to. in anycase, Anderson perhaps is getting fit at the right time and for once in his career having the right type of players around him. Of course if swallow is in his prime with the like of simpkin, ldu, thomas, bailey and 2 top 10 picks even if the other 6 are above average players and not elite, this would still be a rather formidale group.You can’t seriously think Anderson is a superior version of Andrew Swallow- a 3 time best and fairest winner! There is zero chance that Anderson will ever go close to winning a best and fairest let alone 3!
sure, if a veiw point does fit your narrative sure, no clue.....hmmmm 25 point loss isn't exactly pushing by any stretch.The same Swallow as Captain who pushed West Coast over there in a PF to nearly make the Grand Final in 2015?
You literally don't have a clue.
Only extraordinary players have all those talents. You’re talking a Voss type player.His ball use is an issue for mine. He’s one that needs to clearly understand his limitations. His contested stuff, tackling, pressure is excellent, just let down by his disposal.
Think there is some middle ground between jed and Voss...Only extraordinary players have all those talents. You’re talking a Voss type player.
Lost ya half way through the first paragraph. I would take Swallow in his prime over Jed every day of the week. 3 B&Fs and captain. Sure, always in a mediocre side but the current captain has never come close to B&F, and the other 2x B&F midfielder we have has never been a leader. Jed ain’t in either raceexcept he might be there when we win get into a GF, something swallow never got close to. in anycase, Anderson perhaps is getting fit at the right time and for once in his career having the right type of players around him.

Anderson is superior in that his ability to complement the others would be far more effective than swallow because back in the good old days, Swallow started off with Simpson and Harris, very similar players. Then Swallow had ziebell, cunnington, gibson, greenwood, jacobs for company, very similar profile so his ability to complement others will never be close to what anderson could bring due to the others around him.
Of course, even now, the club is still looking to ziebell and cunnington as the center pieces and until we pull our head out, im afraid the middling performance will continue.
This pops into my head every time I see him play. Or a pic with his kids.Severely underrated by a lot of our fans. Get him to 100 games for us so my kids can see his kids break people
This is a very clever post Val Keating .....actually hadn’t thought that might be the reason. Good assessmentIt won’t be.
I’m not trying to get into what’s going on in Shaw’s head but sending Polec to play a defensive role on the oppos best player is a statement. The standards have changed. No more front running
They are used to Cripps being treated differently to others. It’s the Judd-effect.fu** the Carlton natives are restless over Jed smothering Cripps.
But complete silence when you Curnow is mentioned.
These are the same flogs that were boo'ing everyone and everything all day.fu** the Carlton natives are restless over Jed smothering Cripps.

Yeah no contest. Swallow put us on his back numerous times. His skills were miles ahead if Jed.Lost ya half way through the first paragraph.

I wouldn't go that far, but he was all over Jed for burst pace from congestion prior to doing his Achilles.Yeah no contest. Swallow put us on his back numerous times. His skills were miles ahead if Jed.
Swallow's kicking in the last two or three years was truly atrocious but then again so is Jed's. Swallow was a clearance beast with great hands.Yeah no contest. Swallow put us on his back numerous times. His skills were miles ahead if Jed.

Cripps is not a fan of our taggers.Turned Cripps into a big pussy cat.
One of the Carlton spuds is complaining about the treatment of Cripps and it makes me feel like we won.Cripps is not a fan of our taggers.
Jacobs did a number on him. Lived rent free inside Cripps head.
