What else can we assess them on?
The season proper
So shut down discussion til after round 5 so everyone gets a fair run before being critiqued?
We applaud and heap likes upon the posters who declare their newfound confidence in Cuningham, or admit they were wrong about doubting Walsh's star quality. So why can't we show a little more respect for those who express some trepidation about their hoped-for improvement in other players?
There's nothing wrong with having high hopes and reassessing or adjusting expectations based on the preseason.
Nothing other than its a load of virtual hot air based on very limited intel. Why not just enjoy things instead and find positives is how I look at it.There's nothing wrong with having high hopes and reassessing or adjusting expectations based on the preseason.
No. You’ve changed original discussion. Now way off topic

I remember watching us losing endless practice matches and looking awful over the years. Round one when its for keeps they often go bang.
Hopefully this season is one of them.

Yep. What I don’t get is people rating a player then don’t after 1 or 2 pre season games.
Yep. If I put someone in the more negative sounding category it doesn't mean I don't rate them. Just means I haven't seen the expected improvement thus far this year. Of course its subject to change. Its no different to saying I think SPS has taken off. Anyway. My nominations, which are based on my expected improvement for 2019.Where is this 180 backflip you're talking about? The thread isn't "Who did you rate last year but now think they're shite" - it's about who has risen in your predictions and who hasn't improved as much as expected, due to form, fitness or role. You're welcome to reserve judgement, we all should, but it's a perfectly reasonable discussion to have, and doesn't equate to people "not rating players any more".
needs to keep an eye out for fev............
You and me, both.Robbo has been left numb by this post.
Second category I suppose.
Just feel like I’m having a good year. That’s all.For mine we continue to ignore the bleeding obvious.
CRIPPS.
Ffs the guy has improved AGAIN. We don’t talk about him anywhere near enough.
He’s the best player we’ve ever had. EVER. He’s better than Judd. He just is. In my view he’s the best player in the game.
He will kick more than 20 goals this year and still top the contested ball count. He will win the AFLPA MVP and the Brownlow.
He stood next to the ‘big bodied mid’ Pendles and made him look like a grade 2 kid on Monday. Yet he’s lost 4kg in order to improve his speed. It’s worked. How well is he moving??
It’s good to be excited about the kids. Walsh is a legend.
Let’s give the King his due credit.
And yes I’m talking to myself (or rather at myself). I’ve banged on about Walsh all summer. Time I balanced that up a bit.
Oh btw. Walsh is the second best Carlton player ever. Just saying.
Have a nice night.
I love your enthusiasm however, He isn't the best ever. Long way to go.For mine we continue to ignore the bleeding obvious.
