I finally have to say something and not before time.

..... looked pretty good out there mate. Just stay out of the forward 50 :eek:, keep putting your head over the ball, use your size and strength and the General will have some ammunition for years to come. :thumbsu:;)

Exactly. Provided a good target leading out, and if he can continue the steady improvement he's shown over the last few weeks, he's on his way to cementing a place in the side.

For people to bag him after a performance like today just shows they are sheep following the general consensus, with no ability to think for themselves.

Was he good today,didn't get a game covered here to see it,how come all these guys at Carlton are bagging him. I know he hasn't been a great recruit,but if he played good,those people bagging him, seem to me they don't like him because he wanted out a couple of years ago and they think he really wants out and perform each week for a Adelaide side.

He got a lot of it but unfortunately didn't do anything with it, I guess getting the ball in the first place is an improvement

He did something really impressive though, I can't remember what it was but I remember being impressed! :D

spot on mate people are judging russell every week sure he'll have a bad game but if u know ur footy he was hard at it today and easily in our best 5
 
He had something like 9 tackles :O

I can only base his performance based on the radio and "game day live", but his Dream Team score was almost twice as good as his SuperCoach score, indicating perhaps that he wasn't using the ball very well today?

Still, it's baby steps. He's finding the ball, laying tackles, if he can start using it well he hsould become a handy player hopefully

I think ur being a bit harsh, he did a few good things today, his tackling was great, he presented and actually flew and sort of backed into a pack to spoil a ball which Ithought was real impressive, (which is what i think ur trying to remember). Yes he did stuff up a couple of times but so did most of the team. I agree with some of the posts in that he is improving week in week out.

He was a wayward early and I think most of his 5 clangers were in that quarter, but that's 5 out of 16 possessions, so he was effective - moreso than plenty of others.

Nice thread. I'm glad people are starting to get behind our newer up and coming players who are showing steady signs of improvement. :thumbsu: Such a relief from the usual ill-informed, unintelligent, vindictive witch hunts against JR that do absolutely nothing other than display single-minded stupidity thrown up under the security blanket of anonymity. :thumbsdown:

Yep I think that's the one!

He did improve, like I said this is probably the first week he's had his hands on it. Possibly keep him away from the goals though :eek:

Halfway through the third quarter, 3 points up, JR has a set shot at goal from about 20 metres, kicks into the man on the mark, ball goes out of bounds. Crows get it at the stoppage, take it the length of the field ad take the lead, then kick 2 more in about 2-3 minutes. We were never to lead again.

Its his 4th season, Steven Browne had more of a positive impact on todays game than JR has had in any game he has played. Sick of people always finding some positives in what he delivers, fact is he should be firmly established as a player by now and he isnt.

If he got selcted in the 3rd round, not at pick 9, then he would have ben delisted 2 years ago.

shhh you'll hurt the General's feelings and he'll put you on the ignore list:p

While he did a few good things the bad still very much heavily out weighed the good...

Mate, if Bentick had the skills and body of JR he would be a superstar. He is such a waste of talent, and of a decent draft pick!!!
 
Have been NOT been a fan of Russell at all BUT, though he did improve today
and although his kicking was a disgrace I don't think the way to improve it is to ban him from kicking period. Maybe though in a tight game as it was, he might want to use the handball more and leave his kicking practice for games we are more dominant in.

A lot of players in the side have been bad kicks for a long time. Confidence
is the only way to improve that mostly. Bad kicking was also performed today by Murphy, Gibbs, Carazzo etc.
