Whats up with this guy?

He was starring for the pies early on in the season and kicked a couple of bags of 5 goals. Now he has gone amiss.

Is he injured or is it delievery or maybe is it becuase he is having to play on better quality backmen with your depleted forward structure....

Just interested in your thoughts.

PS Expect a towelling on the weekend! Go Rooboys :)

carrying an injury of some sort, im not sure what, but if we didnt play him our forward line would be totally cactus....all though last 2 weeks we have had 1% output anyway and it could be fairly argued Andrew Williams would have done exactly the same, but at least he would be 100% fit!

delivery coming into the forward line isnt too crash hot either, plus the fact we have at times relied on him to be our number 1 target, which is unfair to lump on a bloke of his stature on the field

im quietly confident that we can beat the Roos...but then again i dont really give a stuff any more, and a loss would only provoke a response of "meh" from me

Carrots shouldn't have played the last 2 weeks in hindsight. He hasn't had much gametime so his injury should of had some sort of recovery from it.
I do give a stuff about Collingwood games just because of the joy of victory and the thrill of seeing a game live. There are always things to take out of a game including seeing how younger players perform.

But Caracella doesn't play at FF or haven't you noticed?

Oh, I get it now, you think we care what you think.

No no no silly little boy

You are right, I can see Sav prowling the Kangaroo's goal square for the next decade atleast.

Considering that Geelong would mortgage Skilled Stadium to get Chris Tarrant, and that Collingwood are considering trading Tarrant away to fill a need because he's almost redundant to us, it shows a distinct difference in who would want Sav Rocca.

And you say we need Sav because Tarrant, Caracella and Didak are all crap... Meanwhile, all 3 of them are out injured. If they were in, we wouldn't have the crap forward line we have now.

Oh, and general rules of grammar state that you don't capitalise ever word you type, you immeasurably idiotic fool.

Caracella is a nice finisher. In a soft, slow, poorly skilled list at least he only has 2 of those weaknesses. When we start recruiting players with none of them we might start getting somewhere. When we start insisting on accountability from the coach, football department and board we might be a chance to start recruiting what we need.

the missing head said:
Tarrant Avg 1.9 goals a game
Kingsley Avg 2.1 goals a game
verdict: Tarrent is not a FF as much as Kingsley is not a FF
The difference is that Tarrant is actually at his best leading long and delivering the ball into the forward line (see: AA year in 2003) whereas Kingsley is often forced into doing that because he can't cut it as a full forward, and doesn't do it really well.

And what does not being a full forward have to do with Geelong not pursuing him? When looking for a full forward last year Geelong went and got Brad Ottens, and then proceeded to play him in the ruck and have the same structural problems as last year.

I just think you are kidding yourself if you think clubs are going to chase Tarrant, maybe T Cloke would get chased though...
I think you're kidding yourself if you think geelong wouldnt love to have him.

No not really. What i would love is to see him come back next year injury free, and show us some of that all australian form.

Great player, huge talent, small and soft heart. He is knackers proof and i think his only problem is a soft heart. Its a real shame, too much time around Tarrant and Cam Cloke, its rubbing off on him. Worst place for a soft footballer to be, its like a resort at collingwood where you get paid to live in luxury and you arnt expected to do anything, he just has the deck chair out, sipping martini's next to taz, trying to catch some rays.
