Carlton vs Essendon individuals

[Ben the Gooner]

They needed Judd not so much for the on-field stuff, but just to tell themselves as much as anyone else that they are actually a serious football club. Melbourne need a spark like that at the moment. Trade pick 2 for any top line midfielder they can get their hands on.

I don't have him displacing anyone else i've put in defence, so he's thrust forward.

Yarran is a shit defender, dump him and throw Walker back

 

[Essendonia]

Would rather Yarran for leg-speed, I think. More about re-bound than defending. I'm not sure I'm convinced Walker can actually defend anyway, as much as Gibbs, Bartel, Mitchell or any other mid sitting back there, as Heppell did for us.

I suggested that elsewhere and got howled down upon. They gave up pick 11 for Mitch Clark. Despite injuries he has been a dominant player for them. Just need more top line mids to help out Nathan Jones and, um, Nathan Jones.

They would be a little better if Jones wasn't there no. 1 midfielder, release everyone else down a spot.

Anyways, back to Carlton, the Judd for Kennedy deal a win/win all these years later? Imagine Carlton with a Fev/Kennedy forward line, but no Judd?

 

[RearNaked]

i dont like seeing our players lining up next to that shit

You have Dempsey rebounding. Walker is a very good rebounder. Yarran is a shit defender, possibly the most overrated player in the AFL

Walker is a good defender. Usually beats his opponents

Nope, clear win to WC. Judd won't win a flag at Carlton and if WC do it right, Kennedy is every chance of doing that out West

 

[sup3rfish]

for me:

Fletcher- Carlisle- Tuohy
Dempsey- Henderson- Goddard
Simpson- Murphy- Stanton
Gibbs- Hurley- Zaharakis
Betts- Ryder- Garlett

Bellchambers- Judd- Watson

Unlucky:
Kruezer, Walker, Robinson, Yarran, Waite, Carrazzo
Our whole list....

Walker is a very competent defender and forward.

It took Carlton 6 years to work out that he is not a midfielder !

Perhaps I need to watch more of Walker.

LOL NAH!

More like six years to get a decent run with injury but, yes, he looks even better at either end of the ground.

He'd easily make any hybrid side based on versatility alone. I'd also prefer him to Winderlich as a forward.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

sorry, but in what universe is Chris yarran a backup to winderlich?

If you pick Winderlich over Yarran, the word is biased, BIAS ED

Notice the contrast between that hard run from Winderlich and pitiful effort from Yarran that lost Carlton the game? The prosecution rests.

 

[Zach Package]

Mark Baugley > Carlton small forwards

 

[FlyingV]

yup, I'd still pick Yarran everyday of the week.
Oh and yep, Yarran lost them this game.

 

[daz17]

Yarran even had the nerve to turn his back and blame Henderson.
Twice he has cost his team a win.

 

[eth-dog]

Would take Licha every day of the week and twice on Sunday's
