Fisher 1 per game comes from the hardwork of Fevola and Whitnall knocking his opponent out of the way in order to take his cheap mark. How many 1 on 1 contests has he won. VERY few. People will realise this and make sure he is isolated 1 on 1. From then on in he will not even take uncontested marks never mind contested grabs and his career will be over. He is easier to figure out then a year 1 maths test. Fisher is a one trick pony. That trick is not a good one either
Thanks for the laugh:D . Next time I'd recommend watching atleast a quarter from a Carlton game before commenting on our players. Whitnall played no more than 8 quarters up forward this season - how exactly could he knock over Fisher's opponent from defense? Fevola generally plays deeper than Fisher, and Fisher would take most of his contested marks just outside 50. And another thing - if his opponent was knocked out of the way, it wouldn't be a contested mark, Einstein.

Fisher is a HFF:rolleyes:

As is Waite

Staker played in the grand final?

Stevens, Scotland, Kouta, Simpson, Murphy, Gibbs, Blackwell is our midfield. Bannister won't play a game in '07.:thumbsu:
He played in the grandstands. Probably put in a better effort then Betts up there.

You have Waite as a HFF Fisher as a HFF. Is Betts a HFF too. Half Forward Flanker is another way to describe a player who just isnt good enough for a KPP spot. Its nice to see your starting to come around.

To all those unintelligent people out there this is what we call changing the subject due to the fact I am clearly correct in my assessments. Brad Fisher will be delisted in 3 years time when Carlton realise that as a forward he isnt good at kicking goals or beating his opponent
No this is what we can "the effects of inbreeding".

Brad Fisher is an excellent contested mark.

Your claim he requires people to all fall over to take a pack mark is a moronic statement and can only be put down to your chromosone imbalance through said questionable breeding practices.

So Embley and Cousins spend time on the HFF because they're not good enough for a KPP ?:rolleyes:

Betts is the crumbing forward pocket.

Your 2007 New Years resolution should be to actually watch some football :thumbsu:

As a troll you are pretty ******** :thumbsu:

Its really sad. Carlton spent so much time on the botton of the ladder they become so easily pleased. Based on your theory Staker is a ********EN EXCELLENT contested mark :rolleyes:

Last season our forward line was

CHF Waite Kennedy Fisher
FF Betts Fevola DeLuca

:thumbsu:

I enjoy your lack of knowledge;)

Well derrrrrrrrrrr. Did your mum teach you that last night before she tucked you into bed. My point is that Eddie Betts is the laziest player playing AFL atm. He must play with concrete boots cos the boy dont do much moving

Great depth there. A ruckmen at CHF :rolleyes: . Proves my point really. The club thinks very little of Waite by not giving him any responsibility.
Good point. I'm guessing that is the reason Cousins is not at CHB.

He was captain. Not much more responsibility there. Anyway back onto your reliance on a 19 year old injury prone slow CHF it really does show just how poor the forward line is. Your CHF kicked 5 goals for the year :rolleyes:

Deluca played a grand total of 2 games after Kennedy's injury.
Care to tell me who played CHF or did it just remain a vacant position in the team... My point exactly. Your own fans dont even know who your CHF is!!!. Thats got to be a worrying sign

Kennedy will be a star. Fisher and Waite are capable of big seasons. Looking at a pic of Waite in the HUN the other day he was looking fit and strong. If he stays on the park, he will become a top liner. Fev is the best FF in the comp along with Lloyd.
Carltons forward line is great. It is the onballers and lack of supply that has been the problem. If Scotland, Stevens and Kouta can complement Walker, Gibbs, Murphy, Bentick and Blackwell, then they will get great supply.

All in all Blues forward line is super. If you swapped them with yours and they had the supply of Judd, Cousins, Kerr and Co, i would tip WC to go 22-0 for the year.

Gumbleton will be a star. Kennedy will be a injury prone hack. The next Andrew McDougall for sure :thumbsu:

Whitnall, Deluca and maybe even Kouta would have spent limited time there, but Waite would have been our CHF.

There you go again

If you watched any footy you would know that Kennedy doesn't shirk the contest unlike McDougall.
Kennedy will shirk the contest more and more when his very bad shoulders break down again. Kennedy like McDougall spends too much time standing still. He doesnt lead enough and never will.

I cant believe you picked this bloke up ahead of Mitch Clarke. Big draft blunder that

Let me attempt to unscramble your obvious ignorant analysis of Carlton's forward lineup.

Brad Fisher - Injury prone footballer with kicking skills that rival Mark McGough. Cant take a contested mark and relies on cheap kicks on a wing to make a name for himself. Not good enough.
Whilst i concede that Brad Fisher's kicking can be quite erratic, you claim that he cannot take a contested mark? Obviously you have not seen enough footage of this guy in action as the most focal point of his game is his contested marking. Besides, if you bothered to watch a Carlton match you'll find that Fisher plays off the flank.

Jarrad Waite - One of the most untalented CHF in the game. Cant take a contested mark to save himself and is too lightweight to play deep. A glorified half back flanker. Not good enough
Waite untalented? As based on what? Whilst i will try and avoid claiming injury as the primary factor in hindering his development, this cannot go unnoticed. In addition, you are correct in claiming Waite is currently too lightweight to play in such a key position as CHF, which is what you'll find to be the reason as to why Pagan has played him off the flank and has continously given him stints on the wing as a running link man. Check out last years stats and you'll notice he gathered 6.5 marks a game on average. Whilst you may offer the counterclaim that most of those may be uncontested, this is irrelevant because as previously stated he has played off the wing where it is expected he'd take uncontested marks in finding space in the open.

Anthony Koutoufides - The man who spent the entire pre season dancing around in a suit :rolleyes: . Was a good player ten years ago but now he is a shell of what he once was. Uninterested player with no passion. Should of retired
Haha! What does his appearance on Dancing with the Stars have anything to do with his performance on field? This little gibe of yours reeks of nothing less than contempt. Does Brodie Holland no longer have any passion for the game after his appearance on Dancing with the Stars also? Pfft! Please, if you're going to make a claim like that at least attempt to use some plausible evidence to back it up. Of course he is not as good as he once was 'ten years ago'. After bouts of recurrent knee injuries, and at 34 years of age one would expect a player like him, regardless of talent, to be deminishing in their performance over time.

Eddie Betts - Unfit slow and untalented. Cant mark cant kick and has carried his career based on 3 fluke goals. Not good enough
Ah yes, the young man who won goal of the year last year is the one who you claim supposedly 'can't kick'? Yet another outlandish claim based on zero evidence. Furthermore, if i recall correctly Eddie was the one who drew the scores level or thereabouts in the Carlton vs Essendon game when he took a contested mark and kicked a goal from 50 metres. Clearly, he's untalented. ;) (Here's some reading material - http://carltonfc.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=301420)

Josh Kennedy - Injury prone KPP who has had 2 shoulder reconstructions. I can tell you he is just another version of Kepler Bradley, If he makes it ill enter the next draft. Not good enough
Hahaha! You're writing off a 19 year old player who has only played 9 games of league football? Please... need i say more to further expose your limp argument for the lame attempt at a troll that it is. (Oh, and good luck with the draft next year!) :thumbsu:
