Roast Carrazzo is soft

[gbatman]

I don't really like posting these sorts of threads but I'm sick of watching Carrazzo slow down and attack the ball at half pace when there are other players involved. He's bloody soft and has a weak attack on the footy. When things come contested he's no good and shouldn't play on the ball if he plays like this. For every one who bagged Stevens out earlier for being soft this player is far far worse for a bloke who is ment to be an older senior body. No wonder Geelong got rid of him...

His spot is on notice IMO until someone better comes along.

Strange seeing he is now regarded as one of our tougher tagger types. Does try to draw free kicks when going in a bit but I would not call him soft

 

[Dramoth]

Once again gbatman, you have proven yourself to be the expert on picking out our weaker players...

even when they are going ok...

Pity that I now take anything that you say with a grain of salt...

 

[blue gunslinger]

Is Carrots still nervous about that arm do you think?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

He's a good reader of the play and is more of a poise player than a blaze away player. He knows how to buy himself time and doesn't over commit to a contest.

Sick of these threads, every week 'player X' is soft all because somebody noticed a contest they didn't go hard enough at.

At some point we need to stop killing our own!!!

 

[branedotorg]

i wouldn't call him soft. i think he takes too long on the ball & that too often his handpasses o no favours to his teammates but not soft

 

[Jock]

Gee fair way off the mark on that call.

 

[Silvagnis]

The OP is a soft poster and a downhill skier.

Agree that the title is embarrassing to the OP but there is nothing wrong with discussing a player in more reverent terminoloy

I have always thought that too ODN but am starting to wonder whether he prefers playing on the outside more

 

[gbatman]

Maybe the broken arm thing is the issue but he slows down when he meets the ball if opposition players are involved in the contest. I'm just sick of seeing him attack the ball at half pace and slowing down when he meets it.
I think he's a fairly good player, but he could be a better player and this is a deficiency of his game.

Just a lazy 5 tackles

His tackling isn't an issue. It's his attack on the ball, it's not very good. He avoids body contact and hard contact too often. Not what we want from our mature bodied midfielders.

 

[Pie_squasher]

Might not have been his best game but wouldn't call him soft. In fact I personally think he goes balls to the wall most times. Just interested what you think about Houlihan if you think Carrots is soft??

 

[celtic_pride]

Carrots might have a few faults with his game, but being soft isn't one of them ...

He is an pivotal part of our best 22 ...

He is highly rated by the MC, just look at all his high B and F placings in recent years.

 

[Korn]

He won't get a game in a top 4 side and he's in our best 22. Proves that our lineup is pretty thin,

Total BS, he would get a game is every other 15 clubs.

I can remember 3-4 games this year after half time his change of position into the midfield has resulted us winning games, his combination with the liks of Gibbs and Murph in the rotations is vital to us.

To many people are still on his back from when he first started playing and his disposal was poor, the fact is he has cleaned that part of his game up and he is now a very good player for us down back or in the middle.

 

[gbatman]

all i ask is that he stops this slowing down business when he attacks the ball when an opposition player is near by. He's inconsistant in this area, the Roos game was a bad one by him in this area.

Well its the second "Roast" thread you raised on the same day...same old diatribe

Actually a few of our players do this. I can't stand it. That's one of the reasons Kreuzer is one of my favourites. Even at 18yo that boy never took half steps or shirked a contest.

Unbelievable the rubbish from a couple of OP's. Some simply know nothing about the game.

 

[thylacine60]

Romano is hard - probably shouldn't get its own thread but.

 

[blues_gibbzy]

Didak is softer...

 

[thylacine60]

Love him causing mayhem up forward with Yazz and Eddie but.

He's still got it in the brace so you'd think so.
