We're not saying he is of the class of Stevens. But taggers don't need to be of that quality, they only need to know how to stop players of that quality.

Oh well i would think Waite to take Lucas, pity it's not Lance though, Scotty would've done enough to assure him the coleman at round 3
Nice post man
Most of us carlton fans didnt buy into the post nab cup hype. We do however believe we can be alot more competitive and give a few teams a scare this season

i have been there all year, and you are wrong. No nice way to say it, but after the NAB cup we took a poll, and MOST posters had us finishing between 10th and 15th win somewhere between 6-10 wins.
This is achievable.
I want my captain to come out and say we are aiming for finals, if they weren't I would be disappointed. Does that mean he thinks that's were we should be? No, don't be silly, but set your aim high or you will always under achieve.
Unlike the Tigers, whose coach came out the week before the season started and said we are aiming to not improve this year........WTF?
No wonder their start to the year has been less than inspired.
Now, you can of course be ridiculous and come out and say that we are aiming to go from 3 1/2 wins and equal last to the top 4.......but what kind of idiot would make that sort of prediction........you could even allow speculation that the coaches future rides on that kind of success..........but that would just be foolish now wouldn't it.

hirdy said that he believed that they could finish top 4. after beating two "top 4" sides in a row what is he expected to say???
"oh, we have a couple of goods win but we will probably drop off soon."
sheedy himself wouldn't deny the fact that he is in troouble if we don't have a vastly improved season. i don't think hirdy was breaking any news there

Incorrect, because we finished 15th....not equal last....
dont get me wrong the dons look great this year and i think will have a good year.. but if i no essendon they will let this should win game slip and undo their good work// I really hope im wrong.. but our previous early season carlton games have not been good.. even in our stronger years.. hope they have turned the cornor and i think this game is one of the msot important games of the year.. cos its all well and good to win the ones u are not expeceted to win.. .but games like these can make or break a young sides year....
you haven't got a young side mate. fletcher, llyod, hird, lucas, michael, johnson, johnson, peverill, not really a young side. the difference is that this year michael has come in and freed fletcher, which has also allowed mcphee to play a running game off the half back line. once those two players are allowed latitude they cut sides apart....imo and hope that it won't happen this week.
Half of the side selected to play tomorrow has played less than 60 games.
Thats not a very experienced side.

Ok for a start, 1 of those players isnt named. We have 2 first year players playing. Our most experienced midfielder apart from Peverill is probably Stanton, who you could hardly call old.
Sure, on averages we dont hav a young list, but it isnt a very experienced list. Most of the guys you have named havent got 200 games to their name.
Weve still got years of building ahead of us, this is simply the start of a dynasty.
If those articles in the Age and Sun today don't fire the boys up something is wrong. Walls as smug as ever and the H/S going on about '99. God I hope we smash them.
You're a loser.
Dearest Matthew,
What is your excuse after the weekend? Stop looking for excuses - a good side has good depth
That rules out Carlton being a good side then.

Does it still taste bitter?
Hey, great get on the Mal Michale thing too.......he gonna be a star at full back...........just wait until he plays on the big Wrestling type FF's who don't really lead..............oh wait..............um..........shit eh?
Never mind, was a good idea at the time.
More than you'll know!Does it still taste bitter?
You'd be a fool not to take him at the price we got him... which was nothing.Hey, great get on the Mal Michale thing too.......he gonna be a star at full back...........just wait until he plays on the big Wrestling type FF's who don't really lead..............oh wait..............um..........shit eh?

Didn't stop us from drafting 8 quality kids last year though.

Guys, just stop replying to the posts abour carlton v Essendon as the carlton supporters are just trying to extend our pain.
Bear, we have moved on and are looking ahead to our game this weekend.
PS:Yes it still tastes very bitter

Would we do that?
Good luck this week.
Saints - hard to read their form. No Fraser though - ? Drop Michael.........in all honesty doesn't really have a match up against the saints.
Not sure who to tip - is there form here for one side vs another?

Neither do Lucas and Lloyd with Hudghton and Maguire out. I think we should drop them also so we can find better matchups
