Competitions Gameday vs Melbourne

[Stig O'Hara]

Was bewildered why we didn't have a man on the goal line only to see three goals roll through in that term, whereas the Demons kept their defensive structure and weren't drawn to the footy.

Yes, yes and yes,

How we didn't keep a defender deep when the ball was skidding 20 metres,
was like under 10's in the 3rd.

God bless a player who decided to fly for his first hanger in the wet.

Russell showed at the start he had something just wasn't consistent.This Watts everytime i seen him play shows not much. 2 years in or 1 it don't matter you need to show some guts and run and some signs.He won't be a star like Pavlish or Riewoldt not even close.I be amaze if he plays 100 games.

Russel had a total of 1 disposal and 1 hitout in his only game, for his first year. Granted he was under a shithouse coach who showed no confidence in him, but Russel was HORRIBLE in his first and second year.

Watts has already shown more than russel did in his first and second years and his a KPP.

Russell showed something at the start that only a handful of us supporters here on BF saw... the rest of them just saw the clangers and Pagan dragging him every time he made one.

Consequently there were all the cat calls for him to be delisted, traded or just plain sacked outright.

After 2.5 years of playing under Ratts, JR is now living upto the hype that the handful were giving him and everyone else is on the bandwagon blowing his trumpet for all they are worth.

Watts is a KPP. They take at least 4-5 years to develop (Josh Kennedy ring any bells????). He has had 1.5 pre-seasons invested in him and has only played a handful of games and we have a fool like you saying he is only ever going to be a spud.



You were probably one of the vocal majority bagging Russell, Bower, Kennedy et al for being shit without seeing the underlying talent or even being willing to give them a decent chance.

You are a fool i never bagged any of those guys fool especially Bower you fool.I liked him from day 1 when he kept attacking.

I support the way Anderson going even thou others don't rate him but he likes to attack.

I always thought Russell was O.K like Average like Wiggins for the pick but that's all but not spud like.I always backed him along with Houilhan when others stuck it to them but both showed good things.

My only spuds opinion Ive mention have been Ackland, Chambers, Longmuir, Harford, Livingston, Raso,Young,Bentley, Mclaren and Whitnall last few years.

I didn't even think Deluca was that bad like others.

I have been critical on Carrazoo kicking and Armfield but both knew how to get and attack and now are doing great. I reckon Warnock and Mclean are no good in my opinion and will go in a few years.Hadley and Johnson are the other 2 i have criticize but in Hadley case his injured a bit.

Wiggins has been unlucky with injuries but his never been a spud just isn't in our best 25 these days

I thought Kennedy was a bit overrated at his pick for Carlton but never bagged him in any games as i seen him do good things but he was too heavy. I was annoyed when we gave him away with like 3 picks to Judd. I didn't really want the trade to go through but Judd is a gun and we look great when he is there.

Hartlett,Davies,Sporn,Beasy,Bowyer,Deluca,Morrell,Teague,Mcgrath and others were just not that good but i never bagged them.

The guys i rated the worst on the list are Warnock and Mclean with Johnson following in 3rd place. Austin,Browne,Hampson and Anderson still have time and i have a bit of faith on them.Fisher and Wiggins are still good back up but Wiggins turning 28.

O'keefe and Tiller and the 1st year player i don't rate at all good or bad just yet.We would be mad trading Jacobs or Hampson.I didn't really rate Jacobs much because of being a rookie Ruckmen and others in his way. His got a little speed now after losing the bulk and plays well but i did see good signs early in the pre season games.

http://www.carltonfc.com.au/players.../senior/season/2009/selected/bio/default.aspxRussell was not a number 1 pick he was a top 10 pick in a crappy draft.He would have gone pick 50-80 in Watts Draft.
