Carlisle will make for a good player I'm sure, but that was not the night he'll care to remember.
Was outmarked by Krezuer twice in two minutes that had him looking around as to what had happened and then, Walker.

The first one he was looking around at the umps hoping for a free kick. The second one was a definite WTF moment for him.

God I am really looking forward to this season when we really start to stamp ourselves on the competition again.

Gotta love Yaz having a word to Carlisle after that mark

If only Jake knew what was also coming for him later..

 

[HARKER]

He could have done with the extra leg.....diddle, iddle iddle umm.

Jake The Stepladder. He might end up being delisted in 1-2 years, but he'll always be remembered.

Footy on 24/7 is going to be unbelievable, but I reckon they will need to expand the show selection if they are to sustain the channel long-term.

Eddie McGuire Tonight? Sorry, but that's absolutely cringe-worthy.

I hope they rotate the hosts of AFL 360 because it's going to be a struggle watching Mark Robinson for 4 nights per week.

After the Bounce tries hard but ultimately isn't that funny.

Other than that the shows are great. Can't wait

Carlton gets down and dirty for new season

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...y-for-new-season/story-e6frf9jf-1226272151715

But Ratten knows there needs to be further improvement this year.
"I think we have to take the next step if we want to be in the top four," he said. "We have to be a bit harder and even a bit nastier."

 

[zeeCFC]

They've updated the player profiles on the official CFC site.

They've updated the player profiles on the official CFC site.

Just had a look and the 2011 profiles are still up...

 

[HARKER]

I don't know if the photo's have been updated of the guys, but they're not doing our boys and favours.
Some real shockers amongst them. Why the Low-Res and ugly lighting?

 

[zeeCFC]

They're probably spending more time getting it right on the new site I guess (hope)

 

[HARKER]

Not sounding good for Le Cras.
Hurt his knee at training this morning

 

[zeeCFC]

Le Crap!

Terrible news Harks.

 

[HARKER]

Terrible news Harks.

Spent a few minutes on the ground in pain and then managed to hobble off.
From someone whose done their ACL, I just can't fathom how anyone could bear weight onto it, thereafter.
Wish the guy well.

Absolutley Harks.


LeCras knee scare

WEST Coast sharpshooter Mark LeCras has suffered an injury scare at training on Thursday morning and will require scans to determine the extent of a possible knee injury.

LeCras appeared to tweak his right knee in an innocuous incident 10 minutes into the session at Patersons Stadium and will have scans on Thursday afternoon.

LeCras knee scare

 

[Jeremias]

Always sucks to see a player go down with injury, regardless of the club they represent.

Lecras is a wonderful footballer so here's hoping he is OK and the injury is not too serious.

 

[LanceRomance]

ACL's often happen in "innocuous" incidents. Such as when a player is decelerating.

In terms of AFL - the ACL is the one injury I wish the doctors could figure out and prevent and fix properly.

Here's hoping for Le Cras it is just a strain or a bruise.

 

[ESKIE]

Bad luck for the Frenchman, he,s a superstar.

separate issue does anyone else find nick maxwell a pain, just the sound of his voice gets the irritation levels up....shut up bubba!

 

[LanceRomance]

So aside from Harker, does anyone else think the Lions have what it takes to beat us in round 2?

May I answer that question?

Things rarely go to plan through the first few rounds and we may still have a few players not quite at their best.
Realistically, playing Richmond at the MCG should not pose a problem but we could well have the letdown the following week away, before we pull ourselves together and give Collingwood a run for their money.

Of course I hope we end up 4 - 0, but if there was to be a turn-up I just think it may be away early in the season and if you don't like it, you can .............

I forgot to add a cheeky emoticon face there.

I know what you meant. sorry mate.

Don't be silly. I knew you were kidding.

We'll probably lose To Richmond, belt Brisbane, draw with Collingwood and have Essendon forfeit to us..
