Noone has claimed that Austin is or will be a star.
Which one of you posted on this board that Austin had more upside than Chris Dawes? Was it you? I would love to have the time to drag that thread up.

Thanks MCB...Which one of you posted on this board that Austin had more upside than Chris Dawes? Was it you? I would love to have the time to drag that thread up.
No it was not me.
I'm still waiting...
Ha Ha Loch-Ness Monster that's kind of funny.I feel sorry for Austin started OK years ago but unfortunately injuries and poor form hasn't helped.I wish he would come good has come to the club with Gibbs years back would be nice seeing both line up together in side have a long career together in the Navy Blue not red bullant.I have better things to do that trawl through threads all day. Go find them yourself or "STFU". Lol.
The hype around Austin on this board has been unwarranted. It's been like that for a few years at least. As I've said in the past, he's like the Loch-Ness Monster of the CFC. We've had a few unconfirmed reports of his ability to play AFL, but no hard evidence.
It's very sad when the calibre of Dean,Sexton,Doull,Southby,Silvagni and David McKay were all found by the club and now its hard to find them.Watson would be wise to get out of Carlton before he gets hit by a bus. We have absolutely no luck when it comes to key backmen and injury.
We put 10 years into Hartlett (Pick 25) and Austin (Pick 35) between them, for a combined return of... 25 games. Those numbers are just horrible for everyone involved.
Meanwhile other clubs' supporters are scratching their heads and saying "Why hasn't Carlton drafted any key backmen? Bad list management!"
With any luck you're also holding your breath.
