I thought he was again a bit better today.

You think ? i dont think he did, he is a soft little girl. Seriously he cannot be picked next week
While Russel hasn't had fantastic games, he hasn't done anything wrong either.
Today he improved on his chasing, tacking and spoiling. Unless someone from the bullants is tearing it up, keep him in I say.

I've just learnt to accept that despite Russell's poor showings week in week out he will not get dropped. The Carlton coaches love him, plus every team must have at least one dud playing, so ours might as well be Russell.

Yeh I hate when he gets the ball cause u know he wont use it. He was the worst player in carltons 22 today IMO.

Well sorry to say to all you JR fans but I don't think he has a future at Carlton, he is soft, too many mistakes etc the list is long. The sad thing is that he has had a few chances and I think he will get a few more before they decide, but I don't think he will be a Carlton next season.

Yeah he is improving but still not up to the grade and probably never will be.
He was the worst player on the field today, including Melbournes team. Seriously if he isnt delisted come seasons end...

He was a little bit better today, i'll admit that. What I don't like about him is the way he takes his marks, he places his hands around the ball and moves his hands about to give it a 'freestyle' sort of appearance, too 'show pony' for me.
Better than he was in the first few games, though still borderline. No one really pushing for selection in the VFL who would replace him - unless both Gibbs and Houlihan are right to come back, he should line up next week.
I never said he was, but who are you going to bring in for him? Wiggins? Who obviously has no future in our side.
It's all well and good for all you heroes to yell for someone's head, but how about thinking what the reaction / inclusion of that might be..hmm?
At the moment i would rather Wiggins in the team instead of Russell
When Houlihan,Gibbs and Walker are all fit we will see the last of him,so just hang tight until then
Speaking of Walker, how long till hes back ?

You only had to start this thread to get people bagging him.
I thought he was okay today as well.
Round 10 I think
He wasn't great but he wasn't a shocker either. Will be replaced by Walker eventually but at the minute he's all we've got for the role he plays. Reminds me of a less suicidal, highly skilled version of Wiggins in many ways.
He's supposedly ahead of the projected return of round 12. Round 10 at the earliest, you would think, though hopefully he isn't played until 100%.

He is a reincarnation of Wiggins. Only Russell has all the ability and can't use it, while Wiggins tries but just isn't good enough.

Jordan Russell had a big chance to intercept the pass from James Frawley to James McDonald today that led to their first goal
Pulled out because he feared body contact

Yeah I know - wasn't my intention of course.
I think that when people have decided they don't like/rate a player they only see the bad things they do and don't notice any of their work, and that's definitely happening with a lot of the above posters.
Saying JR was worst afield today is just plain dumb.
He actually reminds me a bit of Trent Sporn.

hmm... ahh.. hmm...
YOU CAN LEAVE. what do you mean he hasn't done anything wrong. he makes turnovers at almost every opportunity, and the only reason he's still in the squad is because he maintains a poor but acceptable disposal count.
and on the count of if someone from bullants is tearing it up, as a matter of fact someone is. adam bentick. he played the match against melbourne, but he was on an off day. he'll be dropped, but if i was a selector for the navy's, he'd be in the squad over russel any day of the week.
