Rumour Paul Bower

[Mister Carlton]

Oh well, as far as I'm concerned, your full of shit until you show me where your source of information is coming from.

 

[chaser1]

This a really bad loss for us, looks like our defenders are going down like nine pins. Chris JOhnson as replacement, nah dont agree. One of the softest palyers i have seen when under pressure.

 

[blue gunslinger]

don't let him do the kick outs

 

[Bomba Sheldon]

don't let him do the kick outs

The irony is that we recruited him due to the strength of his kicking - weren't we supposed to be setting up a lot of attacking moves via his kick-ins???????

 

[sweet_daddy_coconut]

god damn it, i was gonna get into the top 20 in supercoach if bower played sh!t

 

[Blue Dimension]

Hate to say it... not a huge loss.

You've got to be kidding me.

 

[BlueYoss]

Carlton defender Paul Bower will miss Carlton’s Monday night clash against St Kilda with a leg injury.

The Blues today confirmed that the injury is not the same injury that kept Bower out for four matches earlier this season

I call bullshit.

NO... he was recruited as the all australian under 18's chb with pick 20, same year we took Kennedy at 4, Kennedy was the all australian under 18's chf and stated that the only player that beat him was Bower that year, he was recruited for his ability of winning one out contests and then running off opponents turning attack into defence.

Careful you'll get abused by the 'big noters'

They don't come bigger than Yoss

Pretty sure he was talking about Chris Johnson.

Bomba was talking about Chris Johnson not Bowerbird mate.

Is that not a bird that steals shiny blingy shit?

Nah that's T-Bird.

 

[Sin City]

No that's my ex

 

[Alpha1]

Well ex's are known to do that.

 

[Sin City]

Well ex's are known to do that.

How would you know?

 

[Alpha1]

I don't.

 

[Banga19]

Its a quad. Looking at 3-4 weeks.

F***

 

[Sin City]

Too many recurring injuries. This year and last.

I was referring to Johnson in a thread earlier, and not Bower

 

[ratten7]

are you sure you weren't refering to bowers johnson?

 

[iRemember87]

Its a quad. Looking at 3-4 weeks.

I read it was the opposite leg to last time, is that correct?

In a way if it is, that is good as the previosu injury is somewhat healed!

 

[Faz 2000]

Stop (*&^#&% around, Emu!

If we could get Bower, Walker, Jamison and Waite on the field for 11 consecutive weeks (ie. half of one season) I think people in the football world would genuinely sit up and take notice and go "hang on a minute... Carlton have a really good defence!".

These guys, along with Russell and, in smaller roles, Armfield, Joseph, White, Thornton etc, can really form a back 6 that gets it done week in, week out. They've got dash, athleticism, a touch of size, and in a few cases some skill.

Stay on the park, guys! This is when the "next good teams" become the "really good teams", when they play together, are injury-free and build up momentum.
