SENIOR GROUP

Judd continues to be elite...
Stevens gets fit...
We KEEP Fev...
Waite becomes an elite CHB...
Scotland maintains his sizzling foot-skills...

Murphy in his prime; recognized as one of the elite middy's...
Gibbs same as murphy...
Kreuzer causing havoc as a devastating mobile ruckman...

Our CURRENT Weakness

Our backs gel...

Around Waite we have A-grade Andrew Walker, and a group including Jamo, Thornton, and Bower that have gelled to understand each other...

Forgot to add...

DEPTH PLAYERS

Simpson, Carrazzo, Fisher, Cloke, Grigg...with Bannister coming for tagging roles.

 

[HBF]

Reckon Simpson might be a little more than a depth player.

 

[Blue Dimension]

Reckon Simpson might be a little more than a depth player.

Carrazzo and Fisher are more than depth players also. They're apart of our core now.

This thread after a single win in a year.

"Keeping a lid on it" is so over-rated.

I've been telling all my mates for over a year that we'll win the flag in 2011. Write it down. Carve it into a stone tablet. Start engraving the cup.

Good call B2010.
Getting 2 in a row this week will be a great start.

 

[Blue Through and Through]

Go Blues, let's get two in a row first, get some confidence up, make the eight, then win the premiership. Maybe not all in one year, but it will happen

I was with you until here. Scotland sends out more hospital passes than Medicare.

You idiot.

Can't be classified as contenders untill defence proves themselves to hold opposition fowards week in week out, although they played well last week the week before they let in 150 against the bombers without lucas. Also think you guys need another key foward as if Fev doesn't kick a bag you may struggle to kick big scores

You get called "genius" much?

 

[gandaal]

After watching the Bullants play I can say that our depth is pretty poor at the minute. Almost all of our top kids are playing at AFL level at the minute, and until we get some talent at VFL level pushing our senior players for a spot we won't be premiership contenders.

So you suppose anyone who believes Carlton can win a flag in the next 2 years because they have won 1 of 15 games is a genius?

No, you dolt. I mean thanks for stating the bleeding obvious. You think you have added something new to the debate by telling us we need a better defence and another KPP up forward. Go away and come back with something we haven't heard a thousand times already. Also, look up the word "sarcasm" in the dictionary.

Liked what I saw of Hartlett and Edwards today. Both provided a real target up across the HF line. Was also impressed with Hartletts long kicking skills. Reckon he's just about there as an AFL player. Just needs to find some more consistency.

He faded. Is he fit? Aerobically fit I mean?

Edwards and Hartlett showed signs of AFL level footy. Strong hands, desperate and effective tackling, good ball use. Ellard showed the right attitude for AFL footy but not the skills. But that was about it for today.

So we do have some prospects but unfortuantely many had little impact on the game. That said there's always room for improvement, we won the game, and a couple of the kids are bound to stand up and dominate before seasons end.

Not sure mate. Didn't see alot of the second half. Perhaps he just needs another game or 2 under his belt given that he was given a 2 week holiday. Still reckon he showed enough to be a decent enough CHF for us.
