Setanta O'Halipin on the ABC

i just think the only thing he needs to work on pre season are skills... if he starts hitting players lace out on the chest he is going to dominate out of the backline... a great running CHB something that doesnt come around too often

Go Carlos - I watched the game, and he just picked up where he left off the Sunday before.
Thank God Bannister hit Livo and not Carlos!
His last month has been exponential in terms of development.
I maintained early in the year that he needed to play seniors and Learn from big Red - look to have paid off. would be sensational to see Aisake come on next year as well.
Any thoughts Pagan MAY have had about Hansen might have gone out the window in the past 2 weeks - Carlos will force a re-think.
Attention media - there ARE positive things to write about at CFC - its a question of choosing to.

It does show you how much players can develop when given a sufficient opportunity at senior AFL level with a siginificant amount of time on ground. You can thank Barry Mitchell for that btw fellas.

9 Blues played in the ressies game this morning. Of those, I was most impressed with Edwards.

I havent been to alot of AFL games in the last 3yrs but i watch all bullants home games and about half of there away games and im not that surprised that O'hAlipin is starting to show some promise. he has everything it takes to be a great player except he is as dumb as a mule. When he first started you would swear that it was just a big joke but withing about two months he had improved 100%. it just makes you wonder how much more improvement he has in him but the best news is that his brother seems to be learning faster then him.
it sounds stupid but i would prefer to see carlton try and pick up an irish player every year then a pick 60 or 70 in the draft.

Interesting point - is there a limit on the number of international rookies we can take?
I don't know Sentanta so this is only an opinion, but he didn't sound as dumd as a mule on the ABC post match interview Saturday. Looks dumb but sounded o.k.

I went to the game on saturday, and to prove the point that was made earlier that Sentanta is a nice humble guy, it is defitetly true, he signed footballs and jumpers after the games and was very popular with the kids. I also stood very close to him in the quarter and 3 quarter time huddles, and everyone patted him on the back and ackowledged him and he was very vocal in the way they were going. Perhaps a leadership position in the not so distant future could be on the agenda
