Stevens fighting for return

[Mister Carlton]

"He’s a very good player, he’s in our probably best 22 when he’s up and firing, so he’ll be in the mix [for Friday] but whether he gets a game that’ll be determined tomorrow," Ratten said.

"I think all players in the situation are a little bit frustrated. You’d like to be playing senior footy and getting 30 touches each week and a couple of goals and best on ground and have it just working perfectly, but that’s the game itself.

I highly doubt that he will get selected for the game. I rather have new and young blood get a game before him. Players like Browne.

He'd still be our best 22, no doubt but the challenge has been laid down to Nick about being "up and firing". Our club motto means 'a healthy mind in a healthy body' and for the last 3 weeks one or the other has failed him.

Unless he does a Barry Hall on us, I have no doubt we'll see him back for the finals. In the meantime we'll continue developing 'the kids' such as Johnson, Bentley and Anderson. Armfield, Robinson and Browne are banging on the door to be selected too.

'He's probably in our best 22 when up and firing...'

Interesting choice of words considering he is without doubt in our best 22 when up and firing - seems as though he has a long way to go to prove himself.

our midfield works better and is much more accountable without him.
For all the poeple who wold kill to play for carlton, he has pissed his career down the drain with smoking drinking and eating, let him sulk in the Great Northern Bullants and he can fight for a spot when he has fought hard neough for it

Did you see what Teague said in one of the papers today i think it was the AGE. BASICALLY not fit enough, how can this be we in round 16 for god sake??? BC we all know why? Enough said on this guy, he is fast becoming a LAUGHING stock amongst the AFL. We wiil see if he in fact wants to play AFL in the next few weeks. We will see whether he has character, integrity and can rise to the challenge laid down to him! I for one hope so!

he's only been up and firing once this year (vs Saints) so over the long hual he'snot in our best 22...as proven by selections.

i am a big stevens knocker
but credit were credit due, very good in the adelaide game!

I really hope Stevens gets back to some good form, he came to Carlton in tough times and we are now starting to blossum. Stevens deserves to be there, but needs to meet Carlton half way and keep in top knick physically. His 'gut' running is fantastic when he's fit, he used to run all day.

Good luck Stevo.

As chaser-Man eases himself gently into the discussion. Don't sugarcoat it, chase. Lift!

he need to talk to whitnall and ask him how his knees are going that should motivate him to lose weight

Is a highly talented player and always was. Yet he hasn't in my opinion earnt any consideration over his career at Port or Calton. His problem has always been attitude and this is now catching up with him in his latter years. Had he been on top of this he would be still in our top 6 now and in the past would have been a consistent All Australian. Hopefully he will wake up for the first time in his career and really give of his best consistently.

Browne vs Stevo ROFL. Stevo is out of the side because a) he got a bit lazy and b) he told Ratts to go and get F..ked. Once he losses a few kg's which he has and Ratts gets over being told to get F'd he will be back in

 

[juddy4eva]
