Opinion The 'Carlton related stuff that doesn't need it's own thread' thread Part 2

[Sector 7G]

Interesting article in the HS stating that perhaps Ben might be better than Harry moving forward.

I think Robbo sunk a few too many cans of Jim Beam and Coke during the Tigers v North game. Said McKay had the better of JR despite him kicking 2.6. So a forward who is completely cooked had 8 shots at Goal and he thinks this is a good effort.

it really is odious watching a mod rally the "poor us" troops in here...........

Who asked you.

I wonder if our midfield gets back to dominating once Pittonet is back? Easy to forget that he was ranked the most-effective ruckman in terms of hit-outs to advantage when he was fit.

And as others have said, it also allows TDK to become another tall threat in the forward line, while also allowing JSOS to focus on being the link player and his forward pressure. Not to mention that during his stints at the centre bounce, TDK will be fresher from not having to take the majority of ruck contests.

Still think we have the ability to trouble those top teams remaining in the H & A.

Pitto was our third best clearance player last year. And I think he aids others get clearances. He’s more than a hitout ruckman.

Absolutely. And TDK has also been doing a lot more at ground level recently.

' success this season? I noticed this before the game yesterday and while I don't have the effort to go through individual roles and specificities, there is a clear trend here...

Rd 1, 4 mids - 3 votes
Rd 2, 4 mids - 3 votes
Rd 4-5 - didn't play
Rd 6, 4 mids - 3 votes
Rd 7, 4 mids - 3 votes
Rd 8, 4 mids - 2 votes

Rd 9-18, 5 mids - only a handful of votes throughout these rounds

I’m not sure how Cripps received 3 votes in this last game. He is nowhere near where he was in the earlier rounds.

Could probably give it to Saad instead. Cripps could've kicked 3 today which would've given him the 3.

His best is when he plays for the team. Bringing others into the game.

Not try to be superman and do spectacular things. Occasionally they play out nicely...run into 50 and kick a long goal....but sometimes he is made to look very ordinary.

They were sold out of flags yesterday as well.

so.....if he had of played better he would have got the 3? goes for anyone doesnt it?

dont get me wrong, the umpires will give him 3, just has to get out of bed for that

Could also be related to Pitto's presence (not for Rd 19 obvs).

Just heard that a couple of different Carlton supporters have started a couple of different change.org petitions, 1 to have Kelli Underwood sacked and 1 to have Williamson banned from officiating Carlton games.

What the actual heck is wrong with people, starting these threads and those who sign them

18 months ago I called him a bollard. I was so wrong. He is so much more and adds a physical presence against the monsters that TDK just can’t do!
