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

[mediumsizered]

Zac Williams taking an extended time off doesn’t fill me with great hope for the condition he would return in. Been the disappointing player of the year for mine. Turned up later than the others. Turned up out of shape. Saad turned up day one in mint condition. He’s played with niggles all year. Gets it 20+ Every week. Doesn’t set state records for clangers every second week. He’s an absolute credit to himself Adam Saad. Will finish third in the B+F for sure IMO.

Williams "turned up later than the others" because he was stuck in NSW due to the Vic Govt's border closure. He ended up staying at his sister's place in Albury & doing what training he could in the local area. In a pre-season shortened by the later than usual end to the 2020 season, he was behind the eight ball from the start.

But 'He's lazy, unfit, and not committed' makes much better fodder for those looking to be outraged and find something else to pot the club about. Damn you and your silly facts

Not sure what you mean.

By referencing that man on social media, his agent can demonstrate his reach on social media to producers.

If you want to reduce his prevalence, don't talk about him.

I don't see what's to doubt.

I was responding to the "you realise" part. I doubt it.

I'd have him in, but he's not a certainty. It's a logjam in the middle
In no particular order.
Walsh
Parish
Mitchell
Wines
Oliver
Petracca
Macrae
Bont
Merrett
Laird
Guthrie
Touk Miller
Steele
Boak
Gaff
Sheed
Josh Kelly
Keays
Mundy
Fyfe
Taranto
Lyons
Mills
Hopper
Cunnington
Brayshaw (Freo)
Libba
McLuggage
Seedsman
Menegola
Zorko
Greenwood (GC)

Then you have to remember that they always throw in a curveball or two and worry about them trying to squeeze in some of the usual names, despite them having a substandard year, or borderline on playing enough games.
Danger (games? Always find room)
Neale (games?)
Duncan (games?)
Dusty (always find room)
Pendles
Selwood
Dunkley (games)
Sloane (games)
Treloar (games)

Now, admittedly, some of those names are questionable, but that's about 40 players without considering rucks, forwards and defenders. Plus the automatic penalty that Walsh will get for wearing Navy Blue.

My point is, that while I would expect/hope he makes the squad and be in serious consideration for the 22, he can't be considered a lock for the squad, any more than he can be called a lock for the team. Stranger things have happened.

heaps better post and yes, there's a few there.......

Yep. Why did he get stuck? It wasn’t a snap lockdown? Check your facts. He chose to stay there. Says a lot. Im
Cutting the guy zero slack.

Would love to see our coach defending our key players against the media with this much passion. It should be seen as part of the role.

Very sad day.... Sergio Silvagni has just passed away. Let's hope the boys can get up this week against the old enemy for a legend of the club.

Just had a quick search and can't find anything on it. Where did you hear that?

A colleague is very close to the family. He got a call from them this morning.

Gov still a couple of weeks away.

that should take him through to our first pre-season intra-club where he'll jink his back...........

If only you could put as much effort into not potting guys for getting injured as you do defending umpires. [emoji848]

Liked for the use of the word jink.

Not sure if serious. Borderline making the squad.....

I retract previous statement. Walsh is a lock for AA.
You win. And don't even bother trying to argue with me. You'll take the win and you'll like it!
