where is Bentick?

[anth22]

I hope Edward's never gets another game. He was crap
Bannister stays in the team, he wasn't our worst player by a long shot

You are a F#$%! wit. Kicked 1 goal 2 and took 8 marks in first game. Best first up performace we have had for a while.

Firstly, Ryan Houlihan = soft as butter. We are going nowhere if he, Scotland, Stevens are in the same side. Too many soft co@ks in our side.

So you want our skill level to decrease? Houlihan isn't there to do the hard stuff... we all know he is soft. But he is a better disposer of the ball than most of our team, and is quite effective on a HFF.

Thirdly, Heath Scotland (don't laugh) - gave away three goals through soft rubbish efforts and also he is happy to get cheap around the back of the pack kicks ala Carazzo.

Scotland is another with experience who we need playing. He is also a good disposer of the ball... and sets up many attacks.

My point is that anyone who has been scarred by the last six years should not be there at year's end. Get rid of the blokes who have been part of the rubbish of the last six years.

Ok, let's get rid of:

Fevola
Stevens
Murphy
Gibbs
Thornton
Scotland
Houlihan
Simpson
O'hAlpin
Betts
Waite

Excellent idea! Let's play VFL players instead and go for 200 points against for a whole season instead of 100!

I hope Edward's never gets another game. He was crap

I suppose you said the same for Simpson's first game... or perhaps Fisher's?

I thought Bentick would struggle to hold a place in the team this year. But thursday night it became apparant how deperately we need a player of his type. Hadley could be this but is still underdone. Bentick has to play this week if fit. His hardness at the bottom of the packs aswell as his inside pressure were sorely missed.

And he did his selection chances no harm at all with a BOG performance against Coburg on Saturday. Would be astonished if he didn't make it into the 22 this week.

There is an awful lot of Plunkett about Bentick. I don't mind that he is slow (a guy called Greg Williams was slow), but he simply can't hurt you if he gets the pill.
30 touches in the magoos means nothing. All the hacks run around the VFL knocking up touches.

Bentick has been asked to lose weight so he can get a little quicker. I think he may be one of those players who are too slow but when they get near an opposition player they are very strong in the hips to force his compeditor off the ball. But with that weight he remains slow.
Todays football is nearly all about speed, endurance and strength. Players mus have all three attributes, not just one.

Hello Carlton people,

just wondering what happened to Bentick?

I picked him up as top draft pick as my tackler in the dream team game the bench - www.thebench.com.au

he had an awesome 07 season and was right up there with Kirk in the tackles. Whats going on with him? I thought he was going to be a gem for the Blues.

If we had a starting 22 of players with all attributes we would have one 5 flags in a row you ****head! Bentick doesn't need to be fast, his body suits his game and his game suits Carlton!

Had 37 touches, 9 clearances and 8 tackles in the ants

I guess that spells the end for Murphy, Gibbs, Fev, Hadley, Pfeiffer (he hasn't even played yet), Houlihan, Betts, Edwards, Setanta. Actually I think we can just about kiss goodbye 75% of our list. Oh well, I better find a new way to occupy myself during the weekend.

This is what happens when you drink the water in South Australia.

haha or the fluoride...

hopefully not for long, there are massive de sanitizing plants happening...

1st of all Bentick is just as important to our team thangetting back Stevens. He adds strength around a contested situation, he will BLOCK and make a passage for Juddy (which was a main reason behind him being so good at W.C), his tackles stick, not like a pissy effort of sticking a hand and and getting brushed aside but tambling, pettifer and co...

for those of you who want to make 4-5 changes its a silly move. We need to give the players a chance to redeem themself, unlike the pagan era when if they stuffed up they were off and then dropped (Russell).

for mine the changes should be
In: Bentick, Fisher and Hampson
Out: Hartlett maybe Jackson (but he usually gets the job on Harvey), the rest will be stiff. Bower played well enough to keep his position and Grigg (id like to see play on Montagna). Betts is needed, he kicked 2 goals last week, what do some of you guys expect from him, Edwards' debut was pretty good and enough for him to go around again. Bannister you would imagin will go to Dal Santo, so its going to be a really hard decision.

Can't chase can't kick... whats the point in playing him. If he plays then Carazzo cannot play on the ball YUK!!!

22 Benticks = 200 point loss... we wouldn't chase and never hit a target. For me I would make no changes to the side

 

[nsj91]

Hopefully in the VFL somehwere he is slow and cannot kick so please never let him play again

second that. hard at it.. but hes just a player. i reckon blackwell's better

nsj91 do not take this as criticism of you - it is just that your choice of words suits my point.

As a newbie, reading so many of our threads is upsetting. These guys are not 'just players' - they are OUR CARLTON players!

From now on, how about we do our team a favour and hit the Preview button and think before we hit the Submit button

Game has started CHEERS

 

[Silvagnis]

Where he should be.

Pfeiffer offers us more in terms of versatility and is a better kick.

Didn't notice Pfieffer starting in the centre too many times tonight. We've been smashed out of the middle every game we have contested this year. AB needs to be in the team - period.

Who mentioned Pfeiffer starting in the middle?

Bentick won't bring much legspeed to the team when we're made to look slow by Richmond and the Saints who aren't fast sides.

Essendon at the G doesn't suit Bentick.

31 disposals in the Round 20 game against Essendon at the 'G' last season. A game that we only lost by 10 points, although we supposedly were focussing on list management by that stage of the season.

Game has ended. Still feel so joyous about OUR CARLTON players? You shouldn't.
