Only marginally.
I can't go any worse than that. I'll have to have a chat with C4. I'll get back to you.

Lol. Firstly this thread is not about Floodmond, it’s about the short-term difficulties our young side is and will have because of the brave changes we have made to our list, and gameplan i.e. a short-term pain V long-term-gain thing. So why are Tiges supporters attracted and getting so upset? Could it be that you know that Terry is doing the exact opposite i.e. resorting to ugly tactics to sneak a few wins, with the priority of saving his job, at the expense of your long term future?
i think riewoldt, kozzy, g train and all the st kilda crumbers will have an absolute field day next week.. i dont think you should worry about keeping the saints below 100 points, maybe you should try and keep them below 200!!
Have 3 blokes ever kicked 10 each in the same game??The 3 st kilda power forwards (train, riewoltd and kozzy) would probabaly never get a better chance than this week against such a pathetic backline.. might go and check out what the odds of that would be and put some cash on it
If our defence was so pathetic, why did Richo only kick 5? and Richmond only score 109pts? For the records we average over 120+ against last year.

While Richmond supporters can claim to "eat us alive", parrot is having no trouble pecking them alive.

I thought it was about putting a new spin on the hundreds of bold, but now clearly delusional comments you made all pre-season?
Are you so unfamiliar with laughter that you can't tell the difference?

Man on man football with our players working harder must have seemed ugly to you, but it didn't to the rest of the football world, and as I've said to you many times before, basing your argument on complete falsehoods gets you nowhere if you actually want to convince anyone.

Hehe...let us know when she starts Thrawn, all I can see is her flying to the top of the mast to avoid the many points she has no answer to - including a few from sensible Carlton supporters with a grip on reality.

It's the system. Go speak to Mr. Demetriou if you have an issue with it. Or, listen to your own coach after the round 22 game last year.

Really brave to trade away two Top 20 picks to get the best player in the competition. How does that fit with the whole short term pain for long term gain thing anyway parrot? It doesn't really, nor does the fact that your other best player, Stevens, was also imported. Your whole club history is littered with buying success (aka short-term gain), that's why you've struggled so much in the draft era, except when you bought a flag in 1995 - on the back on Kernahan, Bradley and Williams (all poached after they were established players in either the SANFL or AFL).
Keeping the focus on Carlton (I know Richmond have their own issues, it was a good start for us but another development year ahead..) I just couldn't believe how unfit they were the other night. There is no bigger sign of a team that hasn't worked hard enough in preseason than when they concede goals to let a team back at the end of the first term and at the end of the second term. When that happens, there's a big chance they'll roll over in the second half, which is exactly what happened. Look for them to roll over week after week after promising starts. It doesn't help that you were deliberating falling away in games at the end of last year. It also makes sense when you consider a bloke with stuffed groins who could barely run for most of the summer suddenly appears winning your time trial around Princes Park!! Don't know where the rubbish about it being a record time came from anyway, Adrian Gleeson holds the record at around 9.50 and a really good time for an AFL player is in the low 10s. Wait to see what Juddy does next preseason... In the meantime, sit back and watch your lot cough up games in the second half because they aren't fit enough.

Judd and Stevens are way below full fitness, Walker out, Fisher out, Kruezer out, Hampson out. Plus a lots of talented young players will also be pushing hard for selection. By contrast the Tiges were at 100% capacity.
Yea
[/quote][/quote]
You are seriously deluded if you think you can count Kruezer as a "player" he HASN'T PLAYED A GAME!!!! Jesus you people, he's a ruck in his first year, even if he takes half the time a normal ruck does to develop then that makes it 2 years before he becomes any good. And Hampson? WHO?? I'll give you Fisher and Walker, no problems but don't give me the other 2, thats the clutchiest of straw clutching in the history of straw clutching.

Meyer plus JON cost you two top-20 draft picks. A Greg Miller Special. lol.
come on we have all been through this before.
*Insert Luke Livingston & Trent Sporn reference here*
You might be a BF newbie, but you should stick to what you were doing beforehand.
RFC were willing to trade away all your picks to get Judd, every other club would have done the same, but you know what, with all the BS that Mrs Miller was ranting Carlton retained the number one pick.
And you know why Mrs Miller was ranting...he wanted to draft Kruezer, he knew that WC would take Cotchin and would leave Kruezer at number 2, free for the RFC picking, but all of a sudden RFC don't rate Kruezer!!
As for the claim that Carlton buy their success, get a new argument...every team has bought players over the years, unfortunately for RFC they have never turned it into success....as for Kernahan and Bradley being established players in the SANFL and that is the only reason Carlton took them...they were 18, were they really established??
Oh, and how do you think RFC got Nathan Brown???
So Carlton aren't fit, get a new one, look at what Carlton had to do in the preseason thanks to the AFL
- Travel to Sth Africa for a week of intense promotion and a game
- the week after travel to Adelaide against Port
- then play against the Hawks in Melb
- then travel to Darwin to play in the extreme heat
- and then by chance play our last practice match on a 35degree day
That would take the stuffing out of anybody!!!
In 2007 Carlton were the worst red time team, in round one although we slipped a little in red time, we did ok except for the last.
And don't go on about deliberately losing games, or i'll remind you it was RFC that took the youth policy in round 7 after starting 2007 at 0-6 and then somehow lost round 22 in the last 3 minutes....who was being deliberate then??
Go back to your own board.....unless you have something meaningful and correct to add.
Meyer plus JON cost you two top-20 draft picks. A Greg Miller Special. lol.
Don't forget to add Tambling to this list

It genuinely wounds me to say it but: Tiger08 - owned.
Beggar's can't be choosers. You go cap in hand to the AFL for handouts and next minute you are biting the hand that feeds you
