Will Nicky G replace Brock??

[jd2010]

Makes no sense why we don't just let him play his natural game like he does with the NB where he racks up the touches. We are screaming out for more mids who can accumulate the footy!

Mitchell was similarly regarded sceptically for his lack of pace, lack of x-factor etc ... He was overlooked in the draft and only got selected after an outstanding VFL season ... Took him a couple of years to get going.

Mitchell is obviously an exceptional player, but he is evidence that size and speed are not the be-all and end-all.

It sounds like he has the skill, so it's a matter of whether he has the nous.

Mitchell wins because he has the 90% above the shoulders.

 

[MileHigh]

Is this even an apples v apples comparison? Nick Graham has a real Dayne Beams style in terms of the way he goes about it. Beams isn't the fastest player in the world either, but he plays his role. MM was coach when he was around and he will know how to utilise a player like this.

Malthouse is killing the poor kid, how many times does he have to start sub, get 20 minutes and then get dropped again?

Yeah I honestly don't get it, kid gets thrown in and out and doesn't even get a decent run.

Andy Walkers done for the year. I reckon a spot has opened up for him to be starting 22 this week.

Agreed. Mind you robbo will come back and menz may be fit.

Yeah Mitchell is like Diesel, he's a clever player. But also to the point, he has a great sidestep and agility which Mclean doesn't have at all. Graham does however, as I've said before, Graham moves more like Murphy than Mclean though not as quick as Murphy.

Based upon his efforts Friday night, Nick has earned the privilege of not wearing that Green vest next match. Brock may have a week in the Magoo's.
Good effort Nick, now hopefully you can back it up for the remainder of the season.

 

[BM123]

Bell or Graham will definitely get dropped for Mclean against Freo though.

Mick just loves Mclean too much.

 

[BM123]

Btw I like how Graham, Bell and Menz have all kicked rippers for their first goal at senior level.

 

[Quazza]

Goal of the week, as per Derm

Yeah mate, that goal was something, just the effort to block Goldie and then to get up and have a crack, good on him, good signs

 

[Robco]

The question is, would you rather Brock or Bootsma in the side?

Needs to stop picking Juddy's teeth.

maybe they still dont believe he has the fitness level required yet?

 

[Cringle]

Mick was going on about intensity not fitness

 

[zeeCFC]

One of the better trainers at the club.

As Cringle said, it's his intensity as a midfielder...even on Friday aside from THAT play he was caught just waiting outside the pack a little. I really hope we just play him though and make him learn on the job.

Buckley's first AFL goal was pretty bloody good too. Ran on, scooped the ball up with one hand, kicked the goal from 50 out.

 

[zeeCFC]

Robbo, Hendo and Docherty had good first goals too IIRC.

Fraser Dale's first NAB Cup goal was very nice...Kreuzer's lead up play was sublime...watch the video to get a taste of what a fit Matty brings to the side.

If its the one i remember he dinked it around the corner on his left from maybe 15-20m out unless i'm going bonkers?

I do have a terrible habit of exaggerating so you could be right. In my head he was pretty far out but there's a significant chance that it didn't happen that way at all.

Every first goal for a Carlton player is glorious!

I can't remember it but I'm sure Levi's was in the goal square.

Edit: It was actually a nice clutch goal



We're forgetting the best one though....
