Winner and margin Carlton vs Essendon

[Ben the Gooner]

I would never bet 'flog' against something in the heart.

Blind faith or not.

We however are miles ahead of you guys. I am sorry you just can not see it.....

Funny how your two best players were your two oldest, while two of our best three were youngsters, and we beat you.

Murphy

Give you the points on that one, but it's too early to write all of our kids off as worse than Murphy.

Gibbs

lol. Courtenay Johns?

In all seriousness, take your pick: Lonergan, Houli, Reimers and a lot more from other positions.

Kreuzer

As a ruckman? Ryder.
As a forward? Neagle.

Walker

Lovett.

Judd

Obvious.

Simpson

Take your pick.

Whether it is 2009 or 2010. Who can match each of them?

None.... Which is due to you abilities and your balance.

Which in the end, hurts due to the lack of 'quality' top end kids.

On the contrary, it is your balance I'd be worrying about. Sure you've got some superstars. But so do Melbourne. It is a consistent spread of talent from 5-25 on your list which wins premierships, not a couple of superstars.

Into the future: CHF? FF? (Fev will be getting old) CHB? FB?

We on the other hand have an even spread of kids across all positions. Even with less "superstars" like Murphy, there is a team there. A champion team will always beat a team of champions.

We will win a premiership before you, simply because our youngsters are more balanced.

Find me an equal for:

Murphy

Gibbs

Kreuzer

Walker

Judd

Simpson

You are getting more ridiculous by the post. Do you seriously rate simpson?

Murphy - is taken by Lonergan or Houli or Hislop which says a lot about the draft. They are only kids i know but with your logic about Murphy and others they will match him and better him. Being a number 1 pick doesn't mean much in a team game
Gibbs - Will always be Reimered
Kreuzer - will be dominated by Hille and watch out for Laycock in time
Walker - Ryder, should i say more
Judd - is a superstar, but injuries and mileage are slowly wearing him down. Don't pin your hopes on him too much. Welsh and Mcveigh will look after him.

Then there are Dempsey, Winderlich etc.... i've said it before, its just you continue to ignore my post. How can a club that is reliant on one player be miles ahead of us?

Give me a break Coleman....

Only if you had the heart of Tarzan and the brains of Robert Walls.

You seriously are Dave Hughes or are just simply taking the piss............

Again, rather than post something intelligent, you dodge the issue, and go for the man instead. I'd say softer than Bryce Gibbs, but he dodges the ball and the man.

What do you say to Post #351?

Nah man, you will see that i will be called the prophet
Unfortunately, you have severly overrated your list and it got badly undone on sunday. I might have erred with Murphy i will accept that, although the kids mentioned with him arent bad either. And add to the fact that Murphy is a number 1 pick, i dont think his that far in front. But my view is correct on the others. Everybody is telling you the same thing. So no, i aint Dave Hughes, Tarzan or Robert Walls. Your just too thick to understand or to stubborn to accept it. Remember as Ben told you, a champion team will always beat a team of champions.

P.s. By the way, if i was in any way like Robert Walls id rather neck myself.

When put head to head, our kids beat yours. As soon as the AFL season starts, forget about draft selection as it is just a number. Look back on the drafts and you will see that only 20% of them justify their number one selection. Nothing against Gibbs, Murphy and Kreuzer as I think they will all be good players, but so far I've seen more out of our boys.

Dons were too good on the day, but tell you what, if Murph, Gibbs, Kreuzer were put up for trade and we wanted Reimers, Lonergan, Ryder, and take your pick on another couple in return, you would initiate that tade in a heartbeat. And if you lie and deny this, then I am bloody sure that Knights would give himself whiplash in his haste to sign on the dotted line.

Ok to win on the Sunday guys, but at the end of the day it is about premierships, we are a young group that had an off day(wont be the last I am sure), still more than happy with our list moving forward as far as having a crack at a flag in 2-3 years.

Mate... this is getting really ridiculous now. Either you guys are stubborn or i dont know what. The kids you mentioned are Number 1 picks ffs. Pretty hard to compare them to our kids. I think you guys are getting to carried away by numbers. Those kids are great, but i believe we have more of an EVEN spread of quality youngsters. You can keep your handful and ill keep our spread. We will see you in the grand final in 2 - 3 years.

Mate I was responding to the clown that said something along the lines of ...Gibbs, will always be Reimered, and Kreuzer, dominated by Hille, and will by Laycock in time.

Your thoughts on Laycock over Kreuzer mate? I think I had every right to reply to that!

 

[Merv]

I think I had every right to reply to that!

You and your mates also came into this thread pre game and made some ridiculous statements that were proven wrong.

The majority haven't returned, one did only to hurl abuse.

You don't give much credit to our win, the second time we beat you for the year and the third time in a row, except that you had a bad day.

You don't think we have a right of reply.

Games over now, so i will close this thread but if you would like to start another on the value of our players vs each other feel free.
