You are so predictable fella, tell us something new why don't you?

So would you say Jack Riewoldt is a "better prospect going into the future " than Richo at the Tigers? Is Travis Boak a "better prospect going into the future " than a Josh Mahoney at Port. Is David Armitage a "better prospect going into the future " than a Robert Harvey at St Kilda? Is Muston a "better prospect going into the future " than Shane Crawford at Hawthorn? Of course they all are - but there is much more to picking a senior 22 than who is a "better prospect going into the future " - I thought even you knew that Synbad.

Hey I've got an idea - why don't we get the Bullants seniors play for Carlton this Friday night & the Carlton team can get their red & white gear out this weekend.

BORING!!!!!!!!!!!

Crawford is a modern day footballer who trains hard to be fit and he leads by example.....

Would love him instead of Lance...

As a matter of fact there is no 200 gamer from any club that i wouldnt want before Lance...

Lance should be dropped tomake way for youth who we must pin our hopes on... cos the only thing that can be pinned on Lancewith any surity is that he is the most unprofessional player currently to have played as many games as Lance has played.

Thats just another indictment to why this footy club has had 5 years of nothingness.

Give him his own thread with all this crap will you? Then maybe everyone who hasn't read it "ad nauseum" will be able to read it all at once, and the rest of us won't have to read this tripe in almost every topic on the site. You people are supposed to moderate - how about you do it?
Yawns again......

Hey, I just got my 50th post after 2 and a half years. Whhooooo hooooooo!!!

Synbad may be repetitive and scathing regarding Lance, and yeah he's a bit harsh on Red, but I'm sure and agree there is good reasons for him to be disappointed in Lance 2007.

Plus it's relevant point to raise for this thread.

Lance may play himself into form...sure enough the MC are giving him every opportunity. He had a great first half on Sat, but went missing for the whole second half ...fatigued.

Lance is not in good condition imo, and I think everyone has given up on questioning Lance's position in the firsts because the MC wont make the hard decision, and we're taking him for granted. I don't like that.

If I was coach Lance would be knockin on the door from preseason and perhaps Blackers would be in, or maybe even keep Anderson in.
In the St Kilda game discussion I suggested

OUT: Jackson Wiggins Anderson
IN: Hartlett Bower Edwards

Anderson didn't do much wrong though. I just thought I'd throw him in for 3 changes. If we weren't playing St Kilda, I'd be advocating dropping Ackland.

I do believe Hartlett or Kennedy would be good around the ground and they should be able to hold CHB and CHF. Maybe Kennedy is a CHB. Who knows?

What I think both have is presence. They bring the ball to the ground if they don't mark. IMO they should be more dominant in the air with their marking. I love the way Kennedy is always getting his hands and body to a contest and keeps on competing. Worth keeping him in...he makes us look and play bigger.

Bower is a gun, attacking defender. He was not loose last year on Barry Hall in round 22, and proved to have the right attributes for a modern day footballer; height and pace.

I'm sure Benjamin and Grigg will make it; injury has robbed them of opportunity. I think both of these players and Anderson will overtake Blackers, but in terms of readiness, Blackers would have to be ahead atm. Does Blackers warrant a position right now? Imo, No.

I've got a feeling that Raso will make a name for himself in the second half of this season...call it gut feeling. and it's still too early in the season to judge Aisake and Flint who have been sidelined with injury, let alone the fact that in any other team, they would be expected to serve their apprenticeship in the magoos.

Aisake will surprise...I'd even put him in for Ackland atm. What have we got to lose? Not a flag!

Everyone looks good in Navy Blue

Apparently he was close to our best in the bullants reserves on the weekend. Hopefully along with Benjamin will be promoted to the bullants ones in the next week or 2.

Sorry.. but why would i stop???
Its not like he is playing well.. or leading well.. or dragging the side over the line...all he is doing is presenting himself in a very unfit manner... and not making any meaningful contribution as he keeps another kid out of the side.... and no.. no kid with red hair ever beat me up "or something"...
Why do you have red hair...???.... and wanna wave the flag or something???

In the meantime you post some real drivel... but you know what???.. i dont read it most of it... ... or complain.. its your right as a member of this forum...

I dont thinks its boring. repepitive yes but not boring.

We got the Pizza with the lot from Lance on Sat night. Awesome Lance first half. Shades of 2000 .Last quarter with game on the line on bench for part of it doesnt get near the pigskin whilst their leaders bring it home for the youngsters and most of us are happy that big Red has found touch again yet our captain are most experienced player except for Lappin doesnt touch the aggot. That folks isnt good enough.

I thought this post was about Hartlett and Bower.

Oh well it seems every problem in the world at the moment is caused by Lance - easy target.

Do you know that Lance struggles to walk after each game and in fact it's a battle to get him right for each game. Lance spends most time in the pool to get him right for the following week. I know this is no excuse and if he isn't fit he shouldn't be playing. Lance needs to have a good preseason to set him up for the year. He had a shit of a preseason due to knee problems - not his fault.

His first half against the Lions was great and I doubt he can play at that level for 4 quaters. May be he should be played more of the bench after half time.

If he isn't fit enough then the MC need to make the decision and not play him. So may be the shit thrown on Lance should be directed to the people that influence who plays each week.

I didn't see Hartlett as being very influential in the game either & don't agree with everyone saying he should be playing. I really think that to get a game in the seniors you really need to be dominating at VFL level & I don't really see anyone doing that.

Edwards played a good game on the weekend but I don't think he should be promoted just yet - let's see if he can get some consistent performances together first.

Bower really frustrated me. He was loose all day & didn't really do much damage with his disposal. He tries to take everyone on & almost gets caught rather than using the first option of a quick handball to a player that is running past. He seems to not like to get in and win a hard ball but instead, drops off the pack & waits for the easy receive. It may be his role I don't know but it gets a little frustrating.

Synbad has a point and wants nothing more that see Carlton FC at the top. While our captain cannot run out a game, he has a very valid point. Great that Lance had a good first half - so he should he is our captain! We just do not have the leadership. The game was there to be won on Saturday night, they had the leadership showing how it should be done, we didn't - that is why they won.

_________________
"our electorate seeks less to be informed and more to be validated." Sad times.

Yes the Lions had the leadership and skill at the end. Names like Brown, Black, Power, Charman, Copeland, Johnson, Notting etc etc etc ........
These players have played in premiership sides.

Please list our experienced players.........

See it's all Lances fault, he is the reason we have won three spoons

We have the youth coming through to compare to other side. We do not have enough leadership. Lance needs support!

Yeah he does have a valid point, but I think other posters validly point out that it is a point made in almost all of his 10,000 posts.

Synbad we know what you think about Lance, were you happy with Fev's leadership skills last Friday, or is it a case of Fev being above criticism. I am sure you wouldn't excuse Whit standing talking to umpires while his team mates fight for the ball 5 metres away.

Anyway, I'd like to see Edwards and Bower in on the weekend. Hartlett for Kennedy maybe, but he didn't set the house on fire on the weekend.

Spot on bluegirldanielle about Bower.

But Lance is the leader of the playing group, so shouldn't he lead by example and give his spot to a younger healthier & fitter player who can learn or contribute over the whole 4 qtrs.
21 available players vs 22 available players for a large part of the game isn't fair or acceptable, surely?

so we were really down to 20 men for the second half with Jackson busting his hand. Sounds like Lance's selection was pretty smart.

It's comments like yours that undermine how much Lance is giving up for this footy club.

He could be a cripple by the time he turns 30. What a vile bunch you can be.
