Nah you cant do that - we have to have someone there who can be held responsible for the position.

Wayne Hughes for CHF! :P

Not a bad wiseguy comeback but if you take a look at Carrots' set shots last year, that's all it is, a wiseguy comment. Obviously you are a big Walker fan so I'll forgive you, sorry to hurt your feelings. :-D

You'll probably quote some useless statistic to back up your statement that AW can't kick, but he is still more reliable than Carrazzo and a longer kick on both sides of his body.

Carrazzo has no left foot, but Walker has nailed goals on both sides of his body on the run.



I dare say Carrazzo has a better conversion rate and has kicked more goals on his left than Walker. As for set shots, they just don't compare.

If Walker's kicking is the same in 3 years time and he wins our B & F we'll be struggling. :)

Why would you play probably your 2nd best running player behind you know who as an undersized CHF?

HFF would be his best position imo due to his ability to mark the ball[I see him as a mini type Adrian Hickmott] - I don't trust him on the back half I have seen him turn the ball over way too many times by foot.

Just hope his disposal by foot gets as smooth as his disposal by hand.

He is a very nice all round player but when it's time to dispose the ball by foot from the half back flank towards the wing I just cringe.

I agree with the HFF comment but since when has Walker been built like Tony Liberatore? :shock:

I understand.... :roll: Took me a while....

How tall was Hickmott? Not much taller that AW?

Try nearly two inches shorter minimum but probably a tad heavier.

The player that AW reminds me of the most is definetly Andy mcKay, and i would love to see AW play a similair role...

No to CHF for obviouse reasons.

Walker has beaten better forwards playing as a defender after Mark Williams comprehensively pulled down Carrazzo's pants down. Walker has stopped an on fire Croad and S.Grant and was BOG when he played on Russell Robertson. Carrazzo can be traded if Aaron Joseph who was an AA junior and a ball magnet like Carrots can improve his kicking efficiency. :P

Carrazzo is a pure midfielder.

It was a good way to introduce him to senior footy through the back pocket a la Brett Ratten, but Carrazzo's role from now on will predominantly be as a midfielder.

Walker's height allows him to play a variety or roles. Ideally though he too should end up full-time in the midfield and hopefully 2008 is the year he cements himself there much like Carrazzo did in 2007.

Your'e right. One is a B & F at the club after just 68 games and polled second for the club in the brownlow last year. He is also a natural football in every sense of the word. The other is an athlete that is rated on athletic potential (see previous posts) that while may turn out to be a gun, hasn't acheived half of what the other has. Perhaps not even a quarter. Strangely enough he has played more games though. :)

HB,if you must make statements,try and be a least a little humble and finish or start a response with "imho",because that is all they are,opinions ,simple really.
The TC community are well and truly aware that at every given opportunity,you will attempt to deflect any ctritism of Andrew Carrazzo onto other players to take the focus off Carrots deficiencies,supporters see players make errors,and no amount of spin you try and put on it,supporters are not blind and stupid,dont treat them as such.

I'm not really sure why it needs to be a comparison between the two players. They both have a role at the club and are both in our best 22.

Criticising one to push forward the other really serves no purpose.

I was taking the piss with my comments on Carrazzo, but that is the most pathetic crap you have written on this site and crap is all that you write. :roll:

Carrazzo had a good season, but Stevens was on track to win the B & F until he fractured a vertebrae in his neck. :wink:

I'll take another Hampson or even a Naitanui ahead of a natural footballer anyday of the week. 8)

LMFAO...ah yes, the ol' 'I've been proven wrong so i'll resort to insults comeback'. Works everytime. Don't worry BlueIce, you won't bring me down to your level, I'd rather just discuss the facts thankyou. You may as well just concede the argument posting that sort of tripe. :-D

Oops, I just realised I was arguing with a 12 year old. My bad. Oh and BlueIce is 12 as well!! Double wammy! :wink:
