Surely you jest.

Watts would be diabolical on Hawkins.

I keep forgetting we have him on our list.

Absolutelyagree....have a look the next time a Carlton player mans the mark after a mark from the opposition...give them 2-3 metres every single time...its a game of 1%ers, kills me everytime i see it.

For someone like Boots he really needs the rest of the core group to have some steel and all the systems to be working. Plus, it was wet, he's 191+cm built like a twig and his opponent is shorter than my 14 year old daughter but built like a brick BBQ.

..agreed, the way he plays ought to be the team standard.. ..fav player by far..

Kruz is five times the ruckman 206 is

That might be true, however I sometimes think some of our blokes are still hesitant with regard to the holding the ball rule and sliding rule, afraid they'll get pinged ala Bell in the first quarter. Similarly they may think that if the opponent goes for the ground ball first, we'll be able to get a free when we tackle them.

I blame the rules committee.

hey guys, first ever post...

look, pies are a top 2-4 side...hate them but that's the facts. We hung in bloody well, lacked class in the end. Can,t go too balastic when perhaps that is where we are at. Sure we have weak links, hopefully MM will sus all that out over the next month or so

Unfortunately our list is our list...if we can fine tune, great- however no point potting everybody for a mistake here and there. For what it is worth, I thought the effort today was good, mistakes yes, but there were some exciting passages of play. I will be there again next week(unfortunately next to my Geelong wife) but will tip the blues to win by 18 points.......

1030!!!!!!!!!!

Tears.

Welcome, and best of luck with your tip!!

so we were worried about tackling in the pre season due to injuries.... hmmm our injury list is pretty long (yes I know that sh!t happens)
the lack of tackling practice sure paid off today.....

though in saying that we were still in the game with 2 minutes left, even though we were out on our feet and we had to MASSIVELY cover Davies... he is a spud. Bootsma, he's learning and will be good. Armfield - very inconsistent today Carrots, was very quiet and not himself, and Zach, man, I love watching him though, it was painful today.

Simpson needs to shave that flower beard off, Hendo up forward was great. I agree with Synners, Warnock will be great. Even in the forward, if we are going to continue to bomb the ball in, at least their bloody backmen will have to get of the ground a fair bit.
They had a few out, so did we. We'll get there, slow start and we'll be settling into the program nicely in the mid-end of the season. Hampson, Betts, Waite, Scotland all back will tighten us up. Mick is great with the fringe players, he's getting some games into Lucas, Boots etc

Bring it on, we'll be fine, no wrist slitting please.

We are, I AM CARLTON!!!!

Brisbane saved us from them.

Haven't posted in a while but I need to today.

Can someone please teach Bootsma how to shepherd and not just jog behind and watch his team mate get run down. Is this not a required thing in football anymore?

Give the ball off, put your bleeping arms out boy!!!

Not clean enough across the board today. Experienced players of ours were far too fumbly.

Murphy failed dismally in the last when it was time to stand up and play a captains quarter. I heard Joel Selwood had 11 final term disposals at 100% efficiency today. Probably throw a couple of tackles in there as well.

Now that is leadership.

We need a few more steps backward before we can go forward unfortunately.

Kreuz was great, but like every other midfield type we have on the list he's great 1 way......

Jolly off before he served a sweat, their only backup plays ruck the whole game and ends up with the 3rd highest possessions on the ground...it really is symptomatic of what is so [REDACTED] up with this club....
