Some of the sentiment here is shocking.
He hasn't been the best player for us but what would you say if he went out and kicked 5 for us at FF? You lot will probably be the first people praising the bloke.
I haven't been the biggest supporter of him but some of you are telling me that Hartlett and Edwards could do the job when they've failed to do it in the VFL?
Who else is going to play as a KP forward for us? Care to name any options?

Fevola and Kreuzer...there's a start....next?
Fevola and Thornton...there's another go...what are your thoughts CC?
Yep, we draft one. As for this week, it doesn't matter. Play Hampson forward. Wouldn't mind Thornton forward actually.
The thing that really gets me is that people want poor form rewarded. Hartlett, Edwards don't play all that well and they get games. What kind of message does this send to the playing group?
That we have a very young and new list and we don't know enough about the players because of this background.
Players don't play well in non Carlton jumpers, on terrible and dangerous surfaces out in the open and miles away from home in the severe wind; Bendigo. Receiving ordinary delivery doesn't represent the effectiveness of their positioning. Being coached by first year coaches trying to learn the caper at the players' expense....I could go on.
Things aren't right at Carlton in a lot of areas. Yes we've improved, but we still don't know enough about our list and the fact that many players have gone backwards this year tells me all is not well on the development front.
