Fisher is an interesting one. Do we play him across the half forward line where he can take the marks and provide a link to go forward? His kicking often lets him down and we can't afford poor delivery into the forward line. Or do we play him very deep, in the goalsquare, where he can take the grabs and have some relatively easy shots on goal?

Sorry if my opinions closely match that of my father could it be because I have lived at home for 17 years, gone to the football with my father for 13 years followed Carlton all my life that there is a slight possibility that my opinions about Carlton may closely match that of my fathers its not like he is Darth Vader and I am Luke Skywalker.

There are a lot of things I disagree with my father on for example on the time I can come home on a Friday or Saturday Night in particular.

With regards to Carlton I firmly disagreed with the trade for Brock McLean yet my dad thinks we should at least wait another season before passing judgement, Dad wants to trade Jarrad Waite because he thinks he is plays dumb and undisciplined football yet I think we would be crazy to trade him. On the other hand we both agree that Brett Ratten is not the coach we need to take Carlton forward. We both loved Brett Ratten as a great player of the club but its not a crime that he cant coach plenty great players of the game have proven they cant coach Tim Watson being a recent example.

Jimmae if you have a problem with MY opinions fine just bear in mind that my opinions are based on a lot of things (as are everyone elses).

My dad and I always have a robust discussions about a lot of things and if I don’t agree with some things I tell him, if we agree on certain things I am not embarrassed to say so.

So if you have a problem with that then bad luck for you, maybe you should address your own “dad” issues first.

wow....fish!

is anyone else a little surprised with this one? IMO all he offers is a great pair of hands. Lets hope he realises he needs to put in a big one to extend his stay in the 1's

thats shizen!


damn i'm angry.

are we going to play ellard for one game every 3 years!

lets bring in a tall with poor ball skills when the balls on the deck, who can't apply any defensive pressure into a game where it's going to be wet and windy.

thats just shithouse.

our MC is !@#$%&

I would have said our worst players last week were Russell, Ellard, Garlett, Jamison, Walker & Gibbs, but Jeff was probably always likely to be in need of a bit of coaching, the MC don't like relieving Russell or Jamison, Gibbs is way too good to be sin-binned in the VFL and Walker even at his worst runs all day and throws a spanner in the works for the opposition. That leaves Ellard unfortunately.

Would have preferred no change.
