Geez we're a bunch of sad sacks. I couldnt decide which post to respond to so I'll sum up by saying.
1) Brisbane aren't good value at any price...let alone $14.50
2) People worried about this one were worried about Murph signing. Always something to worry about. Wayne loves you though...go worry with him.
3) My overrated opinion on Bower is based on him hands down beating Franklin and Reiwoldt when he was fit. Better than me not understanding modern football and not being able to recognise attacking defenders are gold and crabs are bad. Even T-Bird has recognised the stuff he was serving up was crap.
4) The only sleep Ratten has lost this week was over whether to have sandwiches or party pies at half time. He already knows the key to beating Brown is pressure through the midfield and F50
Thanks TBB.
Nice post.
The same people "glass half empty" year after year.
Devaluing the team. Devaluing the players. Devaluing progress.
Stuck in the scarring of the dark years.
I say it's time to move on.
There's a lot to like about this list: Player 1-35. We have some serious depth in quality. Don't focus on how young we still are because we are maturing right under your nose.
Firstly in order to see the value in the top 30 players on the list you have to respect who they are, what their credentials are, and what they bring that's a bit different to the next player to this great club. Not degrade them. You'll never see anything degrading players.
There lies the answer to your questions on players.
I'm so glad the Houla haters have almost completely disappeared.
I was disgusted with the treatment Stevens and Russell copped.
I'm glad people can see the value Setanta brings to the team when he's in, rather than his idiosyncracies.
Now, there's a reason why the MC pick Bower every time he's fit and in form. You just have to watch him in the preseason to know he's head, shoulders and feathers (being an emu) above most other talls in the team. If you respect the MC you don't need to question them, and they are doing a damn good job, regardless of how bad they, WH, Ratts is in your mind. Over rating, under rating...we all just generally uninformed punters. One thing we all should do is get on with being supporters.
We are a much better team in 2011, than we were in 2010, and all the players whether tall or small, in or out of the team improve on each year.
In the past, if we had missing Kreuzer, Henderson, Bower, White, Houlihan...we would not be so confident.
With or without the abovementioned I am confident against any team any time.
Ever heard the saying "on their day they can beat anyone" ? There's substance in that.
I have a bitof money on Carlton this year this year, and as usual I will win more than I lose. Such is the enjoyment being a Carlton supporter (note word "supporter").
Most of the person to person bets I make good money on is from negative Carlton supporters: they can't see trees for wood.
We are a damn good team this year...and I'm sure many of you will be surprised when we make the GF this year. Why not? I have plenty of reasons why we will. Have a llok at our list, our achievemnts thus far in 2011, the improvement still to come, and the players we will return from injury that we will add to the team to make it stronger.
We will win by more than 10 goals today. We should win by 15 goals.
