Hey Sugarcane

What is culture? St Kilda in the 80's
or what??
what culture you suggest best fits us at CARLTON

Yarran is still a chance anyway.

Playing 3 taggers and a defensive forward seems a a bit OTT.

Fair enough. at least MM cant be accused of not giving our number 1 pick (back up Rukman -Utility) every opportunity to fulfill his potential. Again we await his coming of age

Two weeks ago we were average
One week ago there were Blue Skies ahead
This week we've swung back the other way



Anyone else noticed that in addition to Armfield being named at CHB each week, Walker is named at CHF?

id Like to see Armifield nominated as our 1st Ruck

interesting. So Ed Curnow gets a game ahead of Chris Yarran. Has Yarran peed on a shop window, hung out with criminals, rocked up pissed to training or comitted a crime ?

Last week's decision to play him as the sub was I thought the worst selection decision I've seen since I started following Carlton in 1969 (as a 6yo) and probably cost us the game. I can only guess that Yazz did something during last week to upset MM, and now he's dropped for sooking.

Thumping guaranteed now, but for Yazz I suppose an even bigger lesson learned, something akin to the message that Waite got when he cost us the game when he was suspended.


In Mick we must trust - there's no alternative.

Shit decision or not, Yaz should have taken it on the chin and been professional about it.

Has Curnow??

If carrazzo does take the field tomorrow, with Cachia and Curnow in the side playing tagging roles hope they let carrots run free and just play as an attacking midfielder.

When you play and beat below average side you only realize your false sense of achievement when you come up against the better sides again.
Our false sense of progress was evident from the season opener.

If Carrots does play, I doubt that after 5 weeks off, he'd have the engine for that role against this lot.
Sub is where my money is.

I think we will get thumped and Mick has a pretty good idea that's what is going to happen too.

It's about sifting through to see who is up for it.

If we do...Murphys Law says we cop an injury first 10 minutes

He went ok first game back last year.

How in the flower would you know what Mick's decision was in playing Yarran sub last week?
His behaviour afterwards only confirms what a soft primadonna he is. I actually hope the baby spends some time in the 2s and comes back a man.

If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you!

Maybe I've been on Mars, as I was sitting in the AFL Members last Friday, and didn't see any of this Yaz stuff.
As I understand it, he has apologised for his body language ( Wow, Richo dodged a few bullets there)
I love Mick but seriously why was he the sub in the first place?
Eddie, who got rubbed out for three weeks and was not fined by the club, ought to have been the sub.
Team balance? Yaz can go forward, back and midfield. Eddie can do two of those.
Complete howler by the coaching panel and it cost us 4 points against the lab rats.
I think the coaching panel should apologise.

They tormented Bootsma last time - like the mongrels they are. But it worked and we had to hide him, we were -1 down at half time I think.

I'd sacrifice Walker on Franklin this week as our second tall in defence, with Jamison back. Have Hendo CHF for the whole game (except if Hale gets too big for someone).

He was coming off a bung shoulder and could do more conditioning work, coming off a calf is totally different. Hope you're right though.

Bootsma has improved considerably this year compared to last season.

He'll be a lot better than last time.
