The gamestyle, as surprising as it is, didnt change. Just playing om and actually hitting targets and tackling

NO!


You're not even any good at bagging out our players.

Third year undersized player. Easy target. Plenty of faults - makes errors on the ground a plenty, doesn't take anywhere near enough marks in the back 50 to save himself, questions about his attitude and application.


.....and all you can put up is "Say no to Bootsma" and "NO!"?

If you're going to shoot an easy target from point blank range, at least do it with a bit of panache.

As for Nick Graham, I still don't get why so many Carlton supports have big wraps on him. From what I saw so far, he has a terrible disposal, average speed and seemed well beaten in all the games he played. He just doesn't look like he has it, but its early days... he has a lot to work on to become a good midfielder!!!


Sounds like a young Jobe Watson really.

I don't see the need to bring Robbo back. I don't think the team has missed him in the slightest. Plenty of other options. Disposal efficiency and Robbo don't go well together.

Robbo's a no-brainer for me. Hard nut, strong body, run all day.

I'd be looking at Lucas - offers very little for a mid - maybe Sub?

EFA. Next time he plays - spend 5 minutes watching him. He does a lot of walking and ball watching. When it twigs that he's in the wrong position - it's too late. Hopefully he's 2014's Jeremy Laidler.

The sky is also blue. What exactly are you gaining by potting him?

Robbo's not exactly the over-educated man's footballer.

Surely we'll reward form -- Malthouse mentioned Nicky Graham in his video address to members, but don't think he mentioned the other obvious candidate Brock McLean -- have his papers already been stamped?

Which is why he shouldn't come back in.

@#$%&! it. I hope he comes and does well.

If there's any game you want him to do well in, it'll be against West Coast. Make them feel like they missed out when they could have had him for peanuts. Give them something to make them have a go at him next trade week.

Good luck Das Boot.

I'm thinking new favorite player.

Wonder if we can swap our sponsorship to him next year?

I never potted him. Just said "No" to bringing him in.

I don't get why posters do it repeatedly on here. "NO. DON'T PICK BOOTSMA!", as if you're responding directly to the selection committee and if you say it enough, the outcome at the selection table will be that much different.
