I know what Agro will think of this piece of journalistic crawling, but it's nice to see some positive press, even if it is from Mike "the twit" Sheehan.

Blues' Odd Couple

I've been a big rap for Carrots for a while now.

Now, if he could only get his kicking skills working better.....

I just finished reading this article in the HS and was coming here to post it :P

Please don't jump on the bandwagon now Mikey.....a good article nonetheless.

Many still have their doubts over Carrots, but 42 of a possible 47 games since his debut is a great achievement for a player who came spent 3 years on the rookie list (two with Geelong).

Feel good story about Andrew Walker and (mostly) Andrew Carrazzo...

And another quoting Kade Simpson on Tom Hawkins and reporting on Carlton training...

Mike Sheahan is a total tool - the horse has well and truly bolted turd.

Carazzo & Walker were showing signs well before this years NAB Cup - yet all he chose to do was focus on the negative crap.

THis article is totally for Sheahan's benefit in that he can say that he recognised Carazzo and Walker's talents.

Both Walker and Carrots have improved markedly with their kicking and confidence this year.

Long may it continue.

Thanks to Bradley and Ratten.

This is a big year for both these blokes.

Hope neither of them has the obligatory 'crap game after a write up in the paper'.

Would be a good sign if they play well.

I had no idea Carrots was 187 either.

I always had him pegged as a bit less than Wiggo.

There's a determination about both Walker and Carazzo which make them both a pleasure to watch. Walker's goal in the first quarter last week was inspirational, and he has the potential to be the best player in the competition in a couple of years.

Great to see some recognition, no matter who is bestowing it.

Carrots + Kicking = valuable player

They better bloody not.

I've got both of them in my Dream Team.
