We've had so many players come and go from our club in recent years, many showing potential but never able to show anything more. Who do you miss the most of those that have left us and/or who do you think could've been a good player for us if given the right circumstances.

Some that come to mind for me instantly are
Darren Hulme
Jim Plunkett
Trent Sporn

Hulme and Jimmy I liked because they weren't pretty and very hard workers, which we could use right now. Sporn on the other hand could've been that stingy small defender we are screaming for now.

Anyone else?

These players were really too slow and not up to it.....even more so now.

Andrew Phillips was very talented; struck down by injury too early.

Damien Lock showed promise; then fell away.

Southby at FB and Doull, McKay and Silvagni across HB are missed.

I miss Fraser Brown. Although the umpires would crucify him in this soft modern game.

Barnaby French is another honest toiler I'd certainly pick over our current ruck option.

I agree that those guys weren't the quickest or most skillful, but they could certainly give us a bit of presence against bigger-bodied teams.

Are you sure about that?..........Plunkett was only 178cm and 76kg......Sporn was (supposedly) 188cm and only 84kg; and Hulme was 175cm and 77kg.....roughly the same as Eddie Betts.

Hardly a trio to strike fear into an opposition these days.

I don't mean size-wise, but in their workrate and commitment. Whoever lines up on them would know they'll have to fight to get that ball. Also, can you imagine Hulme standing by watching as Murphy gets smashed time and again?

(if it isn't obvious I've always been a pup fan :-D )

I miss Braddles, diesel, Ratten, Brown, and Kouta dominating the guts,

I miss Sticks, spalding, and co dominating up forward,

I miss Sos, Dean, Mckay and Sexton cleaning up down back.....

I miss football,

And most of all i miss the Carlton Football Club........

I know it's all coming together, but it seems so far away.

I miss the tight tought types we had in our glory years and we will never re visit these times without this toughness again
i.e.
Hickmot
Ratten
Williams
Hogg
Dean
SOS
Dominator
Brown
Rice

These guys had heart and did their jobs week in week out. IMO we currently have only a handful who are prepared to do the hard yards every week. Those that aren't prepared to do this are not required at Carlton. They are only making up the numbers.

Brown. Saw him in the social club last night and wanted to beg him to pull the boots on.
