What should Kouta's next contract be worth and for how long?

I say 1 year deals from now on at sayyyyyy...awwww......300k + 2k/game.

Sounds fair to me.

We may have the worst list, we may struggle to win the ball and hit our targets, we may be suffering a lack of confidence, but in Kouta we truly have a Captain Marvel. He may very well be overpaid and he and Allison may have screwed the club for every penny, but I cannot believe there'd be one Carlton fan who does not get a chill up their spine when Kouta comes out of a pack of players busting them apart ball in one hand passing off to the advantage of a teammate.

Knee injuries robbed the club and Anthony of some of his best years, but we have been privileged to watch this bloke play in the Navy Blue jumper.

KOUTA. RESPECT.

I'd go as far as saying he is the best, and most influential, captain we have had since Sticks.

Big call. He hasn't had the players around him that Sticks had, and for all Kouta's on field brilliance I don't think he'd hold a candle to Sticks in terms of off field leadership. Makes you realise just how bloody good we had it with Kernahan.

The more I see of Kouta on game day, the more I like, as I said, he really is a marvel. If only he had the likes of Silvagni, Bradley, Ratten, Dean, Sexton, Madden and the like to be lifted by his on field heroics.

Kouta is easily a much more honest, determined and (especially towards to kids) influential than Ratten, Bradley or McKay.

Sure, i understand that Rat's had a bad run with Injury and at the time of handing the captaincy over to McKay, kouta was in the same boat as Rat's....but god damn he's has proved wuite a few people wrong with his leadership.

Just think of it this way. Who out of all our players had the worst pre-season? That's right, the very same one who has not missed one minute of football and should easilly be winning our best & Fairest?

I've always liked footy, and i would've always barracked for Carlton because of my aunty, but when i was about 6 and just loved footy, not Carlton in particular, Kouta was the reason why i would take that extra interest in the Blues and he was the bloke that made me sit down and watch the Blues.

I remember the '99 prelim and just marvelling and what Kouta was doing in that last quarter. And i remember, for my birthday, my aunty got me a life size Kouta poster that said "To Chris, Happy 7th Birthday! Best Wishes Kouta!" Ahh the memories

Good 'ol Kouta. You gotta love the guy.

He's having a better season then the likes of Judd, Ball and all the other young guns. I actually reckon Kotua's career is underrated, especially this season.

If Kouta is prepared to play for us for what is a reasonable amount and he gets rid of that reprehensible fertilized turd of a human being David Allison as a manager, then I believe there is another 3 years left for Kouta as an AFL player.

This year and 2006 as an "extractor" of the ball in the mid-field - then once we have developed more mid-field support in 2007 he would make an excellent foil in the goal square to a leading Fevola.

Given that we've had Bradley and the short terms of Ratten and McKay since the big fella I don't think you're too far wrong there.

I think Kouta is into his second last year at the club.

I feel sorry for him really. He tries but he doesnt have the back up and is not a natural leader.
