the boys and caro from 3AW are talking Carlton few things mentioned.........
- Nick Stevens was on and said the neck is fine its just general soreness. He receives treatment on the neck everyday. Its easy to aggravate. Said all the boys have to lift. Said he feels sorry for Fev cause he cops all the blame when they lose when everyone should be blamed
- Everyone absolutely bemused with our structure especially kicking into the wind in the first quarter
- Tony Shaw said 'the way Fev was used in the first quarter was as ridiculous as i've seen in a coaching role'
- Robert Walls said if he was coaching against Carlton he would love seeing Fev outside of the 50
- Questioning Bryce Gibbs and Murphys defensive pressure
- A caller rang through asking if they think there is to much ex Carlton influence in the coaching box. They don't think thats an issue with Montogomery, Harvey and RIley
- Tony Shaw has doubts about Armfield, Robbo and Austins ability
- Saying Yarran is about two years away from getting his fitness to AFL level. They agree Ziebel and Rich miles ahead of him
- Judd gets no protection from any of his team mates which is a waste
- They think Houlihan is in our best 22 only cause of his skills
- For Carlton to be a top 5 side Simon Wiggins wont be part of it
- Shaw thinks Robbo lacks leg speed and is a worry
- The best point made by Walls that to many players in previous years got games because we are bottom 4 side and now that we're on the way up some of them are being found out and turned over
- They like the look of Hampson and Kruezer
Everyone, including blind Freedy, knows that Houla is ahead of Wiggins in class...and in our best 22.
Wiggo has peaked...got to his 100 games, and whilst I was expecting a miracle to happen (based on NAB form)...it's over.
Get Houla in the forwardline and lets play to kick a winning score.
