going for another big name ready made player will be difficult and if we do get one we will take over collingwood as public enemy no.1 when it comes to other clubs dealing with us, and we may even take over being the most hated team (not that thats always a bad thing). i think ive said it...

i'd say with bannister now out for a month and the team up and running, now seems a good time to give dennis armfield a run. i'd say he could play a similar role to what banno had been doing (and quite well) at the start of the year, and with the rest of the team and more importantly the...

awesome, grigg starting to look good

anyone who says they dont WANT kerr is clearly a moron, however whether we want the messy transfer, salary cap squeeze and potential off field issues is debatable. he'ed be good to have if it didnt cost us much, but that'll never happen. i'd rather see the club chase someone post season who...

considering the time he's been (and will be) out, and also the complete lack of pre-season he had, i'd be thinking once hes ready to play again they'll give him some time in the bullants to get some match fitness up. i dont think hes the kind of player yet that can come back from 12 weeks of...

it'll be hard for new orlenes to make the finals though, as they're still very young inexperienced, and in thier conference gotta get through teams like pheonix and the lakers and heaps of others with a lot more playoff experience, and even if they do make the finals apart from detroit and my...

Re: 23. Adam Hartlett in a team with a shortage of major key position talent, i think how far hartlett progresses will have a major bareing on how quickly carlton can rise back to the top. to me theres a lot of ashley hansen about him, taken 2nd round in a draft that has seen a lot of players...

Foley has had 1 good year, a pretty damn good year i must admit, but still only 1. i'll be interested to see if he can back it up this year, and if he can id probably take him over walker, but who knows walker seems a late developer, and could have the year foley had last year (or even better)...

we definately have the stock to become a major force in years to come, its just a matter of how well and quickly they develop. i also think though that we have enough talent and skill in the players aged 24+ group, that if certain younger players can perform a little above expectation this year...

now before i start let me say i think us making the top 8 this year is a possibility, not an expectation. i realistically think we'll finish 9-12. apologies if this has been said 100 times already, but as i was watching the south africa game the other day it got me thinking about which areas of...

what about armfield?

off field its definately sensational. couldnt be much better unless we got bill gates on board. but onfield i find it hard to surpass the year, i think end of 85 it was, when we recruited bradley kernahan and motley all at the same time, if motley had a full career would have been the best...

was anyone else a little shocked to read that hoops has now played the most games for carlton on the list? and hes only 25? i guess thatd make nick stevens the most experienced, and he just missed a whole year so he'll be rusty. shows we'll really be lacking experience next year, which also...

i dont think any real supporter would ever want to see the club fold or merge, but ya gotta remember some of us in our late teens early 20's were only very young during our last success of 95, and even 99 is a hazy memory. we haven't truely experienced carlton for what it truely is, and that is...

someone else started a thread with the title "this is what we're missing" and it was a link to a video of rhys-jones. this is an element that cloke can definately add to our team, we'll need him firing next year throwing his weight around to help protect the young fellas, doesn't matter so much...

Luke brennen wasnt mature age. he was only 21 i think. if they're over 23 they can't have been on a list before

we all know now sporn was not a good draft choice at all, and whats worse is the pick we traded to geelong to get murphy back ended up being used on steve johnson, whos had his troubles but is a damn good player. the whole situation was a massive stuff up by us, and it wasnt an isolated case...

you can have 6 on the bench in the pre-season can't ya? itd be good to get a bit of game time into the "mature" age players (feels weird calling judd that he's only 24!). sort of just ease them in to make sure they have match fintess come rd 1, but at the same time the frist time we see judd...

talking to my geelong supporting friend last year before the draft, he laughed at me when i suggested that selwood should go no.2 behind gibbs. now he thinks the sun shines out of his pants. selwood was underated before the draft because he missed nearly 12 months of under 18 footy because of...

Howat to me always seemed to be more interested in doing flashy things and tyring to make himself look good so he could keep getting games rather then doing the team things like blocking, making space, sacrificial running etc. although i didnt watch too many richmond games (the carlton games...

with ratten saying they're not gonna go full tilt at the pre-season comp, and wtih the ability to have an extended bench, maybe they'll play all 3 of cloke hampson and aisake to see which ones get the green light come round 1. would be good to see them all anyway we gotta remember that hampson...

what about murphy?

the only reason jamison wasnt elevated was cause we couldn't maintain the other two on the rookie list and there wasnt enough space on the senior list for him, but it doesn't matter because he can be a nominated rookie anyway. probably not a bad idea to keep him on the rookie list considering...

Did anyone else watch the video on the carlton website? if so did anyone else think they saw teague in it? or anyone who went to training for that matter? itd be awesome if they were keeping himround the club, would mean theres a far greater carlton influence in the picking of the bullants team

I guess now that all the players are back at training it means all our delistings are finalised. can anyone confirm this? how many draft picks does this mean we'll have (considering jacko and aisake will be promoted)

its not just that we have depth, but it looks like some of these young guys will have to start fighting for their spot as opposed to just being given a run to see what they can do. the team won't really start going up the ladder until every man in the 22 has earnt their spot, and know that if...

i was at work yesterday (a fitness and rec centre), and as i was getting my lunch i saw ryan jackson and jordan russel walk in to use our massage therapy section. not that exciting i know, but one thing i noticed is that jackson looked in incredible shape, was much bigger then russel. they were...

i think for geelong it came down to a choice between promoting Grima or Longergan, and there was no way the couldn't promote Lonergan. Geelong also have a massively tight salary cap, and another club may have offered him more money which geelong couldnt match forcing them not to promote him...

remember we all thought cloke was no good and were angry when we picked him up and had a good 5 games before he was injurred... but then again cloke doesnt look like he's gonna fall over whenever he runs or jumps. if we cant get a decent uncontracted player we should just draft one of the kids...

took the words right out of my mouth (or keyboard perhaps), snapped one from just inside 50 that game, and set up a few aswell if my memory serves us correctly. houlihan was only ever put down back to stem the flow cause we've been getting beaten so badly for a long time, now with a better team...
