Suprised to see not many posters are including Scotland in the First 10 Picked, I personally think he is in the Top 7 quite easily. 1. He plays his heart out every week for every minute of the game 2. Kicks beautifully on BOTH sides of the body 3. Provides run/carry and long kicking 4. Wins...

Words can't describe it... Shattered doesn't even begin to cover it. In the end we tried hard but just didn't want to win. You don't miss goals, miss tackles and drop chest marks if you want to win finals. I think as a supporter I have been coaxed into this notion of being happy that the players...

Interesting to see Murph in the votes so often throughout and also Gibbs after Saturday nights game. I have been so disappointed with these two players in the last 5/6 weeks, very weak- not soft as they do go into contests, just weak in their tackling and intent. Murph had a good second half...

All good questions and points... Wasn't saying I necessarily think we would be better off just a thought I had seen as Fev ended up going anyway. I do believe the Eagles would of taken the deal, Judd chose Carlton, he was going anyway and Fev hadn't made quite as many off field mistakes at that...

Agree with the Masten assessment, not convinced he is a superstar of any sort/ But we lost Fev anyway so if we had of traded him earlier in essence we would have Kennedy instead of Henderson , pick 3 from the the 2008 draft and we would of kept pick 11 from last years draft if we had a mid from...

Had a thought recently with the form of Josh Kennedy at West Coast recently. Would Carlton have been better off in hindsight possibly trading Fev for Judd- straight swap and keeping Kennedy and Pick 3? We may have struggled more in 2008/2009 but the way the players up forward now (Setantas...

The holding the ball in the air tactic has less to do with limiting the scoring of the opposition and more to do with resting our players and pumping out the rotations. Last night at the game I noticed that everytime the ball was held in the air it gave a chance for the wingmen/ half forwards...

Our 22 should look like this depending on match-ups: B: Bower Jamison Carrazzo HB: Scotland Thornton Gibbs C: Simpson Judd Walker HF: Yarran Waite Houlihan F: Betts Henderson Robinson R: Kreuzer Murphy Joseph I/C: O Hailpin...

Yep thanks for that will do.

Cheers, Yeh I told them about the name difference on the card and all they replied back in the email was that they would send the silver football out straight-away. No mention of the name error.

Glad Walker, Houlihan and eddie are fitter than ever and got something out of a bad situation but geez this drinking stuff gets blown out of proportion in the media. The day the story came out about the boat cruise how many big stories were going on around Australia/World= not many. Slow news...

Hey Guys, Quick question about the memberships, might be stupid but I haven't been a member since I was a junior in 95,96,97. I bought just a general admission Football silver and a junior membership last week. I got the package today and it only had the junior membership pack in it and the...

Funny this thread should start.. The second time we played Essendon this year when they beat us by a fair margin I decided before the game (I was at the ground) to take McBurney's stats in terms of free kicks he paid against Carlton. Results were interesting. McBurney paid 11 free kicks to...

B: Carrazzo Jamison Bower HB: Scotland Thornton Walker# C: Waite Gibbs# Simpson HF: Stevens* O'Hailpin Robinson F: Kreuzer Fevola Betts R: Warnock Judd* Murphy^ IC: Hampson Russell Hadley^ Joseph EMG: Austin Armfield Browne Yarran- in that order...

Traralgon would have to be a show of winning the flag in all four grades this year. Reserves and Fourths are undefeated at the turn of the fixture. Thirds have lost one game and the seniors have won 4 in a row including two wins by 150 points plus the last two weeks.

C.Johnson out- Scotland in Joseph out- Carrazzo in Wiggins (susp)- Setanta in Stevens out- Bannister in I have loved Stevens since he came over from Port but ever since he hurt his neck he just isn't as hard and he is poor in transition from attack to defence. Bring Setanta in for...

1. Lloyd has probably kicked more than 75% of his career goals from dubious free kicks, ie Bret Thornton bumps his shoulder and he gets a kick. 2. Dempsey kicks a goal from a 50m penalty after Grigg legitimately attempts to spoil in a marking CONTEST, yes it is supposed to be a contest. 3...

One great quarter- YES, but how many quarters has he played out of the square with ball being kicked to him- ONE. Its hard for players to sit in a hole 50m out than 20, they just block the hot spot. If we play Kreuze and Fev together with Kreuze in behind and give them all the space we will win...

Fev needs to be 30m out leading to say 45-55m out with the big Kreuze in behind him. Fev kicks the ball a mile, let him loose further up the ground. Kreuze can be the long option. Look at Richmond since they moved Richo, being too one dimensional hurts sides and Richmond have benefitted through...

As a few posts have mentioned Houlihan is a HFF, remember the chainsaw anyone? Pagan ruined the last few years for houlihan and matty lappin by playing them as backmen who weren't accountable enough. Houlihan is the perfect half forward flank and i'd bring him in as soon as he is fit. I know...

B: Carrazzo Setanta Jamison HB: Walker Waite T-Bird C: Scotland Bentick<> Simpson HF: Stevens# Fevola Murphy* F: Betts Kreuzer Fisher R: Cloke Judd# Gibbs* INT: Hampson Houlihan Pfeiffer<> Armfield EMER: Grigg Russell Browne I truly believe that if we move Fev to CHF we...

Lets just say Daisy enjoys bouncing the footy. He is inconsistent with his bounces and sometimes its fine but other times it seems as though he is bouncing every two steps with nobody around him to possibly make himself look flashy when he could take one bounce and run the rest and kick. But I...

Actually its a bad habit to get into. I do it myself when playing and when your bouncing the footy it becomes harder to look ahead to what is in front of you. The majority of coaches will tell you to run at least 8-10 before trying to bounce it. Thomas does it every two steps.

After the job Gibbsy did on Cornes, I'd like to see Gibbs go to Thomas which I think he did last time and make Thomas accountable the other way. Armfield's skills are ok but Gibbs can really hurt teams. Make Thomas watch Gibbs, Gibbs is the complete package and in my opinion is a better all...

Medhurst is a player who gets up when the team is up, similar to that of Didak and also to an extent Thomas. Lets see how we go if the pies get on top in the midfield which is highly unlikely and Medhurst and his coat tail riding buddies get some good supply. Jamison isn't going to be a gun, he...

I'm happy with the development of players like Grigg and also the fact Bentick is holding his own in a midfield with the likes of Judd, Stevens and Murphy. I wonder if Ratten likens Bentick to himself when Ratten played with the Bradley's, Williams, Kouta's etc.

I agree, Setanta should be on the field in our best 22. Has some mongrel and can't question his committment. His skills have improved markedly and he is strong in one on one contests. Doesn't read the play and use the ball as well as T-Bird but is better one on one. Leave him, t-bird, waite...

Can't drop Carrots, he is a ball magnet and his skills are ok, someone just needs to remind him which way we are kicking because he goes backwards so often. He gets himself into trouble looking to over-create the play, just leave him in a shut down role down back and tell him to look for his...

Hey guys, there is no way Fev being rubbed out would of benefitted us at all. Fev took Harry' O to the cleaners last time and if he goes to him again i'd hope Fev does some damage again.:)
