    Every club can play finals in 2010 - if they field this "best 22" each week!

    Getting closer, I think we need to get a few bigger bodies in the team: B Thornton Jamison Joseph HB Scotland Bower Carazzo C Murphy McLean Simpson HF Russell Waite Walker F Betts Kreuzer O'hAilpin FOLL Warnock Gibbs Judd INT Hampson Garlett Grigg Johnson E Henderson Houlihan Robinson...

    If anyone could Captain/Coach in the modern era, who would it be?

    Tommy Harley could have, no problems. The guy is one of the most underrated football brains and person manager of the modern era. I would say he has more to do with Geelong's dominance than Bomber Thompson.

    Re-Stamping and Re-Tiring

    The Hawthorn Football Club springs to mind. Hodge, Franklin, Roughead, Ellis, Young and their backline all had diminished returns due to injury or lack of fitness and form. A collective increase of 10-20% is not out of their capabilities. Setanta O'hAilpin hasn't hit his stride yet through...

    Mark Williams is the worst player in the AFL!

    Not while Xavier Clarke and Jason Laycock still strap on the boots.

    Most memorable Carlton win and why?

    One of the classics for mine was Round 14 1991 at Princes Park. West Coast had won 12 straight and looked invincible, we had a pretty ordinary season to that point but Simon Minton-Connell kicked a late goal from a pretty tight angle and we got up by 3 points. For classic individual moments, Big...

    Round 1 Preview: Collingwood v Adelaide - By DaVe86

    And I thought there wouldn't be anything else to smile about this weekend. Complain all you like pies fans, umpires or not you had the chance to win the game but fell short. Pendles bad miss in the last quarter the best of them. And as always, be in front, get the benefit of the doubt. Craig's...

    Round 1 - Richmond vs. Carlton

    One more than most of the players who wore a yellow sash in the game. At least you have the Melbourne Victory ACL campaign to look forward too.

    The ONE Player....

    Considering his mother is Geoff and Gary Ablett Seniors sister, yes it would be going too far. A father that played the record amount of games in one of the most dominant teams in AFL/VFL history, Gary Jr, Nathan and Luke all have medallions. There is no way he is even top 5 in his family. Xav...

    Richo Vs Lloyd

    Then I am lying because I would take Richo, honestly. Would Lloyd's lack of versatility immediately cause him to lose points? Lloyd fans are banking on his accuracy in front of goal proving he is the more accomplished. Who would you take at 21, Lloyd or Lance Franklin? Lloyd is a vastly...

    Richo Vs Lloyd

    The opening post asks who was better, better at what? The Lloyd fans should take that into account. If the question was who is the better kidney puncher, diver or squealer then Lloyd is your man. If however it is who do is better at entertaining the crowd, over a longer period, contributor to...

    Richo Vs Lloyd

    So you are saying that minus Matthew Lloyd Essendon has been a clearly inferior team to the Tigers for the last 12 years? Mate I wish that was true. So if I get what you are saying James Hird, Michael Long, Mark Mercuri, Scott Lucas, David Hille, Dustin Fletcher and a number of others were just...

    The ONE Player....

    The blues aren't even established enough to say they won't go down even if Fev fires. All I am saying is that Essendon will go nowhere if Laycock gets a game. Hille is a great ruckman who has established himself. Laycock wouldn't put his head over the ball if it disguised itself as a pillow...

    which of these 5 teams

    Tigers and Blues to make the finals, they get a practice this year before the big dance. Carlton v Richmond in the 2010 Grand Final. I have been saying this since the end of the 07 season.

    Richo Vs Lloyd

    Matty Richardson by a country mile. I feel as a Carlton fan I can comment on temperamental forwards as Richo and the Fev have few peers. This is kind of similar to the Lockett v Dunstall debate in that Lloyd is indisputably good at his job. Week in week out he is genuine, gets results and kicks...

    Pendlebury or Gibbs?

    Maybe I am watching the wrong games but I don't see Pendlebury as anything more than a handy player and a solid contributor. There are a number of Magpies I would rate superior to him in the ball moving, getting, receiving, flair and goal sense departments. You want to talk long term proof...

    Pendlebury or Gibbs?

    Pendlebury is a decent player but there is a ceiling on his potential. Bryce Gibbs is a Rolls Royce, he will go down as one of the best #1 draft picks of the era. Massive call from the fan of a team whose best XVIII is a wh's who of wusses and shirkers.

    The ONE Player....

    Michael Jamison to do his best Matty Scarlett impersonation and hold down Full Back whilst consistently beating the best opposition forward. I will be amazed if Laycock plays 5 games this year. If he did that would only emphasise the drastic shortfall in talls the bombers have. If Gumbleton...

    Are MCC Members Happy?

    As an MCC member I feel that the only reason Melbourne FC should get the $mill is to help them relocate to West Sydney or Hobart. With an administration that is underequipped to perform satisfactory business functions and a meager membership base that only turns up when games are at the MCG and...

    Most enjoyable GF you've seen not involving your team?

    I agree, a great tough start with some fantastic moments but I thought that this years was the best I have seen. The most genuine, tough contest I have seen, shading the 05 and 06 GF's. Plus we got to see that mug Scarlett shown up, lol.

    Longest time on an AFL/VFL list for the least games?

    At last a thread that was made for my little legs!! What was Steinfort's (Geelong and Collingwood) record? I'm sure he spent plenty of time on their lists but injuries restricted him.

    Top 5 full forwards and CHF's since 1970

    Being born in '76 it's hard to do justice to Hart, Hudson et al. The Best I have seen are as follows: Full Forwards: 1. Tony Lockett 2. Jason "The Chief" Dunstall 3. Gary Ablett 4. Tony Modra (Was never the same after the knees) 5. Allen Jakovich (Pure entertainment value) Centre Half Forward...

    Top 5 full forwards and CHF's since 1970

    You use Brereton as your example of delivering, isn't he the guy Rhys-Jones flogged to get the Norm Smith in 87? In the Oxford picture dictionary of phrases next to "Captains Goal" sits Sticks in his 80's mullet glory smiling back, the longest serving and greatest leader in the history of the...

    Who is the most hated AFL footballer?

    Jason Laycock, there is just something about a big bloke who is scared to impose himself on any sort of physical level that makes me mad. He has the smallest pea heart of them all.

    Fevola 99 Merged Threads - The whinges, the hate, the commiserations and congratulations.

    Re: Carlton Supporters Complaining about not gifting Fevola his 100 As a Carlton fan I would have loved to see the Fev notch up the ton, the interest in him and Buddy made what was otherwise a dead rubber a more interesting match. But that was just it, the interest was in the will they or won't...
