Oh I do, I try and call them out too. I know which board I am on. But Hawthorn have zero top talent coming through? How is that not a stupid statement? I like posting on oppo boards leading up to a game and rarely does it get met with such hostility. Only a few days ago I stood up for a...

You said that you couldn't understand why hawks fans dont think there is no top end talent coming through. None. That is a shit take mate no matter how many relatives of your barrack for the hawks. As for our 'needs', yeah you dont really have a clue dude.

Yeah good answer I'll stand corrected there. I've edited the post and decided to take a bit of my own medicine. Although I would argue the statement that the vets are the core. Not any more. Unless you are are calling Mitchell and OMeara vets?

Because we do mate. Lazy take. Just because one rebuild takes 10 years doesn't mean they all do. We are enjoying the season and watching this 'non existent top end talent' coming through but most of us are under no illusions. North are shit and we out ran Port and played out of our skins...

Can someone kind go into a bit more detail as to why the Blues would be a better shot in the wet? I've tipped your lot - just got a really good feeling about it - but I would of thought the bigger bodies of the Bombers would be better suited to the wet...?

That really sucks for Marchbank, he was really looking set for a big year. Hopefully it heals 100%.

Marchbank or Plowman. Plowman or Marchbank. It's a doozy. I'm in a draft league and have had this trade offered to me. I am at a loss trying to split the two even after watching a couple of Blues games. Going on the first month Plowman has the superior efficiency but Marchbank has more...

And we play our home game against the power at Etihad....

What did you think of the 'arc' Robinson ran in on for your second goal? It happens a dozen times in every game, the way way franklin has been singled out for this is a classic example of Aussie's and tall poppies.

All correct.

You honestly believe that Aitken was the only fella to lose his nerve after being belted as a kid????? How many more gifted kids were smacked around when young that we have never heard of? It was an effective way to nullify a bloke who was too fast or skillful for you. Part of the game back...

Just QFA. Continue.

As an outsider this is a very interesting thread. There was an awful lot of chest beating after the Tiges performance against us, then a lot of comparisons after you guys got done too. What is going to happen if Richmond do beat you in round 1?? I feel this board might implode... Either...

Poor example. He should be sacked anyway...

He is a passionate supporter and a legend of the club, but thats his problem. People who cannot distance themselves from their allegiances (like Wallsy) should not be commentating on national tv. Chappelli is similar. His post-match rant on a meaningless decision after the Fev poster game...

Jesus, for a 46 year-old, you're bloody precious, I think that Carlton fans can handle it. Besides, Im only agreeing with the majority of you. Miles away from the worst thing said in this thread.

Why was my post deleted?? I wasn't having a go at Carlton. I just suggested that last year's slogan was better as it was more Carlton like. ie arrogant. I meant it in a good way. Or was it because I suggested that saying 'at least people will notice us' is as far from arrogant as you...

He's right though. There were some odd decisions both ways, but the Stevens one cannot be understood. Textbook holding the ball. If you'd like to try an explain it please do.

Fev was dangerous when Carlton were counter-attacking, when he had the space to lead into or a chance to be one-on-one, he was far to quick for Campbell and too strong for Murphy. As I said above, a 50 would of given Hawthorn time to get numbers back and set up the defence. You ended up with...

Twas probably 50, but in the heat of the game I thought the original free was dropping the ball to us. Upon watching it again it probably wasnt but it shows that in the heat of the game we can all be a little bias. What I am getting at was that Buddy probably thought he was playing the...

Exciting maybe for success-starved Blues fans but ultimately it'sunproven. Settle down Blue-boys.

It's funny because it's true. :thumbsu:

:) ... I'm going to let that to go through to the keeper, have a look at the draw when it comes out...

I don't fear Carlton, in fact I am looking forward to them eventually being competitive, its good for the game.. I also don't hate Carlton, my entire family are Carlton. But I don't respect Carlton. Not in the slightest. Sorry.

What the thylacine said. :o

Perhaps Bluebear should of got some posts in earlier on in this thread, then he wouldn't have left it upon himself to make a late, but fruitless, charge....

I understood, but my point was why didn't he put someone there? To be charitable? Sorry Im not having that... Its horses for courses mate, we may have been looking for Buddy a lot for the exact reason you gave, but Ratten couldn't afford to bank on this with the cattle Buddy had around him...

Sorry mate but Ratten left Buddy one on one to be charitable??? I doubt he seriously believed that Buddy wouldn't get 2 goals for the game so it would have been pretty daft for Ratten to triple team Buddy for the sake of spite and leave space for Roughead, Williams, Osborne et al early on. Call...

I think this sums up why so myself and so many others were baffled by some of the whingeing. I mean this in a good way but we all know that Carlton are generally disliked (most Blues fans I know love this fact!) and I believe that a lot of it came from doing the sort of thing the Hawks did to...
