FRROST
Team Captain
I just read through this thread and have a few replies. Quoting all would take too long
Brock - Yes dominated both intra clubs, This was without Judd or Murph and carrots/gibbs played on the other team. Don't get me wrong I rate him very highly as he almost gave a us a finals birth last year, I just don't think he is worthy of being in your starting sc teams because you should be picking 3-4 Premiums and he should not be compared in the same group as GAJ/Pendles/Beams/Swan/Murph/Judd/Kennedy/Cotch/Lids/Dal/Mitchell/Selwood/Danger... I would pit him up with the likes of Foley/Bartel/Montagna/Kerr so yes as you can see still a good group but a group where you don't know what you will get other then a 100-110 avg at the end (eg Gp1: 110, 130, 120, 143, 124, 150 compared to Gp2:70, 115, 102, 61, 130, 102 & <$100k)
Kreuz - Not when we have a good group of talls that can play ruck, I still think his load will be managed this year to try and get a full year into him. Having said that this will be his best year but just SC wise not as good as Roughy/Ryder/Coz/NicNat/Goldy. Look at Luenberger at a much cheaper price for a similar return as a second ruck.
Duigz/Jamo/Wato - Duigz is leadership group and great player so 100% games if fit. Jamo same deal but FB so his game includes 50% spoils whereas you will find Duigz running with the ball out of def and also going for a few grabs. Watson has dominated but I think our def is Jamo/Duigz/Laidler/Hendo as talls and Touhy/Yaz as smalls, Watson will struggle for game time which I love that we finally have a solid def with depth that can actually play!
Betts - Whoever said garlett will play more in the middle then betts is kidding himself. They are both small fwds and they both win us games when they play in the fwd not in the middle. If anything (and we saw is last year) betts will have a run in the middle, which was evident on sunday with the goal of the round! Don't pick either of them up in your SC just sit back and watch their magic get us to finals!!
Yarran - BAM BAM BAM, Mick's gameplan suit no player better. This bloke at $360k will finish with a 110avg and be your 6th Back come SC finals! Gibbs remains teh best Carlton DEF because he has more run in the middle/fwd area of the ground so goald will be on the stats sheet whereas yaz will be def/mid and just rack up disp and assist's
Rucks- Carlton has 3 very good ruckman, Kreuz/Warnock/Hampson. No1 else will play in this position all year if they remain fit. Hampson goes fwd and takes the grabs, also his kicking is not bad at all! if Waite does not come back then I think he will be our number 1 FF, Warnock has no other talent then his height and Tap work (would be best tap ruckman in the league! great vision!) but I can't see a 3 ruck team sheet so my vote goes to Kreuz/Hamo unless warnock can build on his work rate/agility and kicking.
Hope that is all good for any non carlton supporter. All yu blue boys on here know we are seriously a chance for the flag I am sure!! Bring it on!!!
One LAst thing, Lucas - Kiss goodbye that Vest mate you are starting week in week out! GUN!
