That's cos he's been in a good paddock..........Acres.......Land.........Paddock, you with me here?
Anyway l thought it was funny & had a chuckle to myself

I don't get it

 

[CJMB]

Yeah 100%, same as Curnow. Nothing wrong with that because players should play within their limitations and to their strengths. But I think LOB has the higher cap because all he has to add is size.

I tend to agree, but there’s a bit of ‘something’ about Cotts though.

I’m not sure which is the one that will reach greater heights. Or what those heights will be.

Both will likely have to really perform to hold out Hollands, particularly as the season progresses.

All 189cm of him

If you could time-travel Big Nick to today from 1970, he'd play as a 3rd forward.

Even after getting rid of Setters we still have 3 mids taller than him, not to mention a much maligned lockdown med/small defender…

So what you're saying is we should build a time machine and send Jack back to 1969 and pick up the two grand finals we lost?

I'll get the flux capacitor, you rustle up a faraday cage!

 

[The Return of the Paf]

Both Cotts and LOB will be in the gun after each game to get dropped on these threads

That's reasonable enough.

and first to be named as replacements the week after they get dropped

- we know thats guaranteed

That's not.

 

[kenhunter]

I was going to say, I've grown up in Sydney, I've never heard of Marrickville residents being 'tougher' haha. Must be a more historical thing.

I think Jeff Fenech "the Marrickville Mauler" had something to do with it

[Michael Jezz]

I would play cunners round 1 if he plays well in the practice matches, even as 23rd man. 2 AFL practice matches are equivalent to anything he gets in the VFL. We will need as much run and carry as we can field to match the tiger ball carriers

Venture into the injury thread MJ - apologies in advance.

 

[Ash24]

Anyone know what's going on with Owies? Haven't noticed him in any of the recent match sim videos. Hopefully he's not injured as it would suck having both him and Corey Durdin out.

What's wrong with Durds?

Calf, I believe it was posted here

Damn, I missed it. Based on our injury history, I'll assume it's torn off the bone until i hear otherwise

Cotts is more charismatic

Reckon the Saints already have theirs operating in full swing.
Have you seen the crew they’ve assembled

Big Nick & Ragsy at training

You would be amazed at how invested Big Nick and Ragsy are in the team at the moment. Ragsy in particular is in contact on a regular basis. It is great to see he made it down to the club in person.

Got good write ups in both January and February open training in the no discussion blogs.

No word of an injury and I would assume that he is playing on Friday (hopefully)

Mic'd Up | Ollie returns to his primary school

New Blue Ollie Hollands was mic'd up at his former primary school as apart of Carlton's community camp in Wodonga.

Who is that third guy with Ollie and Kennedy?...just ...cant...place ....him

If Mark Robinson could time travel maybe he’d want to take back that despicable article he wrote trying to retro remove John Nicholls from the AFL team of the century to shoe horn Simon Madden in.

If nicholls was born 60 years later, he would be 10 cm taller

If Madden was born 20 years earlier he’d have fainted as many times as Len Thompson.

Big Nick ****ing legend

Bradley won our B&F in a losing GF side and again in 1988....you can accept 'softness' if the other parts of your game are top notch

probaby a bit unfair to compare O'Brien to Bradley in any context football wise. lots of holes in obriens game, he has running ability and a decent left foot (but still misses too many targets he should hit)

LOB isn't in the same stratosphere as Bradley.

To be an asset in a team you need to be able to play well at the elite level, not have fleeting moments.

Braddles was mentaly tough, LOB is tough at one thing only, gut running.

Hard to compare anyone to CB, but Bradley joined the Blues as a 23yo in '86?

Granted, won the F & B in that year.

But LOB is only 23.
