News Blues over off-field indiscretions: Russell

[carlton09]

CARLTON defender Jordan Russell says the club has moved on from the controversies that have plagued them over the off-season.

The Blues have never been far from the news since they were bounced out of the finals by the Brisbane Lions in September last year.

“There are plenty of options up there. Eddie Betts, Jeff Garlett and Chris Yarran are going to be crumbing up the front. Lachy Henderson is going to come down there and hopefully Jarrad Waite can set up there for a few every week as well,” he said.

Very interesting, no mention of Kreuzer. Would love to watch Eddie, Yarran and Garlett all in the same forward line.

Good.


Great article, FINALLY something positive about Carlton (and Sammy Jacobs!) and good on JR for being the one to make it happen. He should be in the leadership group IMO, great club man.

The Blues have never been far from the news since that tosser Elliott had a run-in with the HUN bigwig late last year.

EFA.

Good to see the players and coaching staff have moved on. A shame some of the BF posters haven't.

If he can put a full season together this year like his second half of 09 he'll be a big chance. Showed a lot of maturity last season as a bit of a backline general.

Still think Kreuzer will play mostly in the ruck, and will go forward to provide some real impact. I see the Port game a couple of years back as the ideal scenario as what we could see Kruezer do.

He's just too much of a talent around the ground to have him play the majority of game in the forward line.

Good article, nice positive spin...could sell some papers

Blues over off-field indiscretions

“We had our time trial the first day back and there were 20-odd blokes who ran PBs (personal bests). That’s a good sign of where we’re at and where our heads are at.”

“This is my sixth pre-season and I didn’t think it could be any tougher but it has been, they keep finding ways to punish us but it is great and we have certainly benefited from the hard work. You just have to have a look at the shape of the guys and see their fitness to appreciate the work that has been done and now we are focused on preparing for the start of the season, commencing with the NAB Cup in Sydney on February 20th.”

This has made me oh so super excited all over again.

When you consider the belting from most of us (yep, me too) JR has copped year after year it's a real credit to him taking such a mature, responsible attitude to things. Hats off, Draft Pick No 9, 2004.

 

[Erko Blue]

Yes, oh yes. Very happy.

Makes me think of players; JR, Sauce and El NoNicknamelard.

Makes me think the Big Knob and the Bottom Six are gone

If only he had decent playing ability to along with it, he'd be a shoe-in.

The reality is, they don't give leadership roles to players at clubs with clunker playing ability anymore.

 

[krayfesh]

Top 10 finish in a finals side's B+F means he doesn't have playing ability?

 

[Blue Girl 4 life]

Its great to see Jordan doing some media work. He really has a mature attitude towards things.
It was good to hear that he's really positive on the efforts of everybody at training and that this is a really tough pre-season and that the boys seem to have taken a step up.
Jordan really improved towards the end of last year and he seems to be training hard and I hope he can continue his great form into season 2010 and beyond.
Top Job Jordan!

 

[I LOVE THE CFC]

Possibly the first time I have ever heard him speak...

The kid must be made of stern stuff as Thy said he has copped a fair old whacking from just about all and sundry but seems focused on what's ahead for him.

I wouldn't be against him being in our leadership group even though I'm only going off this vision but I can't image JR getting into to much trouble.

Go well Mr Russell...we are all behind you....this time without sharpened knives

They don't give out 6th places in the club B&F to players with "clunker playing ability" anymore either. Grow up.
