Bower the Power? They just make this shit up.
Laughed aloud in the uni computer lab. Who are these dunces passing themselves off as reporters?

I went to read their horoscopes so see if their astrological insights were as keen as their footy insights...and was surprised to see that their horoscopes takes the HUNs crap writing to a whole new level.

When people think about Time Machines, they soon get confused. If, in the future, someone invents such a device, they will surely be able to use it to travel back to the era that we are living in now. So, if a Time Machine can exist tomorrow, it must also exist today. Have you ever seen one? Me neither. So what does that tell us? Unless, of course, the time-travellers are being subtle. Maybe your future self is standing right by your side as we speak, silently urging you to make wise decisions. What do you think they are trying to suggest?
My future self is definitely saying: don't read the HUN!

Aside from the fact in Ratten's last press conference he confirmed he would be staying in the ruck for the majority - with them hoping Hampson could provide suitable cover in the forwardline...I find it very weird that you focus on the one outright negative line (obviously wrong), when you could be focusing on the last paragraph?
I reckon that's extremely charitable for you. Could Carlton supporters feel a bit "burnt" by the meeja this year?

If you're serious they really should be called on this. Where's Media Watch when you need it?
ok, cool, at worst let's say two small errors in the article - because according to you Kreuzer won't be a dangerous forward this year. Noted.
I disagree though, for the record, as obviously does the journo

......"and not many sides go deep into September without at least 1 tall forward capable of kicking 50 goals"........
like the Pies.......Dogs......WCE of a few years back........
and how the hell would he know that 30+ goals from Setanta is a big ask? He's never been a consistent target up forward.
HUN is crap.
No BF quotes in this one?
At different times O'hAilpin (Crows), Henderson (Lions and Swans to lesser extent), Betts (Crows) and Yarran (Swans) have all shown they can be targets and will be dangerous.
To ignore this and say "where will the goals come from" is just the media running with the "safe" tag line. When SEN crossed to the Crows practice game at half time it was 2 goals to 4 (Crows way). The comments were how we were going to struggle to kick goals without Fev.........no comment on the fact the Crows only had 4 goals to the same point.......and even less comment at the end when it was 12 goals to 13 (or whatever it was)......because that doesn't fit the "no goals without Fev" story.

The problem is its lazy. This was a concern pre-christmas, but we have now seen a Blues team that, despite its unpredictability (which Journo's hate) has found multiple avenues to goal and usually, even when we lost, had more scoring shots that the opposition.Lanceuppercut said:

Had dinner with Kreuzer last night.
He won't be the first choice up forward, and will play predominantly ruck. Setanta and Henderson with Waite pinch hitting will be the forwards, along with Betts and Yarran.
If Kreuzer plays FF for the bulk of the year plan A has failed and we are in trouble.

fair enough, but c'mon... what do you want? Do you want an article that confirms all your wildest hopes? Just like with us - I think Gumby, Neagle, Williams, Ryder, Hurley etc will kick a bucket of goals, but the HUN still talks about our forward line as being a concern in today's Essendon preview.
I disagree, but I can understand why others would think that.
Anyway, again, the HUN suck, I'm not here to bag out the Blues. I just read that article and couldn't understand why you guys focus on the 10% negative over the overwhelming positives they said
fair enough. I still don't understand why you he wouldn't rotate forwards, giving Hammer more time to learn rucking & making the most of Kreuzer's obvious talents in the most dangerous place on the ground
I don't get why Plan A wouldn't be making you less predictable by having a more flexible structure

We have Plan C in place if all else fails

Come on guys - I am sure Jon stole that left column from one of my posts

Kreuzer's most obvious talents are relatively wasted up forward..
It's Bower Power.
Carrazzo adds steel to our midfield?
Carrots isn't Brad Sewell.
At this stage I would have Carrots in the side easily before McClean, Hadley & Walker.
Jon Anderson is a backwards country yokel ... Saying 30 plus goals is a big ask for the Irish man ..
Here is a message to you Ando you sheep shagging nuff nuff, if Carlos stays healthy and plays 20 plus games, he'll kick between 40 and 50 goals this season ... Bank on it ...
Other then that, I wasn't too irked with it really.

Come on man. You've been picked apart by two 'straight-from-the-horses' quotes, and you're still trying to back yourself up.fair enough.

Fletcher could become a dangerous forward option, but why hint at it when it's something that's probably been quashed over and over again. He should've mentioned that "with Kreuzer being the number one ruck, a weight falls on Hampson's shoulders to become a forward presence".
He basically wrote the opposite, in spite of the numerous press conferences over the preseason that had alluded to Kreuzer being the #1 ruck, the last presser that confirmed as much, and on top of it all, the man himself last night at the jumper presentation said as much himself, just to prove how wrong this guy is.
Why oh why do these Muppets keep ignoring Setanta. If they had bothered to watch any of Carlton's games last year, they would realise that he could have kicked 50 goals if the players had honored his leads instead of kicking to Fev all the time. I think Setanta will kick around 60 goals this year and Yazza, Eddie and the other forwards will all do the business. F*ck Fev! Even with him kicking 90 goals last year we couldn't get past 7th.Let all the so-called experts and the other Captains write us off. With Warnock, Humphrey and big Hampson giving us plenty of ball out of the middle and our defence, with Jamo, Bower and JR leading from the front, watch how much ball gets down to our forwards.
People forget that Setanta (after the knee in the back from Fev), Waite and Jamo did not play in the 2nd half and Bower did his leg in the 3rd qtr of the Brisbane final. That's the only reason that Bradshaw kicked those goals.
Setanta will do well this year and how good will Waite be if they don't have play in defence and allow him to play off the wing or put him into the middle alaa Kouta. Don't forget that Ratten played most of his footy under Parkin and was also a member of the great Carlton sides of the 90's. He knows what he is doing!
I think getting rid of Fev was the best thing we could have done and it will benefit our side. Henderson will be a 10 year player very similar to Josh Kennedy (look at him now). We had become far too predictable we now have a chance to build up a very good side without the distraction of a brain dead idiot who just happened to have a bit of football ability.
There is a simple saying in a team game - "the supposed worth of a so called "superstar" in team oriented and focused group, can be measured by the size of the hole left in a bucket of water when you take your hand out"!
The simple fact is that we don't need a distraction like Fev and will be better side without him. Just watch us stick it up all these so called experts this year!
I thought this article from Anderson wasn't far off the mark
