How many Melbourne players would get a game at any other club?

[kreuze_missile]

I don't think a single player could get a game at any other club in the AFL. Actually, I think a fair few of them would even struggle at VFL level. While no-one can question that they are trying their hardest each week there is not a single player that I would be excited about having if they joined my club. In the history of the AFL has their ever been team with such little talent? Fremantle might be a joke but they have Pavlich and the clanger king Rhys Palmer who may turn out good. The Eagles are a disgrace but Cox is a superstar. Honestly, what good players do Melbourne have? I couldnt even think of one worth listing. Has there ever been a club in worse shape than Melbourne in 2008? With draft concessions almost certainly ruining the draft for the next 5+ years its going to be tough times ahead Melbourne. I predict they will add another 5 spoons to their already massive collection.

Discuss.

Carlton, 2002-2007

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

John Meesen who is currently at Sandringham would be a better ruck option than Cameron Cloke.

 

[Flashhh]

Nathan Jones
Brock McLean
Matthew Bate
Brad Miller
Cale Morton
Colin Sylvia
Paul Johnson
Brad Green
Colin Garland
Russell Robertson
Jared Rivers
Paul Wheatley
Cameron Bruce
Jeff White
Aaron Davey
Matthew Warnock
Austin Wonaeamirri
Mark Jamar
...would all get a game at Carlton.

This is going well, KM.

Good stuff.

 

[GuzzLG]

Shaun Hampson managed 6, yes 6 o ) games for carlton this year.

You have some explaining to do champ.

When I saw the thread title I assumed that it was started by a Cats fan.

Well imagine my shock to see that it was started by a Carltank supporter.


Thank for the laugh, douche_missile.

Apart from Mclean, probably no.

Garland might snag a spot as an emergency or on the bench if there a lot of injuries but none after those two.

end rant

 

[kreuze_missile]

thread is going well so far.

 

[Sanecow]

Most of them would get a game at the Eagles. It wouldn't even matter if they've finished high school.

 

[Kaladin Stormblessed]

Are you douche_missiles boyfriend?

No, why do you ask?

Alright, I'll take also Cale Morton as a depth player, the Bullants need all the help they can get, happier now?

 

[McManus2Waterhouse]

most of the back line would be a walk up start at hawthorn

Why would a cats fan start it? We have no interest in Carlton or Melbourne, they're both teams we won't have to worry about in September.

LOL at this thread. Epic fail.

Agreed. This post fails epically, just like the Carlton Football Club.


I will now start a similair thread that will get a minimum of 10 times more replies than this rubbish.

Feel free to join me.

Nathan Jones wouldnt be close.

Most overrated player in the league. He's a centreman who gets 10 kicks a game with very good TOG. 1 dimensional, slow and he has gay tattoos.

Translation = he rooted my missus and now I will use BigFooty to vent my frustration

Of course it would.

That thread would be about Carlton - everyone wants to talk about Carlton.

No one gives a rat's about Melbourne.

KM - this thread of yours is like a three-legged dog-race.

It's not done well, but one is surprised to find that it is done at all.

Now Super_Phaser, I have a question to ask you objectively: how would you rate Carlton's three ruckmen: Cain Ackland, Kreuzer and Cameron Cloke?

Please rank them in order of talent with a few choice comments.

Biffinator.

 

[Demonic_Inferno]

lol what a silly thread.

Whilst obviously looking for a bit of a fish, the original poster knows as well as most people that there's lots of Dees players that'd get games at other clubs.

If you had to make a team out of all the carlton and melbourne listed players, close to half (maybe more) would be dees players.

Comrade.

An excellent question, and one which Carlton fans I am sure will be keen to hear my thoughts on.

Ranking them is hard, as all three are lucky to be playing AFL at all.


But here we go -

1) Cain Ackland - woeful footballer, but at Carlton that wins you Best and Fairests (see Teague, Carazzo, Whitnall). Could find himself on the Honour Board before his career is over.

2) Cameron Cloke - has one strength, and that is his massive backside which enables him to push oppositon players aside as they bounce of his well rounded rump. However once he gets rid of his opponent, he is sure to spill the mark, undoing all the good work done by his impressive physical asset.

3) Matthew Kreuzer - a bloke taken at pick 1 who should have gone in the 60's or 70's, but realistically should not have been picked at all. VFL standard footballer, if that. Should give the game away and find work as a Lloyd Christmas lookalike.

Some spot on assessments there.

Yet amazingly their actual future ruckman Shaun Hampson is worse than all 3.
