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

[Biffinator]

Some spot on assessments there.

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

Super_Phaser - GuzzLG is an astute judge of football, and here you have a ringing endorsement of your review.

But where is the originator of the thread - he of the three-legged dog-race?

Biffinator.

 

[Carn Hawkas]

We might take one of their defenders.

It would appear that like his namesake, he arrived on the scene with great expectation, only to prove himself not up to standard and eventually go missing. A shame

I don't believe that all of Melbourne's players are as bad as made out to be. Aaron Davey is like Daniel Wells, but he shows more glimpses of what he can potentially do on a more consistant basis. Stephen Newton has a good pair of hands up forward, Austin Wonnaemirri shows that he can turn the momentum of a game on it's head off his own boot...

Bate gets a few disposals, but his hair too bright a shade of orange for mine...

There is the 2008 Carlton Team List. Now I have bolded the non-hack players (instantly getting rid of 80% of the list) to see who could nearly get into the Brisbane team. These are: Stevens, Simpson, Murphy, Judd and Fev.

Now Stevens is a slow, outside mid. Not needed (player playing the 'quarterback' role at Brisbane i.e. Drummond has better disposal).

Simpson is quick with bad disposal. Now Brisbane need an injection of pace but conversely don't need any more players who turn the ball over ever second kick. Not needed.

Murphy is an accumulator of possessions with a slightly better kick than Carrazzo. Again, not the type of player that Brisbane needs.

Judd is playing at about 20% of what he displayed at the Eagles. Can't kick over 30m and we already have a great extractor, Black. Not needed.

Fev is a pretty good ff however even disregarding his tempermental nature and off-field incidents, our key forwards, Brown and Bradshaw, shit all over Fev. Not needed.

And so, I draw the conclusion that no, that's right, no Carlton player would comman a spot in Brisbane's 22. LOL at Carlton

I don't believe that all of Melbourne's players are as bad as made out to be. Aaron Davey is like Daniel Wells, but he shows more glimpses of what he can potentially do on a more consistant basis.

You should see his brother Michael, he is something else

Stefan Martin's and Michael Newton's love child? Wouldn't mind one of those running around on the park.

Don't worry about the dee's boys, we have a very good future on our hands, with one of the best young lists in the comp. You can take pot shots all you like right now (except we will own you anyway), but the truth is that within 3 years we will be playing off for a premiership.

 

[King_Mallee]

what an oturageous claim. That the best Melbourne players arent good enough to get a game at other clubs.

Only on bay 13

 

[whelan=legend]

If Melbourne and Carlton were to merge, im guessing this would be the final team.

Backs: Matthew Whelan Colin Garland Matthew Warnock
Half backs: Chris Johnson Jared Rivers Lynden Dunn
Centreline: Cale Morton Cameron Bruce Ricky Petterd
Half forwards: Colin Sylvia Matthew Bate Aaron Davey
Forwards: Paul Johnson Brad Miller Austin Wonaeamirri
Followers: Jeff White Brock Mclean Nathan Jones
Interchange: Paul Wheatley, Stefan Martin, Simon Buckley, Brent Moloney

EMG: James McDonald, Mark Jamar, Chris Judd

 

[stabler]

haha Jamar before Judd.

That looks about right, except I would have Adam 'The Wiz' Maric as an emergency ahead of Chris Judd.

Choco123 - thanks for providing the current Carlton list, grim reading though it made.

A question: am I to understand that Cain Ackland is lumbering around in Bruce Doull's old jumper ?

If true, well, that really is saying something.

They had had better give him a B & F John Nicholls (Compound) Chocolate Medal to minimise the embarassment.

Perhaps Kreuze "Three-Legged Dog Race" Missile could shed some light on this mystery, but he has done a Dunkirk out of this thread.

Mind you, the latest version of Net-Nanny is pretty sharp stuff and maybe his step-mum took exception to his misadventures on Bay 13.

Yes Super_Phaser - this thread has been well and truly hijacked.

Biffinator.

 

[davey_magik]

This is coming from the team with the worst defence in the league .

 

[ALOTOFDUDES]

What an absolute ass nugget the OP is.

Using Carlton of all teams as being a squad so good that players from another team couldn't make it.. ha ha ha ha.

EVERY club has players who could make any other team. Even Geelong.

Change your name to Jordan Russell, Kreuze_Missile - because you suck at life.

 

[kreuze_missile]

If our list is so bad howcome we have 5 more wins?

Melbourne are hacks. Enough said.

Melbourne played Hawthorn and Bulldogs twice.

You guys have played them 0 times combined.

That accounts for 4.

Plus their injuries compared to yours and its clear that Melbourne are far superior than carlscum.

[TelkoTheGreat]

Well for Carlton it would depend on if they are tanking games or not (who can tell anymore?), so they would likely stick to their current crop.

^Little soupa phaser suggest you ....!

Don't let em get you down son!

There is at least 5 decent players on Melbournes list!

 

[kreuze_missile]

There is at least 5 decent players on Melbournes list!

There are decent players in the Under 14's too...

 

[Michael Tuck]

There are decent players in the Under 14's too...

Are they your team mates??

 

[ALOTOFDUDES]

haha, as if kreuze_missile has mates.
He is probably the kid they all "pole" around the goal posts after training.

So with a bit of a prod, you have reappeared at last.

It is good that your Step Mum has darted off to work (yep, those shifts at the Pole Dancing Maximum Stress-Relief Entertainment Centre can really take a lot out of girl), thereby allowing you to jump back on the computer furtively.

I can sense your nervousness. KM, you sweat when you are in that state. As such, I do hope that your monobrow will avert the Clearasil running down your forehead into your bulbous eyes.

Even so, this thread of yours is a still a three-legged shaggy dog story. What is to be done?

Answer: it is time to beef you up, so here is a little maths question for you.

If Cain Ackland is on $450,000 per annum over a three year contract, how many wasted Calton memberships does that equate to over time (as an approximation)?

• Over 4000 Adult Members
• Over 6500 Adult Members
• Over 8000 Adult Members.

please ignore all the harpoons that have been put into your flabby backside and get back to me pronto with an answer ! remember - no use of calculators or fingers is allowed.

ever yours, Biffinator.
