Preview Rnd 10 Carlton v Adelaide Sunday May 25 4.40 pm @ MCG - Team post *686

[Tony Lynn 15]

Well she does...

She actually said Thy you were one of the few who actually cooked it for her in the morning. She also said it was the least you could do given your lack of performance in the bedroom!

 

[GROTTO]

That's hilarious. What on earth for, to make him miss? What are you, 8?

Come on be cool. Don't attack me I didn't attack you or others.

For starters I don't. But secondly have you seriously not heard or been at a game when the crowd boo a player having a shot at goal.

I guess drawing a line from your inference that Carlton supporters that boo BETTS are 8 years old.?

 

[Keyza]

Just curious what kind of reception will Betts get on Sunday?

Will he be "deliberately" targeted, booed?

Is their some understanding by the Carlton supporters that part of the reason why he came to SA was for his father.

If hadnt come out and said some of the things that he has said then i would say no most supporters wont boo him. As you said "part" of the reason was to be near his dad.
To publicly say that he hopes he plays 100 games for the Crows so his son can play for them and to say he will get into Gibbs' ear about moving to Adelaide were pretty poor form as far as i am concerned. Carlton did an awful lot for Eddie and his family and that showed a total lack of respect.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Based on current form and output it has to be Ellard.
Jeffy just isn't the player he was from a couple of years ago.

Agree, just hope they dont leave both out and comprise our structure and match ups for the sake of playing an underdone Carrazzo.

Menzel, Buckley, Docherty and Armfield are must's this week.

 

[Silvagnis]

I wouldn't let the weather choose for us HD, they never get it right...

Bec says no Chris.

Jo Bailey says no to Patton for Garlett and a second round pick.

No problems about the son comment at all. Who wouldn't want their children to be a car drive away. Its fairly obvious he is a strong family man.

I agree about the Gibbs comment. Yes in cheek but I understand how Blues supporters would be pissed.

Not that its any consolation but the Cats put up the Dangerfield family in their VIP area at their home ground. If we don't deliver a good year next year he will leave the Club in my opinion.

Jo needs to remember she is a blue for life and ensure that gets done.

Welcome to the world of free agency. Malthouse made a good comment about it today. He said that the good clubs will get better and good players are not going to leave good clubs to go to lowly clubs it will be the other way around. It will just mean that the clubs at the top now will just top up and stay there for longer.
I hate it.

Ellard hasn't done alot wrong and I reckon he'd be one of Micks favourites around the club.
Judd would come back in if he's fit, so would Waite.
Not sure that Carrazzo and Bell come straight in - particularly Carrazzo. He'd need to get some games at VFL level into him.

Robbo is suspended, so he's one out. Maybe Garlett might be the other out.

 

[GROTTO]

But you have had a net result of greater than zero in terms of losing Betts but gaining Daisy.

Crows lost big time in Tippett but gained a small gun forward.

With all due respect to Betts, you guys did better out of it than we did.

 

[thylacine60]

GROTTO, keep the excuses for after the game.

Lets revisit the Betts/Daisy comparison in 12 months.
He hasn't played much footy for 12 months and coming off an all but non existent pre-season.

 

[GROTTO]

GROTTO, keep the excuses for after the game.

What excuses Im not making any if we lose. Both teams are missing players.I know we are missing 5 from our best 22 and I understand you guys are missing a few as well.

Plus your mods said no banter, which I am respecting.

 

[Neese]

Will we have a banter thread?

 

[HARKER]

Betts prepares for first meeting with old mates

HE WAS one of the club's favourite sons when he was at Carlton, but Eddie Betts isn't sure how the Blues' faithful will treat him when he faces his former side on Sunday as an Adelaide player for the first time.
What's more certain is how his ex-teammates will treat him.
Betts said he fully expected plenty of "banter" during Sunday's game and revealed the trash-talking had already begun.

If the Blues did try to rough him up, he warned them he had three sizable allies by his side in Taylor Walker, Josh Jenkins and James Podsiadly.
All friendship would be put on hold come the first bounce at the MCG, but Betts said his former teammates would again be considered family at the sound of the final siren.

Here's your banter Neese

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Could never, ever, boo Eddie, he was one of very few shining lights during the dark days.

Maybe it's me, never booed Fev when he was at Brizzneyland.

 

[HBF]

I'd be amazed if any Carlton supporter booed him.
And MEB_ will be there to whack anyone who does anyway.....

 

[thylacine60]

A percentage always boo. Doubt it will last beyond the first quarter.

 

[mickelboy182]

Perfectly fine with people booing, each to their own. So long as they keep things relatively respectful.

 

[thylacine60]

Booing. The impotent protest of the mildly aggrieved.

 

[Silvagnis]

They should wave their membership cards at Eddie if we lose...

Naa, I don't see it that way. He wasn't slagging Carlton off, just kissing up to his new club, and why not? Of course he'd want to get off to a good start with them by sounding upbeat and positive about the move.

 

[Jimaki]

Nobody should boo him, Eddie left for family reasons, he was always a professional on the field and he treated the boys like family. IF THERE IS BOOING ILL BE PISSED! I hope he has a bad game against us cause if he fires he will kick 4 or 5

 

[Jimaki]

There is BOOING and then there is just being a doosh and I hope that no Carlton supporter at the game gives EDDIE shit for leaving. He is one of the only players in the comp who left for family reasons. HAVE RESPECT.
