Lang in

 

[thylacine60]

That'll piss people off. I'm bullish.

 

[HBF]

FMD!

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

WHY

 

[BoundbyKreuze]

Told yas. Surely they should just put Jimmae on the MC and we’d have Philp O’Brien Willo Finbar Stocker and Owies running around.

I get what the MC are doing. We will start with a mature side to take on a tough Melb who are giving 3-4 young players and ask the younger ones that have often been gifted spots to earn them.

 

[HBF]

Depth at best. If he plays at all this year we are in some serious trouble.

Really poor decision by the club. Really poor.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Can somebody tell me what the **** the Carlton football club has seen in Darcy Lang? Has he ever played a decent game for us?

 

[thylacine60]

Let's see what he can do. Might be last chance saloon. Get around him!

 

[Coops93]

**** sakes...

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Dang

 

[Mr_Plow]

This hiatus must have caused something miraculous.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Not a poor decision at all. By all accounts, has had a reasonable preseason and has now been given the opportunity to show us how much he wants it.
The ball is totally in his court. These are the guys that need to step up and take their opportunity THIS YEAR!

 

[james95]

Jesus, Lang has more talent in his pinky finger than any one on this forum so I’d stop tearing shreds off him.
Good on him I say, obviously does enough right to keep himself in selectors minds, will be in as a role player not a prime mover so as long as he does what he coaches expect he earns his spot.

Updated teams: Carlton finalises 22

[HARKER]

Really seems to me that experience/age comes up trumps for now.

Let's not knock the selection, until we've at least seen the results of the action.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Lang would want to stick his tackles tomorrow. FFS.

[thylacine60]

Bit over the folded arms and stern looks actually.

 

[Matty411]

Knew it would happen. Apparently he's fitter and healthier so let's give him a chance. Something tells me that if he puts in an average performance, he may have played his last game.

Plenty of competition for spots.

 

[blue6ers]

Time for Lang to step up and prove he his worth at AFL level. This will be close to his last chance I'd say.
Come on mate prove the haters wrong!

 

[NumberEight]

ill reserve judgement until he plays....but thats not the move i would have made.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I would like Carlton to win, please.

 

[Accidental genius]

Really poor decision by the club. Really poor.

Bloody hard to see what the club see in him over the other candidates.
