Now that's class
Uh huh. I didn't really want to list EVERY player that might venture into the centre of the ground at some stage, just the ACTUAL midifielders.
The question was after Murphy and Stevens cancelling out Dledio and Johnson it comes down to the next five.
So you take this completely out of context. Then you confuse the word stopage with stopper. Easy to do but you should take more care when writing fairy tales.
Thirdly, for the last three weeks the Hawks, Roos, and Lions fans pre-games have crapped on endlessly about how much better their mids are than ours. On paper (or on computer) that may appear to be so, but ours put so much pressure on theirs that we smashed all of them in the middle.
The fact that I have been able to leave Gibbs out of this group says one thing. He's just turned 18 and hasn't played a senior game yet. Jury is out on his impact in the early rounds, but underrate this guy and you'll be sorry.
Geez I hope Brown does spend 50% of his time on ball. Ask Luke Power who Jordan Russell is.........
Nice to see you surface. The Weagles Ugly Culture crisis is entertaining us all over here in the Eastern States. It's like a never ending train-wreck. Little wonder why Judd wants to return to Victoria. The Juddless Weagles are barely a top-8 side. Looking forward to the next crisis from Weagleland.

Premiership season is a completely different game then the NAB. Gibbs struggled in the NAB, what makes you think he'll touch it in the real stuff?
We don't need to ask Luke, who Jordan is...we all know that he is a dud Top 10 pick
Can't read without them?
I choose not too.

Gibbs is doing nicely. Quite happy with his efforts so far, and has been a useful contributor, and setup a few important plays. But I guess you don't want to know that. Jordon Russell has been fantastic, and has really stepped up this year. Highly talented midfielder with blistering speed. Did you enjoy his goal V Lions. Again, I guess you don't want to know that. Hilarious.

That doesnt mean much Parrot, Tambling kicked a ripper goal against the pies in his first ever preseason match and we all know what a dud he is..........
Your POV is a bit hypocritical then isnt it?
You either have a very bad memory or an active imagination. Probably both.

Personally blues by 4+ goals. Our forward line is far to potent for the tiges backline. Russell will get the job on Brown and Walker possibly on Lids depending on where he plays. Setanta on Richo, Thornton on Shultz(???spelling). At the other end if i were Richmond i would have Bowden on fev as i dont think that Gasper has the leg speed or strength to be to follow fev, especially with the new rule interpretation, and the fact that fev can kick plenty in minutes. FWIW i think that Gasper on Fisher is a better match up. Both not blessed with speed and at similar heights, but in the air different story, fisher will have him covered.

I don't completely agree. Fisher is pretty quick at ground level. And of course his pack-marking ability is just plain freaky.
That's true to but we have to give the tigs some chance

He got 2 kicks! That is 1 more than Trent Knobel the other week!!
Considering Tambling's excellent NAB Cup form in his debut year was "still crap because it's easy to look good in the NAB" what will happen to Gibbs I wonder.
It's great watching these little Carlton supporters squirm now that they have to be hypocritical in order to support Gibbs in any way
You once bagged Tambling for being a dud cos he didn't set the world on fire right away. At least he set part of the world on fire for a few matches.... Gibbs can only get one more kick than Trent Knobel
We do rely on Fev, however, we can kick more than 8 goals if he doesn't kick a bag.
Your statement is just a blatant lie.

Gibbs is all class, and was 17 for most of those games. How many 17 y.o. play senior footy and do well first up?
Tambling is a joke - don't take it out on us.

Yes, that was Wells he burnt off, and if Eddie Betts hadn't got in the way - gooooaaalll.

Was that a highlight reel or just a summary of every single possession that game?

Isn't it funny how in the "Can the blues win 5 in a row" thread, we are being degraded because "NAB cup form means nothing" - understandable from Tiges fans given their teams performance............yet, apparently the form of Bryce Gibbs does count?
So which is it?
Form does count
Gibbs has shown patches of brilliance but hasn't really got into a game and the Blues are on the way
OR
Form doesn't count
Gibbs hasn't really played a game so his form can't be judged and the Blues haven't done anything yet
Why don't you choose instead of having a bit each way.
I'll take selection a thanks.

Murphy was almost a full year older than Deledio was in his first season
Gibbs and Deledio were almost the exact same, very bottom aged.

Fair query but I think you know the answer.
Individual form such as Lloyd kicking bags of goals does count, because individual form is purely how good you play and how well you can cope with the pace of the game etc. If Trent Knobel can't get a kick in a NAB game why would he do any better in a tougher game?
Team form means little such as Richmond and West Coast both winning 1 of 4 pre season games, so the actual outcome of matches are not an indicator of future success. The actual form of certain players is what you take out of these games, not the final score.
Deledio improved a lot in his second year. Just because he didn't win the B+F doesn't mean he didn't play a lot of very good high quality footy. He was much better in his 2nd year than in his first, I thought everybody knew that

Thanks for further highlighting the double standard applied to our team and its pre-season form. Couldn't have done a better job myself.
So if Lloyd kicks bags then that's great form, but if O'hAilpin beats Brown, Thompson, Roughead.......and Lloyd........its only the pre-season and we are getting carried away............right?
So if your individual form is very good and the likes of Stevens, Murphy, Fev, Waite, O'hAilpin, Simpson, Betts, Cloke, Bentick, Thornton, Walker, Scotland (I could go on) are playing really well, then their Individual Form is sensational, but if that translates into a team win, nay.....a grandfinal win then it means nothing...............right.
So what did you get out of a pre-season with poor individual form AND poor team form?
I'll take our lead in, thanks.

Nathan Brown kicking 4 goals.
Brett Deledio getting 30 possessions.
Richard Tambling in our best players every week bar one.
Graham Polak convincing a majority of Tiger fans he'll be a gun when most were firmly against the trade.
I could go on too.
Listen, Carlton have played some good footy and you can't dismiss that entirely. Having said that it is easy to play good footy against crap teams. We were competitive against top 4 teams, you just beat bottom 4 teams.
I'll remind you of last year. We beat the Dogs by 12 goals, then 3 weeks later in Round 1 they beat us by like 120 points!
That is why I don't rate wins in the pre season.
