Toast Welcome to Carlton Sam Docherty!

[etsal1]

I have a feeling security may be called on the night to restrain both of us MEB_

One of you better make sure Menz doesnt feel left out.

Oh don't worry he won't be left out!

If someone didn't understand what you ladies were on about. One could be thinking very different things.

I don't think it's very difficult to understand

 

[James_Blues]

Had he played 1 less game for Lions last year he would be.

That's a shame, would've been with a chance to have recieved the nomination for this week!

He'd be a chance to win the whole thing if he kept the last 3 weeks of form up.

 

[T2B_]

Even better that he obviously wasn't overawed taking on his former team and whatever boos he had to endure, if any. Real credit to him.

Daisy doesn't like this.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Love the Doc. Not sure about the haircut though?
He and Everitt have been great pickups.

Is Docherty eligible for the rising star award?

played one too many games as of last year.

Such a shame

Should have got Taylor Adams instead

Should have got Taylor Adams instead

We'd be thrilled for what Docherty has produced thus far and rightly so.

Adams is an interesting one. I was super keen on bringing him across to Carlton because he's a terrific young footballer, but quite clearly he hasn't hit his straps at his new home just yet.

Has the tools to be a top tier inside midfielder but that's not where they are playing him at this stage. He is the logical replacement for Luke Ball, but they seem hell bent on playing him as a small running defender which I think is a huge mistake.

Doesn't dispose the ball well from what I've seen.

I've been very pleasantly surprised with Doc's attack on the ball, had no idea he had it in him from the Brisbane games of him I watched post trade. He's what we wanted in Lucas!

 

[blueboys4lyfe]

We got doc for nothing and Collingwood lost Heath Shaw for adams.

Did anyone see Adams' kicking for goal straight in front on Friday night? Loved it.

Is that even neccessary?

As poor as your post where you stated your embarrassment for Russell who wore the number two before Menzel.

You didn't play 116 games and make the leadership group.

Can't bag the hacks who enjoy venting like grumpy old curmudgeons.

Lucas beat Docherty last year.

 

[ESKIE]

Doc is a serious player, hasn't done anything wrong since his debut, mature, good decision maker

This guy is a gun

Was it as bad as either Hendo or Menzels' efforts in the first quarter on saturday?

 

[RedFury]

I know it's just one single kick, but as Menzel sprayed that shot I had this sinking feeling it was gonna be an ordinary day for us.

 

[The Blue Baggers]

been absolutely fantastic ....

docherty, buckley, menzel, cripps ... suddenly the future is not so bad

add a fit kreuzer and an improving casboult who knows we may have a future

Adams was straight infront & like 30m out. I didn't watch our game but I saw Menzel's shot and am prepared to say it's an anomaly. Adams has time and time again shown he is a poor kick.

Lucas beat Docherty last year.

I'm not the type to make opinions based on group think and vitriol. My opinion is one I base off watching plenty of football and analysing my club throughout the whole year...I've been critical of fan favourites like Walker and Simpson when it's been warranted and at the moment Lucas isn't where we want him to be at. All players have injuries and the good ones need to over come adversity and not forgo certain standards for their position.

The Russell comment was in jest and in relation to greats of the club in Nicholls and Williams...if we're going to pick apart the choice of one word and generalise characters off that then I'm not interested. You know I love the club and track the whole team, especially the youngsters and I know you're super dedicated so let's not get shit twisted.
