Carlton Supporters Club

But debating Sauce is asking the wrong question, the question you need to ask is how we ended up with Warnock who is a complete one trick pony and in my opinion the weakest of the set?

Jacobs was clearly better than Warnock and Hampson but we went with the potential of the those two because we already had Kreuzer.

Kreuzer has been injured and Hampson and Warnock have been epic failures.

Sam is probably a good lesson for our club. We didn't actually realise that he was ready to take on the comp's best rucks regularly from early on. We went down the potential route and then couldn't develop these guys. Maybe stick the the Richs of this world?

It is easy to talk about this in hindsight but nobody had a crystal ball back then,

Hampson wont be traded......Hampson was another" upside pick" from Hughes that hasnt gone to plan and I dont see the footy dept admitting Jacobs is better than Hampson.
Hampson will be given more time to develop and Jacobs is the easy trade back home....even though we all know Jacobs is the better ruckman and will probably be a very good player for either Port or the Crows and have us wishing we never traded him....

Jacobs should be retained, his game today against the Swans was very good. I think Hampson is the one under the pump now.

After today's game, I'd be hoping the MC bend over backwards to assure him that his future lay with us. Jacobs i can see been traded away & hurting us, can't say the same for Hampson. Hampson has had some nice moments this year, but he's still way, way, way, too raw for mine, whereas you watch Jacobs today & know you've got a young ruckman there who knows his way around a football ground & who has clearly worked on getting better everytime time he plays.

He was seriously brilliant today, no way known Hampson could've delivered for us today what Jacobs did

Rocks in our head if we trade this guy... Hammer has to go if anyone...

Might I add I did stay awake long enough to see Marc Murphy put his body on the line standing in the hole twice, the kid is becoming a captain.

How about the way the filth's tagger (mc-crapper? ha) had both arms around Murphy, above the shoulder, at one stage across the neck too, prior to a bounce/toss up, and its just let go by the umps.

I was MIA in 2010 but I agreed with these guys

CARLTON ruckman Sam Jacobs has requested a trade to the Adelaide Crows during the forthcoming exchange period.

The trade would allow Jacobs to return home to South Australia.

Jacobs made his Carlton debut in Round 1, 2009 and has played 17 AFL games.

Jacobs was recruited to the Blues from Androssan via Woodville-West Torrens in the 2007 rookie draft.

Carlton’s football operations general manager Steven Icke said the club was disappointed with Jacob’s trade request.

“While disappointed with Sam’s decision to return back to South Australia, the Club will now commence discussions with the Adelaide Crows to enable a suitable exchange,” Icke said.

How about a quote from supporters prior to his first final, when the issue was actually being discussed mid season when there were rumors of offers on the table from Adelaide and the reports emerged that he was gone?

The deal was done and dusted and he was heading home before the finals even started!

Elwood's was before the game.

I could look for more but I've made my point that opinion was divided on where Jacob's sat. I had no problem with keeping Hampson as he had the potential to be anything and was worth the punt but getting Warnock has turned out to be another horrific blunder.

McCaffer is a Cheat, and I was proud of Murphy that all though he was probably beaten, he worked and worked and worked for his team-mates, lifting them as best he could.
