Carlton Supporters Club

Turns the ball over a lot IMO, a lot of his kicks are short with plenty of elevation, as I said in my last post I would manage him but give kids preference...ie Brisbane he plays to help win the game but vs the Crows he rests, ditto Kruezer.....Simpson to 300 then he retires....
This era with these older players has come to an end, we have to let it go and them with it......

He's had a foot injury.

Not sure why he has been played then?, we seem to like playing injured players ie Kennedy, Marchbank.....and Thomas initially.....

Hawks moved Hodge and Lewis on because they wanted to rebuild with Mitchell and Omeara.....Gibbs wanted out for money and finals, its the way of footy now that players move around more and even loyal servants end up at different clubs for different reasons.
Cripps is now the unofficial anointed leader IMO......I'd rather we move on gracefully from the Kruezer, Gibbs, Murphy era and have other players taking on their responsibilities, if that means suggesting they move on like Hodge, Lewis then fine, if it means them stepping back and giving more games/time to kids then thats fine with me too.....they can be around to assist but I'd rather a kid like Polson play more than Murphy for the rest of the season given the year is over for us apart from development.
Play more seniors when its a more winnable game but vs teams like the Crows at home it would be Murphy out, Polson in for example....

You are aware of what Hawthorn got in return for Lewis and Hodge? We would be crazy to give away our reigning B&F for nothing. You're not making much sense here

Reigning B&F doesnt mean much in a bottom club, yep I am fully aware of what Hawthorn got for those two and S. Mitchell...nada....moving them on was about rebuilding the midfield with T.Mitchell and OMeara not worrying about the returns for Hodge and Lewis.
Sure I said I would like decent return for Murphy and be reluctant to move him on without good compo but the more I think about it and what Hawthorn did maybe you just have to accept the AFL compo pick what ever it is and stick to your plans like the Hawks did....they obviously had T. Mitchell lined up 12 months earlier and also must have been very sure that they could get Omeara over the line too...

If we've got genuine gun mids like Mitchell and O'Meara lined up the yep. ok, but I can't see any gun mids wanting to come to Carlton for 3 or 4 years of bottom 4-6 finishes

Fair point about gun mids although I expect another attempt at Kelly, Shiel...

I suspect one or both are in the bag.....

SOSs track record at getting who is wants (first preference) is pretty bad, prepare yourself for other GWS steak knives or cast offs from elsewhere. 

I'm listening. Tell me who he went hard at and missed - other than blokes who stayed for a couple more years eg Kelly, Hopper?

Tomlinson?
