Notice Board (Visitors Enter Here) / Re: Welcome Folks, Have A Good Look Around
I've had the chance to have a bit of a 'play' with the site and everything else seems great !! Some really good new features, the 'user' feature in the left panel will be very helpful !!

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Time To Play Casboult At Full Forward
I reckon 1 pre-season with the right people working with him and he could improve out of sight.
The problem is finding the right people to work with him.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: I like the like (Karma) function !!
For all the FB users, this new site has a 'like' (Karma) function where it's possible to 'like' (applaud) or even 'dislike' (smite) a post !!!!
Personally I think it's a great idea !!!
Thank-you for the positive feedback Mr. Amers, we are pleased that you are in favour of this new feature on the site.
You have actually beaten us to the punch with your post because there is a discussion in the Staff Room regarding some promotion & education of the Karma system. We believe that once everyone is aware of its existence and then understands how it works, they will enjoy it even more.

I thought making a thread about it would help to spread the word !!!

Applaud adds Karma and Smite removes?
Yep, that would be it !!

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Walls goes "Bang"
Lack of player development, 1 of the biggest issues at the club IMO.When Robert Walls speaks, at the time you find yourself agreeing with his comments thinking he is saying exactly what we are thinking.
The problem though as Shakin' has clearly pointed out, he flips & flops backwards, forwards & sideways depending on his feng shui reading, the latin horoscope or which phase the moon is in. There really is no consistency at all in his comments which is not only disturbing but equally destroys his credibility overall (and that is coming from Mr. Inconsistent himself).
I'd really like Rob Walls, when it comes to Carlton, the club he obviously still loves dearly & passionately, to say what he genuinely thinks and is in the best interests of the club overall, not what will sell a newspaper or get viewers to the TV screen.
He can change his views as often as he changes his undies for all I care when it comes to the other clubs, just be honest & forthright when speaking about the Carlton Football Club.
I think it depends on the perspective you chose.
He seems reasonably consistent to me;
- He has always claimed our list loaded with 1st round draft picks has the talent to challenge but has failed to make the most of it. He is not alone in this assessment and just this week we see a number of journalists asking what went wrong.
- He has always questioned the replacement of Brett Ratten based on last seasons injury situation.
- He has never been a MM booster.
- He is correct about the points against.
- I thought his focus about a lack of improvement was more based on the coaching, MC and tactics rather than the players or the list. When he focuses on players he generally names them!
