Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Chris Yarran has gone backwards.
Malthouse wouldn't be telling him to shirt contests and give up and not chase. Yarran's issues are his own issues. Friends of mine don't believe me when I say Yarran is probably the quickest at the club because they've probably never seen him sprint.

I respect Kingy and Lynchy's opinions but I'm sure they don't watch every game of football played so it only makes sense that I would have seen more of Yarran they did. Come to think of it weren't you overseas a couple of years ago?

Looking at the best and fairest for 2011 he finished 10th so that sits about right with my memory of how he played, middle of the road and that was his best year.

I don't recall Yarran being close to All Australian ever.

Betts should have been All Australian last year but has had injuries/suspension this year, oh I forgot Malthouse has no injuries.

What's there to not understand about Yarran? He's not playing HBF. Don't you mean you don't understand why we've adopted this method and Yazz isn't playing off half back?

I never stated Yarran was playing off the HBF, and yes the rest of what you wrote is what I mean!

So the question becomes a chicken and egg scenario. Is Yarran not off HBF because of his form slump, or is his form slump because he is not off the HBF?

Yarran got completely exposed in the preseason final and Mick will never play him there again.

Got no comment about Saturday night? Typical.

Got no comment about Yarrans mark vs North? Typical. I guess your hypocrisy extends far beyond just Yarran/Murphy.

Laughable I tell ya.

It was a nice mark. Got any footage of him going in hard for the ball? Just one instance, I'll give you a month to find it.

Let's get back to the fact that you label Yarran a softy but say Murphy isn't. Highlights exactly what some of us have been trying to say, yet somehow it's Yarrans fault and not the captains who really should be setting the example. One is 22 and immature, the other is 26, played over 150 games and captain of our club. Hypocrite much? Double standards at all? It's hard to take anyone with this thought process seriously.

Got no comment about Saturday night? Typical.

My thoughts on Murphy is he isn't the hardest bloke going around. He doesn't relish the physical contest like Judd or McLean but when it's his time to go he will even if it goes against his natural instincts.

Yarran is talented but is just about the biggest squib in the AFL and he's lazy to boot.

Comparing the two is laughable.

Next time you want to talk about facts about what I've said quote me.

Yarran can't pick 'n choose when he wants to play. Looked a million bucks against the Roos, pathetic against the Dockers....saw 2 instances right in front of me (Aisle 39, Level 1) whereby myself & the Carlton supporters around me collectively went nuts at Yarran's sub-par application. Don't care what his age or life experiences are, play like it means something to you ffs.

I wasn't far from that either and it was the final straw for me, squibbed the contest then just gave up. If I were Mick I'd make him sub again.
