Clarkson had the temerity on SEN today to say that "Carlton are in a different stage of their development and winning meant much more to them".
Yeah I know he touched it 27 times. Never said he was our worst.
His impact was low IMO.
Is that correct? Thats got to be a record surely. Most in an AFL game is 19 (twice)
Jack Ziebel v Melb this year
Jude Bolton in 2011.
Love cripps but why won't he run. Doesn't get out of second gear.
Bolton, like the coaches before him, is using Gibbs to plug gaps. It would be great to see him used as a forward/midfielder but it's not going to happen.
Whiley's on the injury list....2 weeks with an achilles tendon injury.....be lucky to get up.
No arguments from on Everitt vs our established players but that form is still miles off elite. As for Clem, I'm happy to be proven wrong but Malthouse has picked him ahead of Buckley and Armfield so this deserves scrutiny.
Ahhh my old pal Java......brings back memories of our heated debates over your man Britts. Hope you're well buddy.
I'm well - you and yours the same i hope? Drop in every now and again but finding it hard to get excited after 12 Groundhog years - Elwood still banging his head up against the recruitment wall and Sheiky's as cracked as ever. MM's comment about no one doubting Watson more than Watson, well I can think of one bloke that doubts him more and that's Mick himself! We've been wasting time playing White who is never going to be more than back up at absolute best and this whole time we could have been developing Watson as a forward. Mick has most definitely instilled the hunger to win back in this side after he lost it but fk me he's made some terrible moves/decisions along the way.
Results dont matter but Individual perfomance and improvement does....
So what's the prognosis 2014, Elwood?
If Henderson and Waite can play the Key forward positions for most of the year then we can make the eight and maybe win a final or two, if that doesnt happen then we will struggle to kick goals and will be relying on the likes of Essendon or some other steroid happy club to allow us finals entry by default again.
Casboult and Rowe dont cut it, also Henderson playing forward leaves a large gaping hole down back which Watson will have to fill and his improvement , form and fitness will also have a bearing on how we go.
Of course the Malthouse game plan is still in the embryo stage as far as learning goes and maybe he can fine tune that to make up some ground on the leading teams.
2014 is more about putting some more peices of the puzzle together but I dont expect to see the puzzle finished....
PS..Nice to see you posting Java and look forward to your offerings in 2014....
Results dont matter but Individual perfomance and improvement does....
Lucas. 33 touches and four goal through the midfield.
We use to have speed, now we look like a Volkswagen.Denis... Err I mean Mick has sucked the flair out of this side.
