In fairness he did try and make amends by thanking Carlton for having given him his opportunity at AFL, during his retirement speech/statement. For my own selfish reasoning I regarded his attempt at redemption hollow, I'm sure I was/still suffering from a sense of rejection.
Did he go to the 150th celebrations?
I'm not sure Jeffy, I didn't go. But if not mistaken I recall one or two others in here having written that they had gone, they may be able to answer that Q
AH wasnt exactly the best kick, his kicking action was just as unsightly as Cas's. The difference was his ability to get to contests and batter the opposition. I don't mind if Cas's kicking isn't 100 percent provided he improves his fitness and competes at high intensity for large portions of games

Meh I'll reserve my thoughts and praise till after he signs at a reasonable and fair price that's reflective of where he's at and improvement still required. Too many bad memories of a forward who deserted for the almighty dollar a decade or so ago.
Are the initials A.H. for the deserter. I still havent forgiven him for leaving.He owed us heaps for helping him play in the 99 grand final.Anyway we got KARMA as he was always injured

I had numerous experiences along the same lines. Then also had to listen numerous more on radio, and I ll never forget Pelchen's expressionless insistence in his attempt to poach Thornton when we were at our lowest. Hope Pelchen and the Aints fall further into a bag of shiat.
Another pleasing thing about the Aints fall from grace, is the chance, it's to early to speculate, that some of their kids may not develop the way they would like and PELCHEN will hopefully be remembered as the list manager who reinstated them at the ass end of the ladder where they belong.
It's a tough one, but I think young children should all be made to feel like winners. It's an age where rejection should be avoided. I don't think I'd want my children subjected to that kind of judgement at that age.
We looked a million dollars for three and a half quarters.
The two cent effort in the second quarter is an indication of why we sit where we are on the ladder.
Application not talent?
I remember us going through lapses in Q's when Ratts was coaching. We lost several close games because of our inability to stem the tide when opposition got on a roll. Ratts answer was very simplistic ie slow play down and keep possession, It was clearly visible that players did this at stages when we were being seriously challenged. Granted we still lost games that we shouldn't have lost but there was a clinical strategy around it. Whats our strategy for overcoming challenges similar to our 2nd Q against the Aints ?. it could be anything, punch the fork out of the main opposition play maker, slow the game to trickle, whatever it is id just like to know the strategy around it.
Its hard to believe,that the rabble we played were a whisker from winning a grand final just 4years a go.They have major issues and I love it ,for the last 10years we have been their bunnies but no longer
He really slaughtered Montagna and then Steven, both of whom have really hurt us before. Andreijs Everitt did a very good job on Montagna after Carrots went off and Curnow switched players. Both guys really earnt their money today.
Yep they certainly did. What's pleasing is that they're both young and have a lot of footy left in them. Bring on 2015
