Agree, in that too good for VFL but not good enough for AFL on a consistent basis.I'd give him a go but I suspect if we topped up it would be for a tall KPD or Ruck.
Playing more as a specialist forward these days unlike when he started as a mid.
If he keeps kicking big bags I think someone might give him another try for half a season in the next supp/rookie draft.
Crocker would probably kick goals in the seniors vs the poor to midpack teams and be a better bet than a few others as he is smart and kicks straight.My only reservation is that he has been delisted by two AFL clubs.
But would he succeed vs the better teams and be in our next premiership team?
Have had similar experiences to Mickey0, had to tell one guy last week to stop swearing, later the security came and spoke to him. It wasn't me who called them but they really should have kicked him out. Yesterday I asked a guy to stop his moaning during the putrid second quarter. Another supporter said he was saying what everyone else was thinking and someone has got to make the team listen. First off they can't hear us in the outer and secondly, going on and on about the sides performance just makes a depressing situation even more depressing. If you are not enjoying your football experience, don't come, in a lot of ways these people are just being selfish. Finally, while we all have the right to free speech, we also have the right to remain silent, and just because you want to talk it doesn't mean I want to listen, so in my opinion, people should make there comments and move on and not keep going over the same ground.Great post.
It was the same old story, inability to hit targets, poor decision making and bad kicking for goal. Our last two goals by Murphy and McGovern came about from good foot skills and good finishing. Where was that in the first 120 minutes of the game? I liked the Docherty and SPS, along with Murphy, Cuningham and others starting up in the middle of the ground. I thought it allowed for more players to get into the game and made us a lot less stagnant, unfortunately we lost too many one on one in our D50 and we were smashed when the ball hit the ground in our F50. I was happy that Cripps was hand passing more but he just needs to get better at that and more players need to be running past when he does get it so we can start getting waves of players going forward.
The second quarter was so bad it overshadows what was reasonable to good efforts in the other three quarters. If Cripps had kicked the goal, then the ball would not have been swept down to the Brisbane goal and it would have been a six to three quarter, while this would be bad it is not disastrous. Finally I am not sure we can carry Betts and Murphy in our front half at the same time.
I was level 2 as well behind the goals and didn't hear anything like that.So which ends are we talking about? Bris Cheer Squad or Carlton Cheer Squad? I was level 2 behind the goals Brisbane Cheer Squad end.
Interesting comment by Matthew Lloyd regarding Eddie Betts on the footy show.I say to Matthew who was to replace Eddie like for like this week? I say to Matthew watch the reserves and study our injury list. Preface your comments with that Matthew. Yes Eddie's, Murph's , Levi's times are up, who replaces them this week?
Basically saying that time is probably up for Eddie.
That wasn't so much the issue as the fact that Lloyd prefaced it with the comment "I may be getting into dangerous territory here....".
Given his brother's role at the club is there some difference of opinion over issues surrounding selection.
We sat on level 2 at the other end and I’ve never been surrounded by such a revolting group of Carlton supporters - there were maybe 5-6Thats not good. I was at the end amongst all the Brisbane supporters and it was pretty good I have to say. All the Carlton and Brisbane people were very well behaved and respectful. Im sorry you had to experience that.
Small Pockets of abusive, revolting Carlton supporters. It was embarrassing. Had my child with me and was really downhearted to see how horrible our supporters can be. Every club has them but there seemed to be a real bogan unwashed element last night - lots of abusive swearing down at the players. Not sure if this was a section of general admission Carlton members as previously we’ve had reserved seating so maybe they get another area at the moment?
Really felt ashamed last night. Lots of Middle Aged guys need to get themselves to therapy as their screaming and swearing in front of kids for 2 hours is not healthy.
Had some lows and some highs.. Name our highs..Not ladder position perhaps although last year, if not for a few narrow losses, we almost made the 8. Beating Geel at Geel last year was huge. Showed we can match it with best. Port after the siren last year, same. We have plenty of highs and lows. At the moment, we are a highlight reel. Convert that to consistency over 4 qtrs every week and we are contenders. Thats what's frustrating me at least, we have shown we can do it. Ill also say, the above havent undertaken the whole of club rebuild we did. We have 80K members solid finances, how many do those three have and what are their books like? Just saying. As Pauly just pointed out in Fagans presser, perhaps we need to stop tarnishing this group with the sins of the past. We continue to ride the roller coaster, hopefully we get off smiling and not chucking up in a bag.
I don't see progress, I look at Melbourne, Swans, Dogs etc and I see progress.Melb Goodwin since 2016
We look the same, nothing is changing, even the pattern of our losses.
How many wins would we have had with Melbourne's draw? ..
Bad luck....🙂Yes and no
My ability to both confront and deal with reality is quite sound. I'm simply trying to take a holistic view. Our draw has been one of the toughest over the first 6 rounds. I never thought we would play finals this year, irrespective of what Cain "fast Eddy" Liddle wants us to believe. Apart from arguably the Pies game, the results are all pretty much as expected.With all due respect Pauly, your (or my) holistic view or expectation on finals counts for very little, Cain "fast Eddy" Liddle's does however as decisions will be based on his not ours. Ill also add that your (or my) expectations are not mirrored by a very very (that's two verys) large portion of the Carlton faithful and the media.
Bob Murphy slammed our second quarter asThats exactly what I saw at the ground. As for Neale, when he came out after half time, he was warming up right in front of us and he could barely muster up a jog hobbling badly. When Williams took off down the wing in the last qtr, Neale ran him down and Williams had to side step to stop getting caught. Intent.
selfish and lacking soul.
The lack of urgency to defend and the lack of appetite to contest (was alarming),” he said.
Same old same old, our blokes won't man up and refuse to contest like their life depends on it IMHO. We had the Lions where we wanted them with Gardiner out of the game and Neale on one leg but still struggled.
If Walsh gets injured we will be struggling to win another game such is our reliance on him to wallpaper the cracks in our midfield...
Laptop or phone cast as Krud suggested or get a separate little android box off ebay.My daughter has a Kayo subscription (found out yesterday) and a Big Android TV in her room. So I have Fox and Kayo.
Telstra TV has the Kayo app available.Im with Optus
Do you have a laptop? HDMI port on the TV?Iphones dont let you screen share certain things.
You don't have a problem anymore.
Many ways to get it to work. One i use on an oldish tv in the bedroom is to screen share from my phone. There are ways.
I'd swap TDK for Casboult in a heartbeat.....even if TDK was missing an arm.110% I'd do it, look at my 2022 side. That wasnt why I said no chance though, I just dont think either will come straight in with at lease one game in the twos especially TDK.
....and Newman for SPS....would you do it?
