Terry Milera in for the Saints, i swear this guy only plays well against us.

Remember him, Therapist and Saad having birthdays against us two years ago.
Was one of the last games Aaron 'Dud' Joseph played.

We're so lucky Milne isn't in. This guy will take his place no doubt.
And its time we arrested (no pun intended) carp like this. Its all above the shoulders. Time for our blokes to draw an effin line in the sand and have a "this guy will not get a kick today" attitute with spuds who tear us a new one and not do anything else all year. I'm sick to death of it TBH. We seem to put alot of though into the opo big guns and sweet FA into the lesser likes.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

The problem is... it keeps happening.
If you keep an eye out for the NAB Rising Star nominations each week, more often then not, its players that played against us over the weekend.

I've been Lucas' biggest fan but he is just too much of a pussy unfortunately.

Yep i have to agree. I have no problem with his recruitment, his under 18's and WAFL form was exactly what we needed at the time. I was a fan of his from the get go, but whether its development or the player, he has not come on and looks timid and scared in the AFL environment.

People will blame our recruiters, but sometimes you cannot foresee how a guy will go in the big time until he is there.

I want him to go well, but he was deplorable last Friday and would be sure his papers were marked at that stage.

I actually think Mick has tried to develop him as well, given him games when perhaps he didnt deserve it, playing him as an impact sub, or high half forward with some success, so this gives me hope with the kids and their development under Malthouse.

Hopefully we can get a second or third rounder for him.

Yep I'll give Mick a tick for that as well, it used to piss me off that Ratts wouldn't play him but I guess Ratts already knew. At least Mick gave him plenty of opportunity to turn it around and to me he showed he had turned the corner last season but this year he's just been putrid. At this stage of his career even treading water wouldn't be enough but he's sinking, fast.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Don't see us getting a 2nd Round pick for him.
Then again, if we could get Pick 28 for Hampson, it might be possible.

He's a confidence player.
Needs one or two big games ina row to start believing in himself.

Needs to have his first shot from 50 rather than 15.

I reckon he needs to do a easy one first.

Like putting in golf. Drop 5 x 3 footers in practice, don't go the 10 footers.

One off the ground from the goal square in the first minute and we could see a marked improvement in Levi's goal kicking.

Watson went off injured for the NBs and was getting flogged before that.  Now he's named in the squad  :o

Is this gamesmanship, misguided selection or tanking?

Watson has been resigned?
No wonder this club is in the doldrums.
I doubt in all my years of watching VFL/AFL, have i seen a player with less intensity for the contest
Slow as a wet week, no idea how to out body an opponent, soft as butter
