Re: 2016 Ladder - Going Early Reply #46 – January 14, 2016, 05:58:01 pm Craig Bird, Matthew Leuenberger last yearGwilt the year before....they're average at best, but if the Bombers can convince players it's a new regime and a chance to be a part of the climb up the ladder under Worsfold they'll find players.But it really depends on the fallout.If players start legal action against the club, and the cracks start to open, they're History.(I actually feel uncomfortable making a case for them not being finished...so I'm going to stop now.) "Theyre screwed!"That feels better Quote Selected Last Edit: January 14, 2016, 06:16:20 pm by Lods

Re: 2016 Ladder - Going Early Reply #52 – March 16, 2016, 09:20:01 pm The Hun ran a poll of experts asking them the top eight, premiership, Brownlow and last place.Out of two dozen "experts" only one failed to pick EssenScum to finish last, Jon "Malph" Ralph picked Carlton to finish last.Now tonight Ralph's published a story discussing Daisy's Dollar Deals, Ralph is trying hard to destabilise our club so that his ladder prediction comes true. He thinks he can make Bolton bite like Malthouse and Swann used to bite. He thinks he can cause trouble amongst the playing list like the way they bullied us into offloading Robinson, Garlett and others. Ralph might as well just bite himself. The Judge, Bolton and SOS have put those days long behind us! Carlton are on the up! Quote Selected

True. And can he change his spots? I doubt it. I expect to see his mouth open often, and not positively. Quote Selected

The Judge, Bolton and SOS have put those days long behind us! Carlton are on the up! We may yet finish on the bottom, if our list cannot stay reasonably fit. That was one of our main issues in 2015.If we HAVE to play the kids before they are ready, then we may well be bottom. But that doesn't bother me. I will be happy to see us being competitive and to see the list develop (as it hasn't for far too long).Essendon, on the other hand, look more like we were in 2003 - 2006. They will need a LOT of draft luck to turn that around. (I am really happy about that - is their an emoji for smile like a shark?) As for Mr. Ralph, I doubt our staff will be worrying about his credibility that much. More likely to take notice of Caro (and that is hard enough for anyone). Quote Selected

Re: 2016 Ladder - Going Early Reply #56 – March 18, 2016, 11:23:57 am Ralph shot himself in the foot rather grandly when commenting on our lame performance against cheats.com.au a few weeks back.In his comments he rolled out low level stats for a number of players failing to understand that most of the players he mentioned had very limited game time... the kind of howling mistake you'd expect from a rookie journalist shortly after his lobotomy.
