Quote:SPS - majorly underwhelming nothing player thought he went ok today and is definitely one who has improved
Dow - f##k me, Murphy and Gibbs level of turn over. Everything he touches turns to crap - shocker today and needs to learn/relearn how to kick but what, his second year?
O'Brien - what does he offer other than never hitting a target by over kicking it - should never have been taken at 10 - he's a 3rd round draft pick, maybe.
Kennedy - Who? Is he ever fit? I rate this guy - should have played last week AND today. BB couldn't be seen to admit he screwed up in selecting LOB last week....
C Curnow - Wow! Talk about believing you're own press. His nick name needs to be changed to the juggler. Never have I seen such a high draft pick other than Dow and Murphy double grab everything whenever the ball goes near him you'd reckon his head can't fit through doorways presently.
Lang - yeah, it made me laugh when we traded for him too. Played 2s today - his best is very good, just haven't seen it at CFC yet.
Plowman - a Backman guaranteed to have a minimum of two massive turn overs kicking across goal a game. Should be instructed to never kick the ball. Horrid! I rate Plowman...nor Robinson caruso on the blunder bus

My seat at the G on Friday night must have been on a strange angle because from where I sat Grundy was close to BOG. English was smashed.

I’m pleased to read positive posts but the facts remain: as we have so many players both experienced and new to the club who lack basic kicking skills and seem to automatically make dumb decisions week in and week out, how can we improve?
Hands on heart we were told by the club that this year would see an improvement over last year. Supporters bought into it and membership has increased. What a load of rubbish. Just the same old same old.

Witts smashes Walsh in a marking contest and Cripps flys the flag. Do any of the other 22 blokes have any stones? Dies that have to do everything?
Pathetic.

I've probably been Daisy's bandwagon #1 ticket holder since the day he was recruited....and reason being was because he would show the rest of our rabble how to go about it, continually.
It was never about how good of a player he was/is/will be, it was about effort, brains and work rate. He has been to the top of the tree and knows whats required to get there. We cannot say the same of any other player on the list.
We need more daisy types on the list, and we'll 'magically' improve.
Yes based on all of the cr@p that used to be heaped on him.

Prof, Flying the flag has never been one of our strong points for a few years now. Cripps is doing everything he can and you have to wonder how long he can keep it up?

Find a few hard nuts - ASAP. Even if he's not a great footballer...

Holman, he has stones. Wasn't he on our list, oh, that's right, SoS cut him.

We might have not seen the last couple of years coming but the exodus of our blokes engineering exit strategies points to the players knowing what was coming and choosing to go rather than ride out a rebuild.
Not that he's any good anyway. I'm not worried that we dont have him. You can count the number of players who left carlton and have been as good or better on one hand or less and weve turned over 60 players in the last few years.
For everyone paying out on Murphy he was good today. Hes just not as good as we needed him to be. Ed curnow cost us more. But they both did a mountain of work.
We are going to be stuck in honorable loss mode for the foreseeable future.
