The folks who knew a bit more about Paul Bower kept giving him contracts too......Polson is real lucky to get another contract based on what he has delivered IMO.

Do you get to any VFL EB1? Seriously, this kid Polson deserved a game 5 or 6 weeks back when SoJ got a game for doing nada! Further to that, listening to the radio today while watching the game it was heart breaking to hear the so called experts questioning SoJ's future, they basically accused our club of manufacturing a position for him! But that's been the worry all along, a game for the name, and when the luddites in the media get hold of that concept you know it's no longer a mere subtlety! Then when Polson is run out of form, after 3 or 4 really good weeks in the VFL, for reasons I do not know they promote him to AFL! We've been doing this sh1t for years! It's like there is some bean-counting fork-wit adding up how many kilometres they run before they get a big boy game!

Possibly..but the Bower folk have moved on. There is an upside to this bloke...whether he makes it or not won't be known this season. But we'll bookmark it.

I'm with you Elwood, I haven't seen a thing from him that makes me think he'll cut it at AFL level. If he gets a game next week we aren't fair dinkum.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

We have alot of good kids who have played some good footy this year, plus we have 2 bonafide superstars. Injuries or not we should be doing better than just one win from 14 games after 13 on top of close losses in the last 2 years. Thank goodness for Essendon!

But I'm backing him down the track...we'll have to wait and see. "I told you so's" can wait 12 months...he's with us for a while. Noticed today that he's quite vocal on field too...directing others. So he doesn't lack for confidence.

Maybe the coach can find two players...one for Zorko and one for Beams......hasnt bothered in the past but maybe this time we can just do some pre planning and work out who has been doing the damage against us and not let history repeat itself like it has for the last 2-3 seasons...

Poor old Pulse had a shocker, some critical 50s given away. 2 pts at 3/4 time and I thought we were a real chance. Flippa was very good today, Charlie is just special and as I said last week, will only get better, and I mean scary better. I liked bits of Picketts game, what a shame he got injured early in the year. He is just what we need. The difference today was they kicked the ones they had to and we didn't. Wrighty had one to forget and has been ordinary by his standards for a bit. We simply cant carry passengers (Mullet, SPS, Polson). I normally tend to avoid talking about umpires but they had a shocker today.

Not sure about the rules these days but it used to be that if you made a goal post move it used to be a goal. Garletts second shot was overturned on video review after the PA player smashed into the post trying to touch it. The post was wobbling like crazy before the ball went through. I thought that negated the hit-the-post rule?
Hit the back of the post too. Dodgy call I reckon.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?
