Round 1 - Blues v Tigers (21 March) Pre-Game

[LP]

Nope, not so.

Carrots was always a ball magnet...even if his ball use was so so early on.

Polson barely touches the ball during a game....and doesn't even get big numbers in the 2s.

Don;t get me wrong I love Carrazzo, but Carrazzo wasn't a ball magnet back then, in his first year he was a run-with tagger at Geelong, in his second year courtesy of injuries he got a midfield rotation and won the VFL teams B&F purely as a result of his possession count at VFL level, yet the Cats still didn't pick him up on the senior list because excluding handballs he could hit a barn by foot! So we picked him up but also as a rookie, not part of the senior list. What possessions he was getting came at VFL level for almost the first 3 years of his career, and he wasn't all that different from Poulson at VFL level.

By his 5th or 6th season Carrazzo won a B&F, yet I suspect after the same period of time Poulson could well be a better player.
