ur inability to spot carroll because of his new haircut hardly needed a new thread

 
A man of many haircuts and little talent.

Carroll did ok today - certainly no worse than anyone else!

The hairstyle is one thing - but the mo is gone too, I don't know if I can get used to this!

I thought he was fairly average today, but who wasn't?

Backmen are unlucky in that any errors they make are magnified x100 because the consequences can be so much greater.

I agree.

I saw lots of errors today - lost count of how many times we kicked straight to Richmond, so I don't think we can really point the finger at any one player to lay blame. You are right though - if a defender makes an error, or has a bad day, and a goal is kicked we think he's horrible. But if a forward kicks a point instead of a goal he generally doesn't get so much abuse.

I think people should just lay off Chopper, he did ok today. He made a few good saves and put a bit of effort into the game. He certainly wasn't the worst defender out there today, he just makes himself more visible!

Hardly, Carroll got smashed in the air by a resting mid-fielder with 10kgs less body weight - Brett Deledio.

Time to go Chop chop

Time to go Chop chop

Brett Deledio has freakish marking ability. Nothing Chop could of done about 2-3 of those marks yesterday.

I watched Carroll closely yesterday and noticed that he either has very poor judgment as to where the ball will end up after a kick to his opponent or he doesn't trust his own judgment and reacts solely to the movements of his opponent and so he gets out positioned cos he's not in the right place or he's still on his way there cos not using his own judgment and relying on his opponents judgment.

when he attacks the ball kicked to a pack his courage allows him to do the gutsy thing and spoil & split the pack but the pack has already let him know where the ball will be and therefore where to run to, the pack has in effect done the judgment thing for him

He should trust himself more or work on his judgment skills cos if he solved that issue he would be much more of a player

Edit: I'm not bagging him & I would like to see him succeed as he has a hell of allot of heart


On this forum I know for a fact Hoopla likes Chopper.

He also used to like Al Nicholson.

Enough said there!

I think Chopper should get the axe and play somewhere up country where his lack of skills can be hidden by his fearsome looks.

He looks a bit YMCA Blue Oyster Bar ish at AFL level so I'm sure he can find a league of his own somewhere.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
