bad thread - depressing even. why don't you make it about carlton players we hate or something? i reckon our list needs support not bitchy bitchass comments from so-called 'supporters'!!

He will Last Longer than you Roost-This thread is a disgrace, and should be deleted.

Dissing a guy before he has played a game....Very Poor Form.

Listen, we have all spent alot of time, myself included, talking up the "potential" of our list and when they will start winning premeirships. I thought it time to see if anyone out there thought any of our players weren't upto the task of Premeirships. I'm more than happy to be proved wrong on Tapscott but I don't think I will be, this hardly constitutes "dissing" him. As for Moloney, I admire his passion and I respect the way he goes about it. Do I think he'll be in our best 22 in 3 - 4 years time. Not when Grimes, Scully, Trengove, Morton, Jones, Blease, Bennel, Davey and co rule the midfield.

Some seem to think he can do no wrong

Name names.

I'm not trying to be petty, but I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. The general vibe on Bruce around these parts is negative, and I doubt there's a single poster who doesn't recognise he commits too many clangers.

I think he cops far more crap than is warranted.

I'd like to remind everybody about the objects of Demonland which basically amount to supporting the Melbourne Football Club and its players.

That doesn't preclude criticism of players but not of the sort some are resorting to here. It's neither clever, smart or constructive so I've taken the step of locking this thread with apologies to those who made some of the sensible contributions to this discussion.

I don't consider this to be censorship because nothing prevents people from posting reasoned critical views on another thread or at the original source for this topic.

Thank you and have a happy new year.
