Amazing to think there is a huge chance that the swans, hawks and pies all start the year 0-2

I won't measure it in goals personally but I think track will have a decent influence for us this year, he is going to be a star

I think petracca is already as good as jake stringer and we will see this very clearly as the year plays out.

Interestingly hawthorn people who had track training there in his under age year said his attitude was the best of all the young players they've seen and they were shocked he didn't go pick 1. I remember asking at the time if they were aware of any attitude issues, and they said outside of him being quite cocky/arrogant there wasn't so maybe it's a rumour we spread to get him at pick 2

I think paddy will become a good player in time, probably not elite but a good player. Petracca is already a good player and looks well on the way to being elite. But they needed a key forward at the Time and we needed mids.

Problem is that it's a crap strategy, why recruit someone you know is a list clogger?

You can tell the swans are missing a few but their depth is exactly why they're consistently a top 2-3 team.

Dogs don't look hungry

Pies should be 5-6 goals up really. Shows the sort of difference foot skills make

Caddy is a funny player he's not really good enough to be a full time mid or forward.

Fasolo is a selfish flat track bully, I doubt he would get near a game at a decent team.

Can't see either coach seeing out the season

The mistakes are amazing

I believe Dom and jack are actully very good kicks when they are mindful of their limitations, same with the mcdonald brothers. I reckon if goody was worried he wouldn't pick them.

Not much when you dominate possession the way we did! If we lost and that was the case I'd be worried

When clarry starts regularly hitting the score board, and he will, he will become one of the comps best mids very quickly

What are your balanced views on the recruitment of jimmy Toumpas? So glad we got him instead of that dud Ollie wines!

As entertaining as I find your posts picket I don't think your view is ever "balanced"

Well apart from your numerous calls to re-draft juice newton.

It's a battle of the midfields, if Carlton win the midfield battle it'll be a tight game if we win it'll get ugly very quickly. I suspect we will see a burst of goals from us at some stage

I think the other thing to remember is oscar was playing on one of the best forwards ever with the ball flying in there in the first quarter.

We don't need him to be the "tough guy" anymore either we just need him to be consistent because his skills and vital to our chances when he plays. We have a team now that I don't think will be physically intimidated by anyone really

Dees by 30, Carlton will come out breathing fire but we will be to good over four quarters

Imagine the list we would have if Jason Taylor had control of all the picks the suns or giants got? I really think sos is an extremely overrated recruiter and has set Carlton back with some of his giants imports I mean why would anyone bother with Jed lamb or palmer??

This will be a great test of how much we have grown as a team, danger game
