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

This isn't to say he doesn't need to improve or some aspects of his game arent frustrating, clearly what you mean is they think he is worth persisting with, despite some frustrations from supporters which are probably fair enough in some cases. I think saty sometimes you ignore what are fair criticisms of players by being a bit to bias. Oscar is young and will be good but is clearly not perfect

Certainly but I think the suspension had as much to do with bernies record as it did the action. for me that action warrants a fine at worst if no other factors come into play. Bottom line is a leader should not be doing that rubbish. Now he misses a game for it.

we don't second guess anything now, it's all instinct, they don't hesitate they just take the kick into the corridor and it opens the game right up, yes sometimes we stuff up and look silly but it allows us to score around the 120 mark each game and if our defence is good it puts us right in the range to be a finals chance

While I understand the concern we showed two things against the saints that I haven't seen in years maturity and leadership, in the past we would have lost that game by 5 goals but Jones, Vince, Lewis, gawn, McDonald and Oliver stood up when the heat was on and Jesse hogan is just reaching the level of scary good very quickly

I am extremely confident he will be fine! So much of his best work is In tight anyways and if they tag him it leaves Viney jones and Lewis on their own which seems dangerous amazing to think dom Tyson who I seriously rate is probably 5th or 6th in line in our mids now.

Get the feeling the giants are believing their own hype, the crows are working so much harder but not finishing off their work

People forget that these guys cheated. They aren't innocent victims, if they had any evidence at all they could have proved their innocence, they didn't even keep their own personal records. I hate this returning hero mentality, no one should be celebrated for doing the wrong thing

What I think goes unnoticed about clarry a bit given his grunt and amazing quick hands is his ball use, went at 88% and opened the game right up multiple times. Hes a beast on the inside but looks capable of doing serious damage on the outside.

I can't think of a better individual performance by a second year player in years, Oliver is a freak! I thought brayshaw looked great when he was in the middle as well

would be pretty surprised if this was more than a fine

I reckon Vince gets a fine, low impact and reckless smith goes out, Tyson comes in

He was electric! Reminded me of chad Wingard

1. Feel deeply for rewoldt 2. Jordan Lewis was huge 3. Clarry is amazing 4. We need to back that up now.

6.lewis 5.gawn 4. Oliver 3. N.jones 2. Vince 1. Hogan

This is gross, our two best key backs are probably the two most unskillful players in the comp. won't win a flag with that being the case

Oh I didn't realise he was playing, sorry

I actually think the change helps them! Bit worried we don't have Jetta to help cover the mozzie fleet
