I would expect Armo to overtake X this year, and would pay him in a midfield role round 1, ahead of X... We have seen X go to water too often throughout his career, and has not taken the next step... Armo is a tank of a boy and will bruise the opposition when he gets an opportunity.. Buckley made a ...

but like most of us bigcarl we love to see our players rated high by people other than sainters. Good to see he has Harves above Buckley :D I agree.... Buckley is always talked up, along with Hird and Voss, but he is the one i had the most question marks on... Dont mind seeing Hird and Voss ahead o...

Not a fan of CJ's in regard to best 22, but he has pushed himself ahead of Fiora.. We all know fiora has the skills, all the physical skills atleast, but he is never going to grow the heart, and/or brain he needs to really succeed at the top level, and put his god given talents to good use.. He will...

Reality should be faced now instead of getting hopes up... Clint is a good honest tryer, who should be commended for his efforts.. But he is not up to the level required.. If he gets a spot in the side, we aint gonna go very far... His disposal is not the worst part.. his decision making is deploarb...

IMO, the bombers will be using a wooden spoon to stir it?!!

I love every second of it.... They will be crying on about it all year, and even with a '100%' fit team, it will be hard to hear them when they are squeeling from the bottom rungs of the ladder.. Brilliant...

Didnt manage to catch the game tonight, due to work, and was wondering how Leigh Fisher played... Radio doesnt give much insight... He sagnated abit last year, but has all the attributes to be a bull half back/back pocket IMO.. strong, consistent, good overhead, and brave.. Up until '07 he worked th...

one of your best posts brown-coat... you are spot on, we have been thier bitch for years.. last years loss cut me deep... injuries or not, it seemed like we didnt believe we could win.. we were and are better than them.. Retribution starts tomoro.. we have got our own back with Carlton over the past...

really this is a joke.. pretty much the 2 best Vic teams playing interstate, and without pay tv is impossible to access... yet the blues and hawks, from the Dome, is on free to air and every radio station??.. makes sense.

Asked to ruck at 20 yo by the stuper coach who didn't rate ruckpersons. Gives it a crack, including 4 on ball goals while rucking in a flogging in Adelaide. Eventually gets given the chance to settle at CHB. Plays a game vs Melbourne, early '05 (guessing - it was the Cam Bruce/Guerra game), when th...

any radio stations covering it... particularly MMM as i get no AM reception at work, where ill be this afternoon??..

Didnt he apparently knock back a rather hefty sum from the blues during the off season, taking less to stay a saint.. Not that the blues necassarily make great recruiting decisions, but he is a valuable player.. I have alot of respect for the way he plays the game and carries himself.. He will be ba...

Im enjoying the Carlton optimism at the moment.. I think we all know where they are heading, but letting thier supporters have their time in the sun in feb/march is a great way to lead into a new season of cellar dwelling for them.. Judd will be lucky to play a dozen games... He stated in the weeken...

Your easily pleased after one practice game. I'd have Eddy ahead of Hayes and Ball because they did nothing on Friday. Miles displayed atributes never seen from the other players I mentioned. He seems to be a great spoiler, has genuine pace and works hard. He won't lose his athleticism, attack on t...

Im surprised by the amount of support there is put there for Rix.. He is in the bottom 2% of listed footballers, in the whole AFL.. He simply can not play.. Back, forward, ruck... There is nothing there... Undoubted he is an excellent athelete and well put together physically, but he does not belong...

I am a fan of Gwilts, and think he is often unfairly criticised around here abit... He was picked as a smokey with the idea of giving him time.. Sure, he hasnt set the world on fire yet, but he has all the right attributes to do so.. He has a great body for the game, and good overhead skills.. His k...

If the pies win, and comfortably, the lid will be off by saturday night.. Flag favourites, and Pendelbry for brownlow for sure in mondays paper..

Cant wait for the proper stuff to get goin..

I have a love for it as much as ever, as does my dad, who goes back to the late 50's or so... but we both go through times when you have to shake your head.. I felt most disenchanted with football a few years back when Barry Hall got off at the tribunal appeal for punching Goose.. That really was a ...

Dont see why the article is necassary... Havnt seen the cats, WCE or Syd do it in the past three years, so not too sure of the point of it all... Pretty sure such rubbish doesnt make you kick or mark better... Increase pace maybe?!!... All just a waste of time, and ill bet that this years premier do...

Brett Moyle tore up the track every year... Ferguson could be following in his footsteps this year..

yes it does.. police over-reaction again no doubt... seriously loosing touch with society are the boys in blue... give me a break..

Probably get burned for this, but it is a massive year for Max.. Didnt get going last year and is getting older, it will be interesting to see how he comes up this year.. Hopefully Goose and Chips can take over the mantle as the leaders of the backline, so he will get a lesser player whom he should ...

Dal, Harvs, Kosi and L.Fisher are the best under pressure.. Dal has taken a leaf out of Harveys book about keeping cool when surrounded.. They are the 2 stand outs... At the other end of the spectrum is Max.. Without doubt the worst when he has possesion and is under pressure... His possesion abilit...

we will be 9-2 without doubt... cats are a tough one, and we will loose one of the port or lions games away.. I do not understand this carlton theme that so many are running with.. "good start to the year", "judd in the middle" yada yada... They will be fighting it out for the sp...

Alright if some of you must know then I will tell you. He lied about being in bed before midnight the night Benny boy got locked up. He was out till 3:30AM that morning. He also got himself into trouble with your club when he went to Broome with his mate Benny 2 or 3 months back. The club actually ...
