If we do decide to go with Carroll and have said no Ben Cousins, then I deserve all the crap that i will recieve from work collegues as it is proven that i support a rabble. I bleed red white and black but sometimes I wonder why.

I can assume Carrol is all but ruled out also then.
Once again, some are assuming that NC is a done deal like BC. :roll:

NC is what, 28? As a defender could play for 5 years.

I'm not discounting BC's potential impact, but recruiting NC would help our defence and free up some runners into the midfield.

And a handy back up if Max goes down. Different player, different role.

Will be picked up in the PSD. BC may have cost us a draft pick in what everyone so often reminded us is the last "uncompromised" draft.

Big picture... big picture.
What a gun this player taken with pick 90 something is gonna be, honestly why bother, just go with a smaller list for the season.
the key to our success is finally breaking free the players that have had to play back for so long - gram, fish and bj...this year we were given a hint of what is to come

plenty of times gram and bj were easily beaten in defence and offered bugger all in it...we developed an idea of them actually being decent defenders due to their kicking and occassional dash...they are attacking players...not defensive

having carroll down back could be a good thing...he is a natural defender despite being a natural twat...but lets hope he can change his ways

i would give him more than a half chance of actually succeeding if he took the third tall every week, maybe even second, max and or goose take the first, dempster comes in to account...then we have carroll who would become a handy back pocketier for us...

faith people...
Hopefully, you can add X and Bakes in that lot.
hehehe, oh the charade. So AF says we are going for youth. Did we not sign him for another year, I think? Did he play 6 games last year? meh.
Different case altogether. MG is a ruckman, and like key backmen, we ain't exactly flushed with depth, are we?

The theory that we signed MG as lure to get BC, is as intelligent as Bush's reign as US president.

So why would they do THAT if they weren't going to take BC?

1 + 1 = 567.


The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.

So if we follow that logic... they have never made a bad one?

Hehe, yeah


I fully support the board on this one. If they couldn't be convinced he was 100% clean and ready to go, then they shouldn't decide to pick him up, which they didn't.

It's easy for people on this forum to take pot shots at the board. But you have no idea what they board used to make it's decision, what information it had access to that wasn't in the public spotlight.

Pathetic, juvenile reaction by many apparent supporters in this thread. No wonder I don't frequent here much...

Great decision... bring on 2009 with a group of enthusiastic draft choices who can be 10 - 15 year premiership players for our club!!
