It's Finally Happened......Carlton has overtaken us!
They are $10 for the flag in 2009
We are $13
With most of us wearing our rose coloured glases, the emotionless bookies think the blues will get there before us...
SAY IT ISN'T SO!!

They don't have a backline.....
When it comes to sports, if you haven't got a solid defence, you will not win premierships/titles/grand finals ect.
All these Carlton supporters can get as excited as they want, so far after our 1st picks (Roo & Goddard) we haven't won a flag.....
When compared to their picks (Gibbs, Murphy & Kruezer).....
I'd take our boys anyday.

If you think $10 for the Princes Park Rabble is good value, PM me I'll offer you a better deal to give your money.
FWIW, before the start of last season, Freo were $11, Port $11, WC $12 . . . all shorter than us.
If you're using premiership odds as any indication of anything other than how poor they are in forecasting premiership chances then you are seriously kidding yourself.
But like I said, if you think Carlton are a chance, PM me and I'll offer you much better than $10.

Agree with you Bigmart , they will be a damn good team in 2009 .
They also have a young bloke across halfback called Bower that is going to be a good player this too . Did a very good job on Franklin last year .
If we take them lightly , they'll beat us . It's all guns firing when we meet them in 2009 .

his groin is technically shaky and has been since the operation.
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.

They may make the 8 if they have no major injuries, but they are no closer to a premiership than we are, I'd even say we are closer to it than they are right now.
Have you noticed how Fevola struggles against good full backs, can't get a kick against Max, Scarlett or Fletcher.
There defence is suspect and have no ruck division, Kreuzer is a long way from being a dominate ruckman.

waite is top shelf, thornton is terrible, walker could beBigMart wrote:Doesn't Jarred Wait play for Carlton????
and Brett Thornton???
and Andrew Walker???
I think a midfield of
Warnock, Judd, Gibbs, Stevens, Murphy, Bentick, Carrazzo, Scotland
A fwd line
Fevola, Kruezer, Fisher, Betts, Houlihan is dangerous
They will be a good team in 2009 - Make NO mistake
warnock has done nothing yet, judd - given, gibbs could be great, stevens - meh, murphy already is super, bentick - ummm...no, carazzo will struggle to maintain a place once more children are drafted, scotland - isn't he the guy with the tattoo???

Waite is easy to expose down back - simply drag him close to goal.
Up forward, he doesn't have a clue how to play the position and helps clutter their forward line.
If Waite is top shelf, we have 15 all-Australians.
