    He's a solid second tier player. Good for him, except getting 25 touches against us.

      He is.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        Actually were Richmond looking likely at the end od 2012? Swap them for Collingwood otherwise.
        He went to a club with self-entitled supporters rather than a club with dumbarse supporters. Good for him!

        In honesty, I think he's a magnificent footballer and unlike others I was very happy to get him out of the club for what the trade returned. He wanted out, we wanted him out and we're all better for it.

        I don't think he should be on TV though. But I think most people who are on TV shouldn't be on TV. It's a problem.
        TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

          I think Darley's probably up to it, wouldn't be surprised if he gets a second chance if he cools his head a little and can focus his way though a game.

            Yeah, no. Great footballer. I change my mind on a daily basis over whether Tits or Brain was the best fullback I saw in our jumper. I know that I wouldn't have relished playing on either of them.

              Brian's intercept marking would really hurt you. Tits would just hurt you.
              But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                Back in Ricky's day they would have thought intercept marking was for wimps. What fun was it unless you could crash into someone? Simon Beasley turned his intercept mark against Collingwood into a contested mark with Greg Phillips for posterity.

                  Good luck with that Brendon

                  Carlton coach Brendon Bolton says discarded forward Liam Jones is a chance to come into the side to face Fremantle on Sunday, as the Blues look address their inability to score.

                    He still has a year to go after this doesn't he? Good old uncle Mick.

                      Took some ripper marks against the Cats last week. Will be interesting to see how he goes. I'm almost at the point where I feel sorry for him, almost.

                        He's the best payed player in the VFL. He's doing alright.

                          I just hope for his sake the Carlton supporters aren't mean to him, he's a very sensitive soul. Knowing how rational and generous they are with under performing player he'll be fine

                              Meh! He can afford really good therapy.

                                I still don't get the angst towards Jones? He didn't really do anything that bad to the club. VFL Grand final hero and I'll always have respect for him for that. He's still really good mates with some of our best 22 as well so I hate seeing him ripped on here all the time.

                                He's a guy I do hope does find his feet one day.
