Was handy at Sydney too. I wonder what his golf swing is like these days?

Everitt is going well for Carlton. Has a great tank and is a good kick for goal.
I'm sure I had misgivings about the trade for Vezpremi.
Likewise, the delisting of Grant ahead of other candidates for last off the list, although his form at Gold Coke has been below what he was turning out for us last year - I guess he is playing more a forward role for GC and this would reduce the output. But, still, I think he could have been handy for us over the last 5 weeks.
Perhaps he has matured a bit, but he certainly had an attitude when he was with us.
As an aside I read recently that Spider said growing up the family always called him Andrew. That is what he was known to everyone. Unfortunately his mum is from a dutch background...I think it was dutch....and spelled it differently on his birth certificate. The family were initially amazed that he wasn't called Andrew when he started his AFL career.
Carlton's feeder club were the televised game today, and Jones was ineffectual again. I'm not having a cheapie on him, but what has happened to him? For a while with us he was at least leading contested mark in the AFL. It's just a fact that he got dropped mid 2014 and left at the end of the year and Carlton paid for and believed they got a good player. But since landing at Carlton he's played 17 VFL games for 25 goals and 14 AFL games for 15 goals - not hitting double digit average disposals and his marking which was his strength has vanished too. What has happened with him, he should at least be dominating the VFL but he looks so far away from it when he is theoretically in his peak fitness and maturity???

The conclusion has to be that he should be reunited with Macca.
I wonder if anyone has sat down and talked to the lad like Jock did with Lofty in The Club? Jock found out that Lofty's bed was too small and Lofty hadn't had a decent night's sleep in months. Maybe it's something as simple as that.
Liam and Geoff Hawarth were both Tasmanian. It's probably the same problem young Geoff had.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
