Kicked 7.1 this year and averaging about 12 touches in a team being slaughtered.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Following our ex's...................
Thanks for the updates on Grant. Didn't realise he had come back from his injury a few weeks ago.
7.1 is a decent return for the year. Could do with him tomorrowComment

Re: Following our ex's...................
We haven't made just one howler when it comes to letting players go. One year two of our ex players tied for the Brownlow. It was the year after another ex player won it, we let him go because he couldn't run around the ground enough times at training. It was about the time the bloke who won a Brownlow while playing with us left to go to another club.
Funnily enough the Brownlow medalist leaving us made us a better team. We didn't have him to rely on anymore to win a game for us with a half of blistering football. We had to recruit other players to play a role.They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.Comment

And Liam Jones is headed to his first double digit disposal game in two years with 4 handballs to nearly half time.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Following our ex's...................
I'm not sure how to report this. Jones got 12 touches which is his best return since Round 13 2014 (which was 16). But it was his equal worst kicks per game (3) and marks per game (1) for Carlton.
In a young team of 29 players playing this year for Carlton. He's ranked 25th for disposals (& only 6 effective touches a game) and 25th for dream team scores out of the 29 Carlton players. 23rd for tackles and 23rd for marks. Has not yet registered a goal assist. I wonder if he's working hard enough?Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Following our ex's...................
8 goals in 5 games. That's quite poor, but it's his actual career best average. Thank God he's not with us or I'd have to enter that in the career best thread.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Following our ex's...................
Damn it, I was ready to congratulate Carlton colleagues on Liam hitting double figures. His team mates must have got around him for cheap hand balls to get him over the line. This isn't malicious just humorous! It's been a running joke across offices in a couple of States.They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.Comment
