Can't you? I can't!

Thanks for the pickup, I hate that team

Marc Murphy looks very fit and strong.
Daniel Rich looks fit.

Both should be in for good seasons, especially Murphy again.

Brisbane still would be cursing he turned his back on them.

Re: Round 2 - Non- Bulldog Games

Powerful effort by Carlton tonight. They have serious talent across every line. Kreuzer is like an awesome, skilful, younger version of Ben Hudson - just a competitive animal. They will be there when the whips are cracking in September.

Kade Simpson was pick 45 in the crap 2003 draft. His run & carry, his elite fitness and his huge left peg would find a happy home on the Doug Hawkins wing right about now. The folly of trading away picks on journeymen

Is this just a statement or is it based on something in tonight's game?

Who said Brisbane were a dark horse?
Just shows how crap Melbourne are really.
Unfortunately I don't see us getting 2 top 5 picks cos there are a few really bad teams.

Why would he have Rockliff on the pine?
Then he puts him on the backline!
Kept Merrett in the F50! While they're getting pantsed
Unjust that Brisbane get a 5 day break though, due to the AFL's silliness in pulling out the "no Good Friday tradition". Honestly they play on Sunday's FFS!
Unfortunately the Blue Cheats will be there or there abouts in Sept( personally think West Coast are a better team)

Re: Round 2 - Non- Bulldog Games

Without seeing any of the game. My doubts for Carlton are lack a of key forward and only Jamieson down back. Not sure they can overcome that against the WCs, cats, pies and hawks.

Based on his record last year and this year, just got no idea, good player doesnt mean good coach

I also wonder about Hird and Buckley but at least they have back up behind them.

Buckley has had a bit of experience being an assistant for a while at Collingwood. When Hird come in at Essendon he had no previous coaching experience. Macca for us I think is a good coach with being an assistant at Geelong when they were in those grand finals and Essendon. I think though it can go both ways. A team can have good players with potential but a bad coach or a team can have players not up to scratch but a decent coach.

They are 1-1.

If we get beaten by Adelaide and are 0-2 does that mean B-Mac can't coach either?

He might be able to coach but not sure the club has gone forward under under his rein.

They had Gibbs and a few others out in the final at Subiaco last year and did everything but get over the line. Kreuzer drifting down forward in tandem with Hampson is unconventional but can be effective. They have the best batch of small forwards in the comp and Waite/Walker is the x-factor that either goes missing or wins game off their own boot. Last year's premier had J Pod and Hawkins in the key posts - hardly an all-star cast. They definitely need Jamison down back to add some defensive steel to their back 50, but the move of Yarran to HB has been a master stroke. They have good depth in the mid sized defenders - Tuohy has slotted in seemlessly to AFL. Their midfield bats as deep as anyone's now, and is just about the best going around - it is very versatile too, with quality ball hunters, excellent outside distributors and defensive-oriented hard nuts. I reckon they are almost a lock for top 4, and anything can happen from there.
