I seem to remember that joke before on the boards. But it's still funny

Jones got 3 didn't he? $400,000 per year or so?

Holy Smoke. Over the top overs.

The second hand card yard that is Carlton keeps me warm at night! Has anyone seen Boekhurst play? It wasn't a good sign when he wasn't in the side round one considering they spent a high pick on him and he was already 21. Quick fix again Mick?

So are we calling players at the end of their careers plodders as a rule now?

No just on current output. Great players in their day but they've really dropped off. Carazzo always had low hurt factor.

With the ball I agree, but he did good things for the Carlton midfield in his defencive and feeding work. With Judd and Murphy running through there a lot of heavy lifting needed to be done, and he did it well.

Carazzo's had a pretty handy AFL career, but I guess you'd have to question there selections.
For a team allegedly in a rebuild playing the likes of Carazzo and dropping Nick Graham on 10 minutes is confusing .
They're all over the shop

His manager should get manager of the year if this is the case.
Jones should be paying them and then repay whatever we paid him for the privilege of playing AFL.
Prize Spud when he started and roasted spud now.

Re: Liam Jones' First Outing In Carton Colours

Anyone willing to take a nibble on Yarran come year's end? Will be up for grabs.

Obviously a supremely talented player, but unquestionably has under delivered. Seems half back is his best position - haven't seen him impact many games as a forward, whilst he doesn't have the tank for midfield (or arguably the defensive mindset).

There's a lot of cons about going after Yarran, but buying when his stocks are at their lowest could be savvy. Not sure we need him anyway, given our half backs look OK, but worth asking the question.

I'd take him in a heartbeat. Our club needs all the talent it can get, and anyone that can run and deliver as well as Yarran can when he's at his best gets a spot in any premiership side. No questions asked.

At 24 he's had his career judged in the same way a guy who's finishing his career would. All of the commentary seems to revolve around him having reached his limits. I call BS on that. He has talent and run to burn, and I'd give up a lot to get him to our club.

His lack of any defensive side worries me greatly . Gets a bit of the hang dog look when Carlton struggle .

Agreed. Good in a good side but very ordinary in a bad one. But, we will be a very good side...

Re: Liam Jones' First Outing In Carton Colours

It's a good question TBB and I can't really make my mind up. He has talent but lacks heart, he provides great attack but no defence. Watching the way Hunter stood out on the weekend makes me think Yarran wouldn't fit in with the way we want to play as he is now. The big question is do we think we can change him?

Hunter is the first player I thought of when Yarran was mentioned. I'd love his running and kicking but I see him standing and watching all too often.
