    Agree that we do already have our fair share of under 180cm types on the list.
    I don't care what his height is listed at, he's the smallest player in the AFL. Just not physical enough.

      Although he's (Buckley) the thug who very aggressively late in a game smashed Toby McLean's shoulder which subsequently hindered his development. No for me just because I've never liked him since this incident.

        Cheap shotting =/= physicality. Anyone can line someone up.

          Yeah he's no good. Does not play at Carlton because he's not good enough and will be delisted next year. He is way too slight, he's quick but needs to be quicker, his hands are ok but he never finds the ball and is too short to be effective in the air. He also finds it hard to impose himself and I'm loathe to bring players in that need others to make them better. You need to be self-sufficient in our team if you want to crack best 25.

          Still, since Jarrad has gone and Suckers has been injured there is definitely a spot for him as the whipping boy at the club.
          But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

            I think Roberts has that covered
            I should leave it alone but you're not right

              Nah, Declan Hamilton got anointed with that the other day on woof.

                Roberts deserves it in all honesty. Why we don't play Roughie and Hamling as our keys is beyond me. Roberts just looks like a very good country footballer out there. I don't see it.

                Whipping boy Will has to come in soon doesn't he? Everyone's fav in the VFL vs everyone's whipping boy in the AFL.

                    It's like Paul Hudson never retired.
                    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                        Is Roughy the best defender to never really play that well in defence? I don't get the calls for Roughead going back.

                          Media are running with Jack Riewoldt possibly being unhappy. Yes, please. Throw all the Hurley money at him!

                            I can still remember with horror registering the fact that Huddo was going to get in Grant's way. I just assumed (along with pretty much everyone else in the ground) that Huddo would shepherd Chris into the goal square for the simple goal. Instead he caused a turnover. I knew then we were done.

                              Have to agree if that's true. Overlooking him for Everitt still haunts me, we can put it to bed. What they would want is another thing.
