That was last year T.

Whilst I am a huge AB fan lets not get too carried awy for flowers sake.Ratten turned out to be in my view one of the top 10 players ever to play for the club.If Bentick turns out to be half as good we will all be happy.

AB is one of a handful of players that keep me watching replays of this years games on Foxtel He's got a great attitude and I really hope he makes it, along with the other young blokes

As I mentioned it took an outsider to give Ratten the opportunity to shine in the mid-field, sometimes all players like AB need is an opportunity, I'm not sure if Mrs. Cazz can be classed as an outsider but last time I checked she was not part of the Carlton Match Committee (Official or Unofficial).

I agree with most posters about AB!. He has the potential to be a a 10 year captain of Carlton type of player.

I enjoy watching him play because he is always hungry for the ball. He is just so enthusiastic and puts so much pressure on the opposition (look at him tackling rate per game).

However i dont like people stating that he will be the next Ratten because they are huge shoes to fill. We cant expect too much from him next year because he is only 20yo, he wont get his BOG every week. Give him time to develop and settle in a position.
My expectations on AB behalf is to see him play 22 games, and show improvements in his game. Remeber he will play his odd bad game, so dont bagg him when that bag game occurs!

I HAVE FAITH IN AB

How does a Fat Lance "joke" infiltrate a thread about AB. Leave this thread alone!

Lance infiltrates everything.. including the TAB and the Tuck Shop...
