We all have differing views, FWIW these are mine:

Carrazzo - kicking needs improvement as does his pace. Average footballer given a go at the Blues.
Bentick - kicking needs improvement as does his pace. Average footballer given a go at the Blues.

There is a commonality here.

How many times did you see him play?

He played against Carltons VFL side at OO one day and took us apart. Played centre and must have had it 40 times. Dominated the clearances and hardball gets.
We played several AFL listed players and no one could stop him.

Obviously not many other teams could either if he won the B&F.

Jordan Doering would do the same thing it means very little.

Definitely not blue skies ahead but it's not as overcast as we might think.

When it comes to VFL games during the past 10 years I probably have
seen a lot more than most. Back then our reserves side was not very strong and we were getting players from suburban leagues to help make up the numbers.

I had a bit to do with the Bullants back then so I saw plenty of him. I remember clearly Brett Zorzi giving him a hiding on several occasions but then again Brett Zorzi gave a lot of AFL listed players a hiding when the Bullants were a stand alone club.

Mark Williams the coach of the Bullants knew how to stop him and that was to follow him and give no space. The Carlton VFL side probably had Sam Cranage playing against Carazzo so it hardly was a good match up.

Maybe that is the problem with Carlton recruiters in the past, they have only focused on players who play good against Carlton, e.g. Carrazo & Bryan for example. Possibly more research should be done instead of taking easy options.

Geez DIAMOTISM you've reeled off some names there. No i agree re Carrazzo. You'd think that for all the disappointment he went thru - not getting drafted, Geelong giving him a go via their reserves then being dropped off their list that he would work damn hard at improving his bloody kicking.

Yes Synbad, I've seen Blighty miss everything after the siren to cost North a game (in the wet though) and I've seen him kick one from 80 (or was it 90) to win a games. Fact is Carazzo is a very unreliable set kick for goal. He is not the worst kick in our side but he is the last guy I would want having a set shot. When he can play like Blighty I may be more forgiving, but inside the Dome there are no excuses. He has great hands and is a good ordinary footballer, but regardless of what other players might miss shots he needs to drastically improve his kicking for goal. He's not the only one, but he is he still needs to get a lot better at it.

Ok sorry didnt realise you spent the whole of 2003 checking out the Cats in the VFL./

But gerry... youre making it out like Carazzo will always miss that goal... and that it has nothing to do with confidence.

People always look at the obvious... i wanna know why were missing goals we should be able to kick...????

Thats why nothing ever gets fixed.. cos people look at the obvious...

Scratch the surface fellas..

Accurate kicking has been a problem for a while......Jarrod Waite is no cert to kick straight as is Brad Fisher but I wouldnt be discarding them....
Steven Kernahan was ordinary at times as well.
I dont want Carazzo kicking for goal on a regular basis anyway..thats what we pay our forwards to do...I view Carazzo's role as giving it off to the players who are goalkickers...if we had a few more Carazzos in terms of endeavour we probably would win a few more games....

Blind faith.

I have put a couple of quid on an upset.

the doggies make Oompa loompa's look tall and you never know Pagan might give bryan a chance and he might save his skin and be potent.

The doggies would have trouble covering: bryan, deluca, French and Mclaren.
