Carlton's new game plan should be to attack the man - forget about the ball. The game against St Kilda was a debacle - and the Blues were nothing more than witches hats to run around - as per the last time we played the AFL's love child. Well, instead of just watching them pass the ball around - this week i want to see commando style tackles. Let's forget about the scoreboard- let's only consider the tackle count. The player with the highest tackle count at the end of the match gets... i don't know ... a packet of steak knives (or in Camporeale's case an extra $30,000 in his contract...god knows he needs the money). I want to see at least three shirtfronts on the weekend. I can handle losing - but i want to see carnage on the other side at the same time. We can lose but we are going to take a few victims with us. The shirtfront iniator will be .................Chris Bryan or Luke Livingston. Let the physical battle begin. Am I worried about suspensions for legal shirtfronts? nup. We are bottom of the ladder at this stage - so my only aim is to cause some damage to the opposition. |

Sounds good to me. At least it'll be entertaining. |

So does Stevo get the steak knives for having the most tackles last week (7)? |

two points.... 1) We just have not been physical all year...would love to see it! 2) Fremantle would hate it and Sh!t themselves Don't attack the man...just let them know that they shoul;dn't get in your way Bring it on please.... Ins for this week...anyone prepared to crash bodies (...please insert here...) Outs...anyone who is not...(I'm affraid that could be around 12 players) |

Love to see a more physical approach, but who have we got to scare anyone? We are the least intimidating team I have ever seen. The only guys with anything like physical presence are Bowyer and Teague, and they are strong but aren't tall or nasty. I think even Freeo would laugh if we tried to get physical, laugh and run away from us, bouncing the ball. |

Gerry atric - I understand where you are coming from. Let's give Teague the freedom to take out a few - his physicality is a strength - let's use it- he should start with that little rat that kicks lots of goals...forgotten his name. I think Livingston should throw his weight around - so to Bryan and French if he is back. I want to see at least 3 shirtfronts on the weekend and plenty of strong tackles. if they do that - i don't care about the score... i will walk away happy. |

To quote the timeless Marcellus Wallace: "Lets get Mediaeval on their ass" I'm not sure if you guys have seen the hoax BBC e-mail of about 2 months ago, but might this be a good occasion to throw in some midget wrestlers and a lion. It might not help the development of the young players but I am damn sure that the TV ratings would break new records. |

When Scotland was in wrestlemania a few weeks ago, not one blue dude went to drag the focker off him. makes you wonder. |

I think the consensus is that people want Pagan before the game to open up a can of whoop-ass |

Waite could be good for a bit of physicality Wasn't he suspend at least once early on for charging??? He's fast and should be given the lisence to go for the body and put to good use the big body that he has - Waite has a mean streak someone or something just has to set him off Other than him and those already mentioned there is not much there |

One thing I thougth about on the weekend was I don't care if Waite gets suspended for 4 weeks I want to see a Carlton player physically assault an opposition player and hurt him. Just to show we're not a total pushover. |

Just to show we're not a total pushover. Maybe we could get Dermie in to tell the boys all about "drawing a line in the sand".....

I want to see some one fix up that p#@$k Grover who got Fev rubbed out and caused Fish's knee injury. Oh Farmer and Medhurst too for good measure. Just realised I don't really like Freo. |

Waite missed a lot of tackles on Sunday, although he nailed some rippers particularly the one on the near side wing - absolutely perfect tackle. He needs to learn to stop over-committing and corral and move in a bit slower after forcing the opponent to slow down and dispose hurriedly or try to take him on. |

Bit like trying to build a house with tools from the $2 shop..we dont have the right equipment to get the job done properly....last time we played Freo they bullied us...turkeys like Medhurst and Farmer initimidated our players ..can you believe it?...it was embarrassing...Freo are as soft as butter and we let them walk all over us with the physical stuff... Need more than a can of whoop-ass..our blokes couldnt handle a can of whoop-ass..probably drop it ...more like a visit to the Austin and Epworth to pick up a few spines and hearts....a witches hat would be too physical for some of our blokes... |

You reminded me of who that player was - i forgot his name - Medhurst. That is the one - he should be the number one target. It can be done above board - practise how to line him up during the week - he must have a blind spot with all that dodging he does - put Waite in the backline and between him and Teague someone can fix him up.... perfectly above board. The shirtfront isn't illegal. |

I don't care who does it, and I don't care how it's done but I want somebody to beat the absolute stuffing out of that tossbag Medhurst. Win, lose or draw I'd leave that game with a smile on my face. It would also prove to me that there is someone in our team that has some balls. |
