Great game yesterday.Congrats Bloods.Great win.
Sydney 8.10....58 West Coast 7. 12....54
It was an armwrestle all day.Nail biting stuff.Not an inch given by either side all day.We were all on the edge of our seats until the final siren.
Hell ! 58 beats 54.Bloody low scoring game wasnt it.Roos and Worsfold would have given there left n_t to break the deadlock.
My point being ? Roos and Worsfold would have killed to have Whitnall and Fevola in there side.Key forwards are scarce as hen's teeth.
Roos had one and Worsfold had none.Game over !

The Carlton Football Club is very,very fortunate in that it has not one but two gifted key forwards.Even contemplating offloading either or both of these two is pure insanity in my book.Sure,they are problem children and are high maintenance.BAD LUCK ! There our boys and we are just going to have to deal with it the best we can.It aint a perfect world folks.Its not our talented players that are the problem with our side.Its that we have to many mediocre types coming through.A lot of you guys rave about Waite,Walker,Thornton etc. but they have a long way to go for mine.Sure,there coming along nicely,but they have plenty of work to do for mine.

Speaking of Barry Hall.Very,very good player and a fine focal point.But for mine,Lance is every bit as good.He actually plays a similar type of game.That is ,starts deep and pushes hard up the ground and thus creates space.Neither Hall or Whitnall take a heap of contested grabs.
OK Barry is more aggresive and intimidating than Lance.But i tell you folks,Lance is a superb CHF when on song.Reckon Denis needs to show more faith in Lance.Got get over that old school thinking.

And another point.........You eff off good players and they have a habit of biting you on the arse.
Barry Hall,Paul Williams,Darren Jolly,Nick Davis,Craig BoltonJason Ball.
What the hell were there previous match commitees thinking ?
Especially the Saints.Only a brain dead embecile would think they could gain something by trading on this goliath.

No folks.If you have a talent,you hold onto him no matter what.Build around em.

We would forever rue the day if we parted company with Lance and Brendan.

You dont know what youve got untill you havent got it any more.


Like your work Mick but dont agree..Lance isnt good enough to carry Halls bags....Hall is a better mark, better kick, quicker, more agressive and everything a power forward should be...you can add the magic word leadership to that as well. Lance isnt in the same class...you get your 500k -600k value out of Hall, you dont get it out of Lance.....no comparison at all.....put Hall up for trade and Lance up for trade and see what the market price would be...you couldnt get enough top ten picks to trade for Hall.....if we got one top ten pick for Lance we would be rushing to sign the paperwork....

His wage will make it harder for clubs to fit him into their salary cap, combined with his attitude and poor body language makes him less attractive to other clubs.I asked a Cats fan about whether he'd want Fevola in his side and this was also his opinion.

If clubs were to target Fevola they'd have to offload someone on big money who's possibly a key player, or have Carlton pay part of his money.McKernan anyone? :evil:

Sorry but you dont know what youre talking about.
Whats Fevs wage do you know????

Ge was offered much more to leave.....

Why is his body language going to put off the Eagles or the Saints???... he wouldnt have time to show off his poor body language the way the ball wizzes forwards....

Look its horses for courses...

Were shit , there fore Fev is a huge cannon with no ammunition.

Eagles have the wick to light but there is no gunpowder.

At the end of the day if Lance was seiously put up for offer EVERY man and his dog would be involved in a frenzy to get him...

Lance?????Well hopefully we can suck some poor bugger in to snag him... (Wish Elliot and Parkin were at another club today)

Josh Kennedy might (or might not) grow into that BIG STRONG presenting KPP we want... like a cross between Big Bad Barry and Earl./....

He isnt slow.. he presents and works hard.. will grow right out physically. Demands his space around him...nice kick from what i saw too...

Ryder is more your Adam Goodes type.

Clark your poor mans Angwin... (any super athletic tall is a poor mans Angwin)

Who will the Saints offload to fit him in? Gehrig? You'd think he'd have already announced his intentions if he was retiring.I hope it would take more than Goddard to satisfy Carlton's demands.

We are offering him up if the reports here and in the medyah are correct.Will hopefully be traded if the right offer is put on the table and we can get someone who isn't a flower.
