It's a reasonable and cheap bandaid in this case Synners, your biggest problem (IMO) is that you keep heaping what we do each year draft/trade time and point at the aggrigate result and exercising hind sight on draft picks.
Hardly a fair place to take potshots from. The Saddington trade was a sound one and we haven't lost out yet just because he doesn't dive into a pack (where he would probably be snapped in half anyway).
I was against Saddington from the moment i heard about that.... !!!
Same with McLaren....
Did he really offer more today against the worst ruck combo in the league than French would have???
The problem with French is the way Denis asks him to play....
Same as every other player on our list....
If you really analyse things youd realise... denis has every player on our list just about playing in a fashion that Denis would dream for them to play.. not what they really ARE!!!...
Betts is a midfielder now...
Simmo is a back pocket.
McGrath is a defender.
Saddington KP.
Walker a tagger.
Scotland is a hbflanker... (not sure why we took him .. he was a midfielder)
Carazzo... not sure but in a game where we need the ball.. and he can find the ball.. hes a tagger...
Houla is the sweeper along with Lappiun but theyre forwards...
Stevens isnt an attacking footballer hes behind the ball...
Lance is a CHB...
Fev is a FF but he must run with the defender.. so the opposition coach says to the FB.. run to the centre.. and Fev now has to run out of the 50 meter arc...
Digby had to put on 10 kilos and then take it back off...(CHF)
Russell is a tagger .... but he used to be a flanker/wingman with run out...
We will probably turn Kennedy into a ruckmen. (we need one)
Murph will be a tagger....
It goes on and on....
People are good at some things... and thats how they should be played!!!
Firstly can I say that supporting Carlton in the last 4 years has been painful..95% pain 5% joy or happiness.
I am tired of those odds... and have recently taken more interest in seeing games involving Chris Judd than watching Carlton.
Can I ask you if you are saying that any of the above positions are preferred positions - what do you think are the preferred positions for these players:
I think seeing Marc Murphy in attack more often would be good - instead of resting him on the bench so often. He has no fear when shooting for goal and there are a lack of crumbers in the forward line.
