I think the whole Judd carrying Carlton has been put to bed. Murphy was fantastic this year.
I just don't see who we can get as a big forward...As much as I hate him, Hawkins?
I don't see why we didn't bring in Hampson for this game by the way.
I don't know about that. You definitely are slowly becoming less dependent on him the more your gun midfielders grow but if Judd had a good finals series you guys would have made the Prelim. If you want to be top 4 material Judd is going to be a big part of that and you need to make some key inclusions down back and one tall up forward. Tall duo's up forward are a working formula in football today. Podsy - Hawkins, Buddy - Roughhead, Dawes - Cloke, Big Q Lynch! - Kennedy. All top 4 sides have a key duo up front.
The more and more I watch real football over the past few years, the more I think AFL is an average sport. Definitely a lot less skill compared to football. I don't really get 1/10 as passionate watching Essendon compared to Juventus or Azzuri games.
Well go stick a salami up your arse you try hard Italian faggot. I've never seen anyone so in love with their ethnicity. You can't even speak Italian you fucking idiot.
Carlton don't really need to go all out for a big forward. You need one more class midfielder and you will run over the top of anyone. Trade Gibbs for someone that can ball it in the engine room.
Carlton have plenty of classy midfielders. They have arguably the best midfield in the competition next to Collingwood now that Geelong are beginning to age a bit. They need a key forward and at least one key back. Even Brett Ratten acknowledged that they lack height and that they will be recruiting key players this summer.
