Congrats to Tristan on the back of good form for the Burgers :clapping
He's got 3 games to prove himself.
-
Good luck mate :thumbsup
Hope he's one of those players that come good after a change of scenery and oppurtunity.
-
Thoughts on Cartledge's first game in Yellow and Black?
-
Thoguht he struggled with the tempo of the game early on, which is to expected
But he did kick a vital goal in the 3rd :clapping :clapping
-
He makes Patto look like Darren Jarman.
-
Struggled but maybe worth a another go after all its been a long time since he's played AFL.
Probably prefer we gave Gus Graham a go next week though.
-
Patto seems more mobile around the ground/at ground level but I was fairly satisfied with his competitiveness in ruck hitouts. He seems to be a fair bit bigger in the body than when he was at Essendon and should be given a couple of games to assess if he is worth keeping. Cheap insurance while Graham and Putt develop.
-
Thought he did not make much of an impression around the ground. Carteledge got his hands on the ball in a few marking contests but could not drag in the mark. Skills are not his strong point although he kicked a very important goal in the third quarter. I think Patto does more around the ground and is more skilled than Carteledge.

Cartledge's cunning plan

YOU HAVE to love it when a plan comes together.
Tristan Cartledge was taken in the 2002 draft by Essendon, but injuries and a lack of opportunities conspired against the young tall, and just seven games was the result.
Cartledge was delisted the Bombers at the end of the 2006 season, and after doing a pre-season with Hawthorn headed back to where he grew up to play with North Ballarat.
The idea was to go to uni, play against AFL-listed players, look impressive in doing so, and thus get back onto and AFL list.
It worked, with Richmond rookie listing him for the 2008 season, and last weekend the big man played his first game for the yellow and black.
It was the pay off for the year at Bendigo and a year of hard work and good form at Coburg.
"I knew I could get rookied, and then I was back in the system, and then there could be an opportunity to get back onto the senior list," he said.
"It's a terrific system, the rookie list, especially for the slightly older blokes who had injuries or were slightly later developers.
"I've been happy with the way I've been going at Coburg; it's been a really good year.
"Jade Rawlings has been really good for me, and he's been really happy with me throughout the year.
"I've just tried to enjoy my football with Jade and the Richmond and Coburg guys there, they've been fantastic."
The 23-year-old said Richmond coach Terry Wallace told him that he had been rookie-listed with a definite view to being elevated onto the senior list.
"I'd spoken to Terry a few times about it during the year, and he'd indicated to me that if there was injury he'd like to put me on the senior list, and that's come about, so that's been good for me."
Cartledge came into the Richmond team last weekend for their terrific win over second-placed Hawthorn, and Cartledge kicked his first goal in the AFL in more than three years.
"I was pretty nervous – straight in front, but I guess they're the ones you get nervous for, the easier ones," he said with a laugh.
"It was a good feeling, but I was a bit worried about what was going to happen if I missed it, but the boys were great, they got around me and they were very supportive.
"It really felt like we dominated that game – we led from start to finish and we never really felt that we could lose it, the way we were playing.
"I reckon the mood has been fantastic for most of the year, and the boys really want to finish off on a high note.
"We have to rely on other teams in relation to the finals, so we're just going about trying to win the last couple of games and finish 2008 on a good note."
