Rich v Cartank 100 G @ the G / Jumper for next Carlton Game

[julzqld]

Must have gone overboard with the club celebrations earlier on.  Didn't like the choir they had.

. IMO he's got huge confidence issues at the moment and not having a settled position or task each week isn't helping either.

Can tell you MT, they dont know where to play him
He is in his fourth year and they still dont know

Which begs me to ask this point. Why recruit the kid make a big song and dance about it in the face of others when you have no idea what to do with thim and where to play him. Was drafted with the thinking because he was there rather than we'll play him here and get waht we need? Club must not keep making excuses for him and his heritage and where he came from. Must be trade bait at the end of the year while he has a $$$ value and age on his side. What he has dished up yesterday was disgusting and his best is merely an average game and his worst was yesterday considering the stakes and the Hawthorn game last year at the G in Round 15. Club has a big decision to make on him and make it soon.

i feel we will make the same mistake with Richi as we did with krackour, maybe meyer and even JON.

In his 4th year he has done nothing.

Most fans remember his eagles game and are still riding on that one.

He needs a new home and he needs one come season's end.

next 8 games will tell us more about Richard. Look he may come good but i think with him its all about confidence and i think the whole draft pick scenario still plays on his mind.

The big song and dance was for club promotional reasons on the back of a $2 million loss and wooden spoon. It obviously is not for any draftee's benefit. Hawk supporters have taken it as a go at them at the time but it was directed at our own to attract members. Even with Cotch we are making too much of a song and dance but like Lids he's arguably classy enough to back up our talk.

Blingers does need to step up. Makes the coach's choice of where to play him easy if he performs as he did earlier in the season. But since the Geelong game he is not (not even the fundamental things yesterday) and really should be playing against Box Hill next week for Coburg. He should have a few mates too who were soft/dumb yesterday.

Richard Tambling can try as hard as he can, he aint up too it.
When does trade week start ?
And where is Pettifer these days? didnt play today at Coburg today ??
Must of been a late withdrawl due to an ear infection as he was seen having talks with West Coast officals during the week, great team man is our Petts

[mightytiges]

Petts was injured (limping) apparently. He was at the Coburg game too.

It might be in his interests to talk to other clubs as his career at Punr Rd looks over.

Excellent. 

[Hellenic Tiger]

West Coast are punting on youth again and they have Armstrong and LeCras doing a Pettifer role there. So I doubt they would want Petts, maybe the Eagles were fishing around for Tambling.

2 for the price of 1. 1 draft pick that is!

[mightytiges]

The Eagles want Rich so their first pick is off the table. Their first possible trade pick will be their priority pick or 2nd rounder. Didn't we have this discussion last year and Eagles wisely kept all their picks plus the ones they gained from Carlton in exchange for Judd.
