Rate Them Less Now
« on: October 13, 2009, 12:28:49 AM »
So Fev has left the Blue building now, destined for the Lions to apparenty form some sort of super forward line from out of space that no back line will conquer.

My question is do we really think the Blues have much of a chance with him gone?? I have never really rated Carlton and the way they play (because it was all Fev based IMO). I think they have been very lucky to be where they were this year. I think a lot of teams underperformed and that gave them an easy ride to the finals. Port, Hawthawn, Richmond, North and Even the Eagles could really have gone better than they did.

With Fev gone.... who was responsible for 5-8 goals a game do we really rate them next year?

I don't and if they make it into the 8 I will be surprised, what are the thoughts of everyone??

true about hawthorn they had unlucky run with injurys. they'll be back in 8 next year i highly reacon so one of the teams this year will drop out but then we'll have to wait and see how the bombers go they might not finish top 8 next year and carlton could push for there position. maybe carltons mid's can step up and kick more goals and create fast play like geelong a lil bit.
but i agree i think they will go backwards for the short term with out big FEV in the forward line.

Who really cares

It's Carlton

I certainly don't

It's relevant because we hate their guts and more than likely play them in the first round next year. After crushing my six year old sons dreams in the first round last year I like to hear any theory as to why we will grind them into the dirt in 2010!

My only fear now is that they will become less predictable with Kruezer, Cloke etc stepping up in his stead. I still think they will struggle because, despite his lack of grey matter, Fev is a star.

They will be hoping Murphy and Gibbs continue to step up and Judd doesn't have a injury prone year otherwise they will be in a world of pain.

Without Fev they are definitely a weaker team.

No Fevola and with Chris Judd suspended...I would be very disappointed if we couldn't knock them off in rd 1.

Might be as good as it gets in 2010.

A thread talking entitled "How do we beat the Blues round 1 next year" would have been fine.

This thread makes WAT sound like a closet Carlton supporter.  :o  ;)

They might look at playing Warnock down there. In 21 career games he has kicked 4 goals so he's a definite chance :rollin

LOL, God no, no way man, call the tread what you want and most of you get it except the..... :whistle. I still don't know if Ball and Kruz could rotate all game at FF and have as much impact as Fev. Maybe Warnock as suggested but they will lose a lot of fire power IMO.

Well Richmond are part of the AFL aren' they and they will at some stage play the Blues won't they, more than likely round one and we do have to think how better off we will be playing them without Fev won't we??????????

Perhaps you should move yourself to that board.. :whistle

He has to get onto the park first to add to that goal tally. :rollin
