Averaged 96 in 2012, 99.7 in 2011, not averaged below 86.3 in 7 years and average 104 in 2006. Why is no one picking him????

Adamant

In January last year, he got into a pub brawl to which he has pleaded guilty for an associated assault. Scotland has yet received a penalty from Carlton for this misdemeanor but it is probable that his punishment will involve a 2 or 3 game suspension at the start of the home and away season.

He turns 33 this year and will probably retire at season’s end. Picking older players comes with the common risks…higher probability for soft tissue injuries, scheduled rest periods etc. Mick doesn't like him as well.

I still reckon he'll average 90+, but definitely a much better upgrade target.

Thanks, forgot about that punch up incident.  I''ll leave him alone for now

It's been said they don't like each other before in the media, but apparantly it's rubbish.

Of course he's going to say that in the media haha. It's not like he would come out and say "Mick is a dickhead"

Not if he wants go play any games he won't haha. Yeah definitely an upgrade target this year rather than a starter due to his age and possible suspension early.

l'm pretty surprised they havent come out and said what his punishment will be yet, maybe they're hoping the league has forgotten :P

.....but realistically its much better if they impose their own sanctions, because its likely if they dont that the league will come down harder and give him more time that Carlton would have

*having said that......he's a definite upgrade target for me and will almost certainly be in my final team he's defensive Gold
