Carlton H&A Discussion

[Mat0369]

Don't be corrupted by those dipshowers Vin. I just figured out recently the mods go through the Carlton boards and clean out any opinions that don't match their agenda in certain threads.

As I said, I wouldn't have minded the Boekhorst pick so much if he was a 2nd rounder or we got Leverde/Lamb/Goddard or even McKenzie late. He does fit a need but the fact is it will be a lot easier to get a pacy mid over the next few years then great KPP prospects.


I think the reason that McKenzie would have dropped is because he is still very raw as a footballer. He did play footy growing up but he went to play basketball and only went back to footy this year. He is probably a lot like Hampson in his development but with better hands and a better football nous from what I have read. He is also probably a similar player to Levi which might cause issues, but considering we have Kreuz and 2 spuds backing him up in the ruck another guy that can pinch hit in the ruck would have been very handy.

My dad just said Carlton may have kept one of their picks because they are going to draft Andrew McInnes again, I think he said he was listening to SEN so they are about as reliable as the spaz's on Big Footy

Haha this was more draft profiles and highlights people have posted man. Majority of people are making lame jokes and making showerty nicknames.

I don't know, as Ric and others said. Boekhorst wasn't going to be around after Pick 20 and Carlton were really keen on him. He suits all our needs with his pace, good disposal and he reads it well. Rainbow is pretty decent too, would have much preferred Lamb though.

Like you I'm just gutted we didn't get McKenzie. But all that doesn't explain why a guy touted to go Top 30 was left until the last 5 picks of the draft. Very interesting! The fact that he went to Richmond is probably the worst part.

Hahaha wow at re-drafting McInnes.

I didn't see the point in delisting him in the first place but they must have realised they have F'ed up somewhere along the way if they are going to draft him again

clubs do it all the time not that big a deal

[Vinny]

They're just moving him from the senior to the rookie list but still wow.

Actually, we have 2 picks in the pre-season draft, so maybe not. He will be back on the senior list

Still, I don't know why they delisted him in the first place

[Diesels Pups]

Much preferred if they had taken a punt on McKenzie rather than redrafting McInnes. Gotta be in it to win it and McKenzie  may turn out to be a good'un @ pick 71. :o
As for not gettin Laverde. Bomber's are having a giggle about that one. pfffffft

Apparently Boekhurst's nickname at the club is "Tweet" lol

Not ideal calling for your coach and teammates heads haha. Mick seemed to take it in good spirits though
I guess that's why a lot of players in the mix for the draft sort of seperate themselves from barracking and concentrate on themselves. You never know where you will end up

If I was a Carlton supporter I would've said the same thing. Its never easy to watch through an entire gutless performance.

What amuses me more is that someone has gone through a random draftee's twitter page back dated 7 months ago for the sole purpose of creating a meaningless story.

Not if you knew there was a chance you could be playing for them in a few months time though haha.

But yeah, it's a non story. Just funny though. I bet he was nervous what Micks reaction would be haha
