so Andrew Walker is a gun. So damned athletic … and that’s all i have to say on the matter.
the blues take on the gold coast this weekend … we must win … and then we must win against the saints the following weekend … and win we shall.
Carn’ the Blues – we play Richmond Tigers this Round!!!
Other pics in the series can be found here.
Sam Rowe in on the Blues’ list, he’s a mature aged rookie, this was to be his first year. Most Carlton fans were looking forward to an exciting prospect up forward for the Blues – a key position player that we so badly need. But when Sam got diagnosed with testicular cancer I reckon that put life into a stark contrast. I watched Sam’s interview on the tv during the second game against Collingwood (where we beat them yet again) when they were raising awareness for the Peter MacAllum institute for cancer research – he’s a brave bloke.
Life can throw you some curly ones – So I drew this in his honour.
I think that the strapping is also to help contain his monstrous desire for another premiership … maybe he’ll let the strapping come undone in the finals series and let the world feel his wrath!!! This week he has played 100 games for Carlton!! After having played 132 games for the West Coast Eagles, where he had a great career – being captain of their team, being a premiership captain, Norm Smith medallist, Brownlow medallist etc. At Carlton so far – he’s the captain … has been best and fairest three times (in a row), has a Brownlow medal … premiership cup here Juddy comes!
The Blues play the Hawks this week – they’ve got a Franklin-on-fire to contend with … but nothing that Jamison can’t deal with at fullback.
And here’s a pic I did in the finals series of 2011 … I imagine we’ll hear this phrase quite a bit come Brownlow Medal night. I was quite fond of this sketchy drawing … it was nice and raw.
So – there’s been a few setbacks so far this year on our road to the Premiership cup … but of course – that all serves to make the success all the sweeter … this Friday we’ll be doing away with the reigning premiers – the Geelong CATS.
Actually – I should ‘fess up – I did a few drawings recently of about three players … who all then got injured … I’m starting to feel this project of mine has some strange voodoo curse on it … let’s see if Garlett kicks 5 sneaky goals this week – then I am thankfully wrong about this idea: GO JEFFY!!!!
This little quick-dude is from WA … apparently he used to live in a car before being drafted by the Blues … and now he’s a superstar!! so … damn … quick!
Ratts has been our coach since the days of Dennis Pagan … and he’s just passed evens on his win-loss ratio … and it looks like he’ll starting to give the Blue-baggers something to be cheering about. 255 games played, 100 games coached – well done indeed to Brett Ratten.

And check back every week of the season for another of the mighty navy Blues!!!
