Good riddance, his sniping brother should *smile* off as well. Cowards the both of them.

well said ian.

I know he played over 150 games, nearly entirely with Freo, but can someone tell me if any one of those games was remarkable.

 

[Six Pack]

and saints.

Doesn't matter, 162 games is a amazing effort.

Yes it is.

Every team needs its toilers as well as its stars. Matt Carr is what we would call a true "Schlepper".

 

[Dyer'ere]

Shame about M. Carr. Hasn't been right for... four years now? One of those blokes who's been crockish for a while anyway. But who has got himself on the park for some good games.

Good skills when right. Excellent attitude on the park - two-way outside mid. Fine overhead if not particularly strong at ground level. Orthodox player with few tricks who deserved better luck. Genuinely 200 game class.

Top ten at his club when right, Phanto, so a good class schlepper.

 

[Spirit of Jack]

Let's trade this years 2nd rounder for him. Go get him Miller.

I prefer the term Billy Battler.

How many has Tiva played now?

Very ordinary player M Carr.
His brother is ok though, despite being a scumbag.

 

[josey]

Josh Carr might indeed be a scumbag but he would be a perfect addition to our midfield.

An uncompromising inside mid who would fit in very well with Foley, Delidio, Tambling and Cotchin.

Yep this stuff is quite true

Carr was a handy player at his peak but appears the right decision his retirement.Good on him for pulling the pin & not trying to take the extra dollars & playing on.
