My Prediction
What do you say about the worst scoring and worst defending team in the AFL? Thank god it’s not us and thank god it is Carlton. Even better, things are looking like they may stay that way for a while as well.
They have brought the prodigal son home to handle their list movements and the first thing he has done is go and get a whole bunch of stuff that GWS no longer wanted. Clever enough to get a high pick in with it but mostly it looks like charity as they fill their list with filler.
They have lost three of their most skilful players with Judd, Yarran and Menzel all leaving. They have lost probably their best Key position player with Henderson leaving. It looks like they have cleaned out their list to start again and it is hard to remember a team who have done that and had success in the past. They have found a beauty in Cripps and held onto Kreuzer courtesy of no one else wanting to take a punt on his beat up body.
There is a frightening lack of top end talent in this team and they would have to be near unbackable for the wooden spoon again this year. They had a good draft for talls and will see the benefits of that in a few years’ time if they can keep the talent they do have for that long.
Wooden spoon by a mile and despite everything we Bombers fans have been through over the past three years, thank god that Carlton are still worse. Fark Carlton.
