As I posted, his results last year were poor.
Do you think their list was good enough to win 6 games in 2017 and 7 in 2016? He got more out of that list than anyone could have predicted.
They won 4 in 2015 which is about right with the list they had.
Brisbane and Freo are better than Carlton. But neither team are good enough to back themselves in Melbourne. They’d win one or two here, but the bulk of their wins will be at home.
I think Carlton will get closer to their 2016 and 2017 results than their 2018 result.
He’s been there 3 seasons and had 15 wins and the 3rd season was comfortably the worst. That’s a really bad sign.
At some point it becomes at least partially the fault of the coach, not just the recruiters.
If the majority of their youngsters continue to show very little this season then that point has well and truly arrived.
Hopefully then is when they lock him in to a 3 year contract in the hope that some job security improves his performance
I guess McKay gives Kreuzer a chip out in ruck.
Lobbe is handy backup as Kreuzer injury prone.
3 tall forwards good but no small??
They will probably rob petrevski seton from midfield and send him forward.
LeBois could be a option up forward too.
Bugg could fill a role, docherty is a big out again.
My bench is basically guys they want to get games into, Walsh, setterfield, Kennedy, Stocker.
On potential and talent best 22 is ok
But turnover, youth, lack of cohesion means they should struggle again also depth outside 22 is lacking imo.
Prediction: Bottom 4
Rising Star Nominee: Sam Walsh (Rd 1)
Fark Carlton
Fair enough, I haven’t seen much of Carlton this year to be honest. So don’t really know o’brien
And Lang just added in as a forward, he will probably get delisted at year s end given their recent history.
Possibly maybe see others too.
Just hoping did t select any delisted players
15 wins in 3 years is more than I expected as a result with that list.
I thought they’d win 2 or 3 in 2016 (only because they played us twice that year).
I thought 2 at best in 2017.
And around 3 to 4 at best in 2018.
I’m not sure what more can be asked of him. As I posted, 2018 was below expectations, bit 16 and 17 were well above expectations. He picked up a team with a lot of list cloggers and rubbish. They still have list cloggers and rubbish on their list. If he wanted better results in 2018, I’m sure he would have held on to Gibbs.
It’s going to be a long rebuild with no quick fixes.
Must beat these ■■■■■ and I’m not talking about a 2-3 goal win a proper belting. our team is way more talented than theirs should be a 50-60 point win.
Felt so embrassed walking out the MCG knowing we just lost to them.
