The rest of the midfield, which it did for all of 2020? We do expect them to get better right? Cripps impact was poor this year and we still did well. 0 problem in getting the ball to F50, how it is delivered is the other problem. Hyperbole? Are there other highly talented tall forwards...

Depends how he goes in the 2's, club isn't going to throw him in the deep end after being out for so long. As for Weitering and Jones, my understanding is Marchbank's specialty is intercept marking so why would Jones and Weitering come into the equation? He'll definitely play some games, its...

Harry and his management will hold off on signing a big contract as long as they can to maximize $$$$ as they should. Why would he sign cheaper? He's under no obligation and you'd be signing him on big bucks for FUTURE potential like Curnow. Mckay 1000x more important than Cripps if we want...

He's valuable as a good tagger and a good midfielder who gets the job done, Ed's not a superstar and never will be. So why would he be tagged? You'd tag Cripps etc. Irreplaceable at this time, one of the kids wants to step up, by all means, can't see it at this time. Opposition coaches...

Haha bunch of kids pass Ed? Ed plays until he retires, irreplaceable at this time. Probably Murphy's last year, but you never know. Highly unlikely anyone would leave, could only see Kennedy going. Not expecting miracles from any player this year, the development of King, Harry...

Cautious? It's pick 37, hardly the end of the world if it turns out to be nothing. Hopefully he can fill that small gap in the future, especially with Betts presumably playing his last year, but we'll see. Dow and Lob certainly disappointing, but Dow played once in 2020 and LOB didn't play at...

Ball has no problem coming into F50 at the moment, we ranked quite highly near the end of the season, was 3rd best for inside 50's, but like 70% of them are all over the place and useless most of the time. Ball comes in to F50, goes straight to Casboult surrounded by 3 people and Mckay was by...

Exactly, give him 100 games and see where he's at, plenty of time left to see what's going to happen with him. Not a fan of him at the moment, but realistically plenty of time left to go and if we didn't pick LOB, not as if there was a plethora of superstars after him. Patience, patience...

Just need to kick the ball properly into F50 and we're all set.

Poor Weiterbot was robbed in 2020, I hope you're correct this year. On the wing, if midfield is chock full, those dinky kicks to Harry on the lead, yes please thanks. Haha I don't think any Carlton supporter forgets how good SPS was in midfield, Bulldogs game in particular in 2018 or 2019 if...

Break out, after playing a massive 5 games? Give it time, same with Dow, people expect far too much way too quickly. Both of them would need 100 games to REALLY see what they've got and I hope we put Stocker in the midfield where he belongs and don't do the usual Carlton shenanigans and put...

Williamson will always be defender, he's perfect for that role, 100%. He'll be a very good player one day, don't get nervous when the ball is in his hands coming out. SPS should be on a wing though, I agree 100%, beautiful kick. Perfect to fix the spaghetti F50 entries.

Haha read where? Facebook? The bastion of intelligence and good-will and decorum in modern society.

If we fix the spaghetti F50 entries, agreed. Disappointing I agree, but surely people would be expecting the 100 games benchmark. Paddy's only 21, pretty odd to throw him under the bus as he isn't outshining expectations yet. Not every player is going to be a Sam Walsh from the get go. I'd...

Should have played finals this year, even with Cripps down year, far too much complacency in games, had nothing to do with lifting. Hawthorn game prime example, couldn't believe that being there in person, completely mind boggling how we let that happen. SPS will likely be in the backline...

Very keen on Kemp, but unless he's superstar in the making, you'd expect the 100 games metric. I would expect to see him this year, 5-10 games really, anything else would be a bonus. Carlton campaigners such as myself need to temper their expectations towards him, he'll be good one day, but...

That was more to do with Bolton situation than Clarke's ability as a tagger, a skinny lanky kid that had played a couple of games isn't going to be able monster Paddy Cripps beast mode. Most of the time, would start off normal and if a particular player was picking us to pieces, Teague would...

Hope that's the case too, would also not like them to become complacent and slip away, pls Fix CFC. As big a crowd as possible thanks Vics.

Pick 5 too, what a steal, thanks SOS. Can certainly see Setterfield being elite when he gets to 100 games, AA too. Been building quite nicely this year. The problem with Cripps is, he's at his absolute A-game when he's right in the middle of the trenches, fighting toe to toe. He'd best...

Where does he even fit in? Cripps, Williams, Ed, King/Levi/Pitt, Walsh, Setterfield, Then you have Dow, Kemp, Stocker, OBrien, Salvagni, etc all waiting in the wings, Dow And OBrien especially. Occasionally Martin too, can't really see a spot for Cunningham. Think he'll be stuck forever in...

Would be absolutely baffling why Cripps would step down as captain, Walsh will have his time, just not anytime soon. Docherty shouldn't be 2nd captain anyway, still a very strange choice today, should be Cripps and Cripps alone. Just when CFC finally gets into the push for a flag, we'll...

Fisher is going to be permanent small and Samo will unfortunately be stuck in defense, as much as I'd like to see him in midfield or on a wing, Amos seemed quite adamant Samo had found his place. Dow is biggest tease on list aside from Marchbank, don't quite understand what's going on with...

I'd agree with that, you know the reason why it might seem like it wouldn't be? How many times did it get bombed in this year into the F50, absolutely hilarious amount of times, lots and lots of missed opportunities, have 0 problem getting the ball there a lot of the time, its what happens...

Martin is a better player than all of them aside from perhaps Fish and the point is they burst in midfield and then push forward and kick goals, which Martin is particularly good at and will only get better, especially when method into F50 is fixed. Don't need Martin's assistance in the...

We'll make finals, how far we get in finals is a different matter, would assume knocked out first or 2nd one, which is good enough for me, given our current pace. Only crucial piece would be Harry really, I couldn't see us making finals without him. Levi, Eddie, King, Fish etc can only do so...

Do need him to win a flag though, unless the smalls morph into Richmond 2017 style. Harry can only carry the team so far, hopefully Charlie gets back when he's good and ready, wish the injury god campaigners would give us a break though for at least one season.

Hawthorn game is a good example, Jack Martin marks it right on siren, Cripps calls for it, even though Jack Martin far better at straight shot, Cripps misses, crucial part of the game too. Another one in same game tries to take on like 5 people at once by himself and doesn't work, REALLY...

Cripps hasn't been the same since he drastically lost weight, not to mention the injuries. Oliver shouldn't be able to push you around in a contest. He's a contested beast, end of story. I'm not quite sure what him and CFC are going for, he can't kick a goal to save his life and now he gets...

Finals or bust 2021, top 4 2022 thanks CFC.

Are you ok mate? I can send you a Carlton Blues 2021 membership pack if makes you feel better As for my campaignerness, old man been a Carlton fan since 1970, I've recently gotten interested as of 2018, have been reading on here since then, decided to post today.
