Analysis 2017 List Management Discussion - Part 3

[Soapy V]

BIG call.

True but not without basis.

 

[CJMB]

Wow, not having a great time Moody?
We will draft at least one mid gun, possibly two and have traded in two. We get a fit E Curnow and Cripps back, Gibbs is a loss but so what, we got the picks we wanted, thats a win overall!
Lobbe was picked up to cover a Kruezer breakdown, Phillips is still on our list... its not that half empty.
I think our backline is looking very good and the only obvious gap is where we find our goals. We all know we are closing in on an all-time record of consecutive < 100 point games.
Why not be positive and say McKay becomes a proper target, SOJ continues to improve, C Curnow does what we all expect and our small forwards camp under Big Levi to give us a few. Who's small that I think will kick goals? Fisher, SPS, Pickett, Cunningham, Wright... even Thomas.
Where I agree with you is that we are 6-8 (ready made) players short of better sides and injuries and fatigue will likely see us slip up in the back half of the season BUT I'm at peace with that and am really looking forward to watching these kids turn into men. Fun times ahead, albeit with some pain mixed in...

I've said this before but if we look at our rd23 2017 team and compare it with a possible rd1 2018 there's a decent amount of improvement of the team as a whole. Yes, losing Gibbs hurts but I think it's drastically outweighed by the sum of the INs (and of course the players most of them are replacing).

Gibbs, Boekhorst, Armfield, Smedts, Graham, Kerridge, Thomas and Lamb out for Cripps, Kennedy, Ed, Lang, Cuningham, Marchbank, Plowman and Silvagni. There's also the possibility of any of McKay, Macreadie, Polson, Mullett, 3, 10, 30, etc forcing their way into the team.

Backline is set. Will be great. Incredible talent and importantly will develop together like Geelong did

Midfield is young and developing. Lots of upside. Murphy & Curnow are the old heads. Cripps is elite but has lots more growth, SPS Charlie Pickett are elite in the making. Kennedy is ready to really step up and will be very good in the Callum Ward type. Lang is handy and there is real hope in Cuningham Fisher & Polson. We will then add more midfield talent with Picks 3 & 10. Maybe even 30.

Next year we will add some more and mostly probably a ready made elite player. We have some good picks already

Better midfield will help forward line. McKay will be ready to step up when the midfield does. Silvagni as well. Kerr has potential.

Seriously how much do people expect 2 years into a rebuild? Looks as good as could be hoped IMO

...and LeBois

(in the potential group atm).

 

[bmaurizio]

Pickett has huge X factor, like SPS does not need to accumulate 30 touches to influence a game our way.
What we need, is to help him develop endurance and application or consistency.
In full flight he's unstoppable.

 

[Soapy V]

(in the potential group atm).

Goes without saying.

 

[Jimmae]

Pickett can't be elite in the making
He doesn't have a tank and is unlikely to ever develop one
He's a burst player

Don't agree: 14.4 beep at combine, but he dropped his standard and smashed his foot at GWS.

Seems to be clawing that back.

I have said it for a while but its the list at the start of 2019 I'm looking forward to seeing.

It's effectively what we have now (which is exciting enough) but with another 12-15 additions of which 8-10 will be genuine young talent, a couple of more than handy players plus 1-3 genuine guns from other sides.

I know Pickett is talented, but some of the predictions on here are very optimistic! What game(s) from this year do I need to re-watch to try and get aboard the hype train?

Hawthorn game was pretty good.

Probably his most consistent performance and had a sizeable impact on the overall result.

Yep he didn't look like much of an improvement on Clem Smith until those last few games. Looks like he's starting to find his way.

Exactly right. He got some continuity in the last few games and showed a glimpse of what he can be.

The last few games even though he got low numbers he would do one or two things that showed he can be a long term player for our club. Would’ve been a great spring board into pre-season so hopefully he can start to increase his impact on games and even start to get some midfield minutes in 2018.

Harry will need at least 2 years to develop. He has been injured so he has missed a lot of footy and he needs games under his belt.. It's called being a realist, Leave it there and dream on.

Hence why we held on to Casboult.

watch his highlight reel - young bloke is everywhere..........

Crameri is not the answer.

Chillax Moody!

Crameri isn't the answer for anyone.

I knew there had to be a reason

 

[LanceRomance]

Shiel isn;t available

Just because there is a goal keeper doesn't mean you can't score

A full preseason will do wonders for him. He hasn't played much footy at all between the time he was drafted and the time he came to Carlton.

Well, if Crameri isn't the answer, I hate to think what the question isn't...

Hawthorn game was very impressive.

That's somehow creepy Crippa.



This came to mind. Look into the back-ground of this ad. Maybe don't.,

I had no idea his endurance was so good as a junior, 14.4 is bordering on elite for an underage player.

Goes to show he is certainly capable of being predominantly a mid in future, which is a good thing as I don’t think he is really a natural forward.

Porque no los dos?

Excuse the spelling and lack of Mexican girl graphic

 

[StandByyourMan]

I think it's really important we don't get ahead of ourselves. If we get Rayner and Fogerty we will play finals next year, and it will be game on.

Hawks game. Its enough to get a ten tripper.
