Love to know what happened with his development (or lack there of)
Was massive talk of him at the time of the draft…recall many in this board having him pegged at our pick…..
Jack Martin clone, hopefully without the injuries
Still trying to get his body right
Not sure if he cracks in as much as Martin (not saying moir is soft FYI)
Reckon moir is more skilled though
Has a nice level of aggression, suspect we'll see more of it next year and beyond as he builds more strength

Miers is the exception to the rule though...like John Stockton who was always happy to pass on a bucket when an assist was on offer.
And he does have the luxury of the best small forward in the game in the opposite pocket.

On average, probably. Still going to have contact injuries and bad luck.Not with Innes
I'm pretty sure that we were promised Russell would get all the support he needed. And he was meant to get us fit and reduce soft tissue injuries.

I was thinking we need a darcy jones type player and we dont currently have one playing in seniors atm
so I started watching some of Wilsons highlights...and was super impressed with what I saw..
he looks to have everything we need atm and I'm not sure why he hasnt debuted yet?
quick, good decision maker, good kick, tackles, marks, good footwork/agility, foot candy etc
Maybe next season he is right to go...I hope so
Here is an example...

I just don't think the goals column is important at all. It's a result.
Goals will come if the processes are right. Fretting a 1 for 1 replacement in the goal column doesn't make sense to me at all.
Team game.

Yes very much on board with that.
I'm not concerned in the least with 'replacing' Owies goals should he leave...we found the 45 or so goals that Mots and Martin kicked last year without too much fretting.
Yeah nah. Durdin is an example of a player with good processes but lacking the 'predatory' nature close to goal. It's a skill set that not all possess. Owies has limitations but can finish.

I agree with this. Personally I think adding extra pace in our forward half would result with as many goals anyway.
In saying that Owies goal tally was as close to McKay’s as the next closest was to Owies. He does have a very good goal sense
I do like his skills and vision the only knock i would have from watching the reserves is he does have a tendency to fumble in congestion. Im sure he can work on that if we ask him to play more inside/up to the stoppage

Yes others have mentioned he is our mid with pace in waiting - I didn’t watch VFL so not sure how his season went but the hope is he will be ready for seniors soon enough

Just read that Zac Williams was rated the 8th best forward in the competition this season (based on the games he played as a forward) - with a pre season refining his forward skills he could be a real playmaker for us
And I’m still confident Motlop can step up - by February the talk was he had a great pre season and was going to be in the top 3 most improved - then injuries hit and wreaked havoc on his season
And Moir could be ready to play out games and could be a real point of difference too
So our forward line may well be a lot more dynamic and multi dimensional next season without even adding someone in the draft or through a trade
Plus if we add someone like Houston who was involved in the most scoring chains for Port (and more than anyone we have on our list) we could really have an even more powerful scoring set up than this season

Yeah fair enough. His goal scoring surely has some value though.
Williams' best forward attribute is his passing. Scintillating stuff some of the passes he pulled off.
I think the only concerns for him are injuries and age. Otherwise he'd be a gun forward.
Why Carlton enters the 2024 trade period and off-season in a precarious list management position
Will the pressure to improve force them into a blockbuster move?

Back injury upon drafting and I think an ankle this year keeping him out for long stints.
Brother out with an ACL, pretty sure Trent went down with the same.
I am a big fan of players that do the basics well and are clean with the ball. Watch his first half against Cats late in season
I have the same impression of Wilson as I did with Lord. They just have it. They don't fumble or look rushed and he is tough
Bonus is he is a beautiful long kick and quite quick.
Fingers crossed for a good pre season
I reckon they're playing Billy behind the ball right now where he can use his run and not get beaten up in the trenches.
Eventually, I'm hoping they have him earmarked as a midfielder as Austin alluded to on draft night. They gave him a run at times in the midfield during the VFL scratch match vs Richmond ealier this year, and you could see him get ragdolled in the stoppages by the bigger bodied opposition mids - even the VFL listed ones.
Give it a few preseasons and some time in the gym to let his body mature, and I can see another Chad Warner type emerging.

De Konings reunited? Why the Blues must pounce on this big Cat
If the Blues are to advance from pretenders to true premiership contenders, they must put all their resources towards luring Geelong defender Sam De Koning to Princes Park.
Finding myself agreeing with Kane far too much lately
Please Carlton, be aggressive and fill a desperate need!
