Melbourne won a flag with less. They had two elite key defenders sure, but no elite key forwards.
You need a better class of runner and now pace as the Dees model has been superseded. The Dees did have a class small forward, a lightning quick winger and some burst from stoppage. Their Sparrow/Rivers/Chandler role players are better than our role players too.
With Cody as he turns 18 in January of his draft year, do we have an ability to get him to play with our VFL team for 2026? He's going to have to play seniors somewhere and surely if he commits early enough to be drafted by us we should be able to bring him into our umbrella to begin his preparation. Can't believe they made the rule 18 in the year of the draft, should follow high school rules... you'd have naturally completed year 12 on the year of your draft (if you finished school without re-doing a year).
Further to my post above (post #5,014):-

Note Sam Walsh is 5th worst kick..(Kennedy is 1st for worst kick inside 50)
Which sort of highlights the point I was trying to make earlier...
It shows its more of a game plan issue rather than the ability of the player..
We as a team long bomb into f50 so it makes sense that two of our mids are in the top 5 for worst kicks into f50.
just picking up on this data..It's not spin.

Our clearance game peaked imo with Dow, Kennedy and Cripps last season.
Cripps is king but Walsh is awful kicking inside 50 too and Hewett lacks hurt factor. Cerra we ran into the ground and now we are acting like Kennedy isn't good enough. In a final where we conceded the first 10 goals our MC thought Kennedy was worth subbing out over Fantasia, Williams, Durdin, Motlop, Cerra, Docherty.....
I dislike our name over structure approach to team selection. Kennedy's perception amongst the fanbase would be a lot better if he actually played mid more often. Carlton has a lot of 3-8 disposal per game c graders who get their preferred role more often than Kennedy did and it was a joke how we ran Cerra into the ground instead. It seems like we learnt nothing from how even Dow in 23 still offered more than Hewett did with a broken hand....

Plenty of times this year both Walsh and Kennedy were streaming forward and kicked it to our forwards disadvantage. These were play not long bomb situations.
Crippa was bad last year but really turned it around this season (even on his left)

Haynes to nominate Carlton
Our forward line had a KPF who barely contested (Curnow) and the worst small forwards in the game. Durdin alone often took up our KPF's space to lead into and often contested them in the air too.
Sam Walsh and Kennedy are average kicks that our structure and coaching made rancid.

yeah, i agree on walsh...can recall lots where his kicks being wayward
not so much kennedy...i just dont recall him having wayward kicks...more that he bombs it long
We are also terrible at halving contests in the forward line and making average/bad kicks look good.
Best kept secret?

The thing is Kennedy is a good kick of the ball, but once CD put out that stat and you were looking for it it really stood out he wasn't kicking it to where the forwards needed it to go.
Hack kicks forward have been a known issue for Walsh since his draft year - One of his noted "needs to work on" things in draft reports was impact per disposal, in particular kicks.
His kicking this year was worse than ever, to the point where he was even missing 20m passes to wide open team-mates.
I'm not sure highlighting Walsh helps much.

So far:
Delisted - Martin, Cuningham, Marchbank
Asked to look elsewhere - Owies, Young, Kennedy
So currently only 2 real changes to our best 23. Need a few more imo. Am hoping our 23 has at least 4 new names to start 2025

Nick Haynes is a good footballer.
My guess that this is meant to be a playing coach situation.

I don't know much about him either but he turns 33 in May next year.
If Walsh manages to have a preseason for once I think it'll be less of an issue.
Attitude wise he does himself no favours by demanding the ball when he is in positions where prime Judd and Ablett would struggle to get a good kick off.

Yeah I'm with you. Really only feels like we're scratching the surface at present.

Hadn't seen it posted in the rumour thread yet, hence did - now somehow it's list management, though it's not reported by GWS that he is to nominate us, only that he is not playing for them next year?
Hard to get excited about recruiting a guy who turns 33 next year , 3rd tall defender (which we don't really need) and hasn't played particularly good footy for 3 years. We will probably be offering him a 2 year contract. Now if it was 2019 I would have been keen.

Lol we were literally rated #1 for bringing the ball to ground inside our forward 50 before Curnow and McKay got injured.
We were also #1 for scores per inside 50 up until round 20.
