Let me help with you with the the arithmetic - it takes 22 players to play a game not counting the sub - that is more than the 4-5 A graders ( when they are all fit and available). You know 22-6 = 16 other players ...
Why not add Weitering to the offer
Well done, that was my point
You may be right. I think there’s too big a gap between our top paid and our other 16 or so players as you’ve mentioned. It’s pretty difficult to bring in 3 or 4 players with 2nd round picks like so many other teams do here and there on a wage of 500k - 600k or so when we have Cripps, Walsh, Weitering, Charlie, Harry, TDK all on really big money as well as Williams.
O Hollands is learning how to play HBF
Austin and whoever backed that call where in lala land - less concerned about Owies but dumping Kennedy like that ...woweee just wowee..
Motlop is a real small forward, played there as a junior and has always played there at AFL level. The rest clearly aren't and I think it's a problem. Not a small, but you can add Kemp to the list.
This ties in with the above really, but 100% agree the forward craft isn't there, but I'd go even further. I don't think Charlie or Harry actually have great forward craft themselves. They have other elite attributes that come through, but when it comes to craft inside 50 I don't feel like either of them are particularly clever with how they move and play inside 50. Combined with the rest of the makeshift forwards there's just nothing there.
Unfortunately, this is a win-loss industry, and when you're up by 41 points only to lose, to the wooden spooners no less, that's absolutely worthy of criticism and pressure. Doubly so when the club outwardly expresses that the expectation is top 4. In a vacuum the Hawks loss would've been fine had we beat Richmond, but we didn't.
kennedy fits in nicely at the dogs but they have heaps of runners and good ball movement in general.
While I didn’t necessarily want Kennedy to go as he’s a solid AFL footballer, I think the logic was out another contested slow mid (which we have an oversupply of) and in Jagga as a quick and agile modern midfielder. The logic was sound but unfortunately it all went up in smoke on an innocuous knee knock in a practice game. Just very bad luck.
Every club has its role players... blah blah blah...
From a previous post I thought you were saying one thing but you are really saying another. Cohesion and balance aren't the issues, ability is.
Probably saved $700k in the cap but.
You've literally taken this almost word for word from Heath Bucks latest video lmao. Absolute rubbish.
Oh don't get me wrong - there are too many players in Carlton firsts that are really not that good - we need to be adjust expectations big time. Especially the idea that coaches need to make teh team into a running kicking modern football team- as if coaches can make players do stuff they are just not good enough to execute consistently.
