Moved Thread Are we witnessing the start of a Carlton dynasty?

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Is it though? You had those players and had a 6 game losing streak.

Is there a chance that more role players and less highly talented players Is working better for you? Certainly working better for the incredible pressure the team is being able to put on around the ball.

Walsh, McKay, Cerra, Kennedy, McGovern, Silvagni were all in the side when our form started to turn.

The only major personnel change has been at HFF, with Cuningham, Martin and Fogarty regaining fitness and giving us options. None of the above are flankers.

Pittonet vs Silvagni will be interesting
I think we can only take in two of Dow, Hewett and Kennedy.

The rest will be great additions.

What concerns me about Carlton isn't the handful of star players, it's the bunch of no names with a lot of ticker who aren't great footy players.

Reminds me a bit of our side in 2017.

 

[Wosh]

I think we’ll just leave this here and let OP enjoy whatever he’s cooking. We may have to find an appropriate prefix for later

Good luck Carlton

8 wins in a row including multiple flavour of the month premirship favourites.

The age profile of Carlton's list is primed for premiership contention for the rest of this decade.

Elite key pillars on every line are signed up long-term. A midfield that matches any in the competition. The best key forward duo since Franklin & Roughead.

Significant list depth on display with repeat wins while missing 6 of the starting 18. Two coleman medallists. A brownlow medallist.

Not only is the premiership window open - the dynasty window is open.

As a Blues member back in the VFL days it would be great to see them back as a serious contender this Century.

All I can see in place is a non Victorian captain, the rest is idol (sic) speculation, for example

Eeek im bullish about Carlton but this thread is a bit much lol

 

[PerthBoy86]

My dynasty argument was very compelling. It's been good to see it valided by the BF community.

Perhaps you have been watching too much WCE and forgotten what talent looks like.

How bout we make a wager? If in 2030 they win 5 I'll give you 20k. If they don't, you do.

You don't win many bets, do you?

 

[YouBeauty]

Is that you parrot?

 

[jooce8891]

anyone that didnt vote 5+ is a troll

 

[PerthBoy86]

You don't win many bets, do you?

I'd win this one

 

[Ctracks]

Beat the queues, go now to get the 5-peat premiership tattoos!

 

[Toump Ass]

To the non-believers.. this side is currently missing

Adam Cerra
Sam Walsh
Harry McKay
Mitch McGovern
Jack Silvagni
Zac Williams
Matthew Kennedy

If your not convinced yet you will be soon enough.

Who do these guys replace from last night?

 

[kreuze_missile]

Who do these guys replace from last night?

Take your pick from Fisher, Marchbank, Dow, Hollands, Motlop, Cincotta, Cunningham, Ed Curnow, Pittonet and Fogarty.

 

[YeoShuey]

26 people voted 5 or more? Surely taking the piss.

Voted 5 or more for comedic effect. Surprised this thread is not in the bay yet.

 

[Wojcinski]

I don't think they'll ever lose again

 

[YeoShuey]

I don't think they'll ever lose again

The issue is the more games a team wins in a row, the more likely that the inevitable loss comes. Sort of like Port this season.

How many grand finals have I missed? Never touching tequila again, that's for sure.

There's a new team coming in 2028. Hard to predict what might happen that far ahead.

You have the rounds wrong. You are also missing Round 15.

 

[Thrawn]

I see a lot of Richmond too. Richmond won their last 9 in 2014 to make finals and lost the elimination final... Then the dynasty started 3 years later

The difference is there's now a pre-finals bye, which is huge for a team playing bash-n-crash footy.

 

[Chronz]

5 in a row is a lock from here.

Cerra's been playing great all year and one of the prime players responsible for the streak to take effect, set us up nicely vs Collingwood and was BOG until he did his hammy.

 

[Thrawn]

When was the last time Carlton finished higher than Geelong? I’m assuming 1995 but I thought we had some poor seasons during the early 2000’s too?

2001.
