Same things were being said about Richmond under Hardwick, remember when they shat the bed in finals in 2013/2014/2015 before the arse fell out of the joint in 2016?
Richmond had five good players - Deledio, Cotchin, Riewoldt, Rance and Martin.
Carlton have five good players - Curnow, McKay, Weitering, Walsh and Cripps.
The competition isn't any stronger now than it was back then either, because having 18 teams has diluted the talent pool - and it's only going to get worse with Tasmania coming.
My point is this Carlton side is filled with role players after their top five - very similar to the Richmond sides under Hardwick, and could pinch a flag if they finish top 4 and play non Vic sides at the MCG.
Don’t bother, he will continue to bend over backwards to try and discredit Carlton.
Meanwhile, when asked to give examples or back up his statements with anything other than the vibe…crickets.
Rinse, repeat. It’s pretty boring.
