I still don't think anyone catches Heeney but if Crippa has another 2-3 BOGs before the end of the year I think he'll give it a bloody good shake

Jordan Lewis is on "on the coach". Starts off by complimenting us in a round about way. States how good our list, how many highly ranked players we gave etc.
Then frames it as 'will Carlton be deemed as a failure if they don't win a flag in the next few years".
Betting agencies (plural), ESPN and afls Brownlow predictor all have cripps either 1 point behind, even with or a point or two in front of Heeney already.I still don't think anyone catches Heeney but if Crippa has another 2-3 BOGs before the end of the year I think he'll give it a bloody good shake
I don't trust them a lot, they had Cripps on 20-25 votes in his Brownlow year when most reasonable Carlton supporters thought he'd be in the high 20s-early 30s. Credit where its due they did predict Neale's last year despite him being nowhere near the best player for the year.Betting agencies (plural), ESPN and afls Brownlow predictor all have cripps either 1 point behind, even with or a point or two in front of Heeney already.

I've got Heeney clear by a bit still but Cripps and Daicos closing fast.
Daicos 6 clear of Heeney in the Age award. Cripps equal 5th 17 votes behind. The media carried on a bit with the Heeney by how far early in the season. I personally doubted whether it was true or not. Great player that he is, historically he's never been a player to put together a strong consistent season.I don't trust them a lot, they had Cripps on 20-25 votes in his Brownlow year when most reasonable Carlton supporters thought he'd be in the high 20s-early 30s.

With the team we have and the individual brilliance of the players we have … Yes… simply yes … i look around the competition and in my opinion there is no one that can go with us if we’re on song no one … its a failure if we don’t win at least 1 premiership in the next 3 years with this team …
Two Coleman medalists including the best forward of this generation, the best stopper in the AFL, Cripps Walsh TDK Cerra plus an unreal supporting cast….
The rest of the competition is cottoning on to what we’ve known for the past few years that when it finally clicks there’s no stopping us … it’s clicked and it’s time to win a premiership or two anything less will be seen as a waste …
We’re playing for pink slips now people! get used to the pressure of expectation

The team hadn’t played finals in how long? Let alone had the experience of winning one.Agree wholeheartedly with that, I reckon we let one slip last year.

I don’t see us as having missed one last year - after the first qtr in the prelim we had no legs & were dealt with.
We needed last year obviously to bring belief for this year.
This year and the next few the chalice sit within our reach - last year I don’t believe it was.
Noting & respecting your opinion, I disagree as you can tell.My point when I say that is I believe, and it’s my opinion, we should have played finals with the list we had even prior to 2022 when we definitely should have played finals.
We had underachieved, unquestionably.
In relation to last year, when you get the momentum we had across the back half of the season and the wave of support from over the fence after the start we had to last season that’s an intangible that rarely happens but when it does often takes you all the way. Like the dogs in 2016 or Hawks in 2008 or dare I say it the scum in 1993.
Would we have pinched it last year if we had of gone all the way, absolutely. No one would have stopped us on GF day, we just made it too hard for ourselves having to play a prelim against a battle hardened team on their own deck.

I think the quest for a flag last year was amazing but we had sprinted to the line from so far out it left us with no wriggle room.
I think if we were privy to inside information a lot of the team were banged up and running on fumes.
It was an extraordinary effort possibly record breaking from 15th to 3rd but realistically a bridge too far.
This year with a consistent home and away performance is what I would consider our first proper attempt. 2022 we actually were still learning how to be a winning team let alone a hardened finals side.
I don’t think it was.I think the point is that the list was good enough.
List definitely good enough.. unfortunately it took half a season to convince them they were. When they learned they were...well you saw the restI think the point is that the list was good enough.
That's a remarkable about face from your pre-season proclamation of "I don't trust us and I believe that we'll be in crisis by round 6 this season".My point when I say that is I believe, and it’s my opinion, we should have played finals with the list we had even prior to 2022 when we definitely should have played finals.

Seriously ...win the flag or it's a waste?I didn’t listen to the Jordan Lewis comments. But I think there are plenty on here who will think we are a failure if we don’t win a flag this year (though I will make the usual proviso about an assumption of a relatively standard run with injuries).
In terms of the wider group of AFL commentators, I think they will write us off as failures if we don’t make the grand final. I think some will let us get away with having a break even season if we lose the big dance to a side with plenty of Grand Final experience - e.g. Collingwood or Sydney. Though they would have us as underachieving if we fell to Freo or the club who shall not be named (and I am personally happy to take to the streets with pitchforks if we lose to the latter).
All I am saying is that I don’t think there is anything particularly controversial about the Jordan Lewis comments.
