Leaves out
Banno Anderson Edwards Hartlett Setanta Hadley Army who could possibly get a game.

[blue gunslinger]

Count on this
David Ellard will play all 22 plus finals, go for the Coleman, boot 100 and win the Nicholls next year. Mark my word

Ok sorry mate

 

[thylacine60]

All good.

[serenityNow]

Hadley + Fully Fit + Full Pre-Season = Carltons best 22

 

[Revenge I Seek]

Hadley + Fully Fit + Full Pre-Season = Carltons best 22

No love for Cloke?

Personally not his biggest fan DIG. Would love for him to prove me wrong though.

Foll:WARNOCK Judd Stevens
I: Grigg Wiggins Fisher Hampson
E: Houlihan Hadley Austin
------------------------------
Backline still looks a bit weak, would like to trade for someone there. Cloke is also weak, think Kruezer will fill that spot soon but think we need to trade for a good CHF.
Easier said then done!

Also need to stock up with a few more second tier younger players that are better then brad fisher and co

 

[blue gunslinger]

Lots of weights lots of running lots of skill sessions

4 ruckmen in the one side? Surely not.

Thornton Jameson Browne
Bower Waite Grigg
Simpson Murphy Scotland
Stevens Kreuzer Walker
Betts Fevola Cloke
Warnock Judd Gibbs

Carrazzo Russell Fisher Houlihan

em Hadley Wiggins Austin

I think Armfield might be traded. Hampson needs to spend more time at the bullants.

 

[Blue Dimension]

I think Armfield might be traded

huh? he won't be going anywhere! Is already a cult figure and has given us something we've really lacked for a long time - a defensive minded, speedy player to play on the opposition pocket rockets.

 

[carltonblue]

cloke and kruezer arent ruckmen imo..especially cloke

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

cloke and kruezer arent ruckmen imo..especially cloke

Yeah Kreuzer is not a ruckman...

come on... this is a text book richmond comment....

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

Not in starting positions but the starting 22 will be provided they are all 100% fit and ready to go

Waite
Jamison
Bower
Grigg
Anderson
Thornton
Stevens
Judd
Gibbs
Murphy
Simpson
Walker
Fevola
Kreuzer
Carrazzo
Hadley
Cloke
Warnock
Armfield
Houlihan
Scotland
Betts

By round 5 pick 6 will be playing... Cloke would have either cemented his spot at CHF or in the 2's with Hammo running around in the 1's, Browne will be pushing for selection for Anderson's spot.

Gibbs will be the Brownlow favourite by that time

You guys must have a serious lack of faith in your own development. Don't be so worried about trading for another KP foward or KP back like you guys keep saying but rather just look to develope some.

Don't be precious, but realistically you won't challenge for a premiership for another 2 or 3 years. In this time rather then trading for a 25 y.o KP foward/back who will be 28 by the time your chance might come around, you should be giving gametime to blokes like Austin, Hartlett and Edwards. This way these players will only be 24/25 when your window opens meaning that they will be able to give you alot more service and a sustained period of success. What's the worst that can happen? If in 2 or 3 years you still haven't found that player but the rest of your side looks capable or winning a premiership then you should be looking to trade for a ready made KP player

My two cents.

 

[HBF]

Here's mine:

Backs: Armfield Jamison Carrazzo
H-Backs: Bower Waite Grigg
Centres: Scotland Judd Simpson
H-Forwards: Houlihan Cloke Gibbs
Forwards: Kreuzer Fevola Betts
Rucks: Warnock Stevens Murphy
I/C: Walker Wiggins Thornton Hadley
Emer: Fisher O'Hailpin Bentick

Your two cents are worth SFA ...
We have given game time to Austin and Hartlett and Edwards this year, poor Hartlett's just had a shocking run with injuries, but Austin and Edwards aren't good enough yet to warrant a place in the 22 week in week out ...
BTW How is Richmond's window going ? it's not been open for nearly 30 years now

Mmm, looks like minimum spend is 5 cents.

Some of you guys have become so defensive of your club you can't even take constructive criticism. At no point did I bag Carlton or reject to weak cliches, all I did was point out what I thought was seemingly obvious. There is no point in trading for a 25-28 y.o KPP when your not yet ready to challenge for a premiership

And if you want to have a stoush over Richmond VS Carlton go to the polls board and resort to the great level of maturity there
