Carlton where do they sit??

I rate Carlton highly. consider them an outside premiership chance. Their midfield and running and linking up is dynamite! However their depth is something I don't know much about, so an injury to judd or an Ohalpin could derail them. But i would not want to be playing them in a finals game. Any team that wins 2 straight in Adelaide going away deserves serious consideration. If they maintain their current form I would expect them to replace Freo in the top 4.

Walker, Bower, Mclean, Austin, Henderson, Robinson, Hampson, Warnock didn't play today. 3 or 4 of those are definite best 22, the others around the mark.
 
They'll finish 5th I reckon, 4th if Freo taper off a bit which I suspect they will. Big year, lots of travel and a young team, Freo will have to tire, leaving a spot in the 4 open.

bower and walker are the only definite starters out of that list imo

i think we should persist with henderson though coz hes still young and shows some promise. the rest are just fringe players based on current form and the one player

then again i am biased, havn't liked mclean from the start
 
be afraid very afraid!

I would love a team like the blues in top 4...sure will make september alot easier!

btw pies/cats>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

lol when you guys win 2 premierships then you can talk

atm you're just playing really good footy and are deserving of your spot

Judd and o'halipan in the same category. wow that is something i did not expect to see.
I'm not saying that's a bad thing ... hell no. but still before this year would never even dream it

Mclean's a definite starter.
And out of the rest they may all be fringe players but they all definitely have shown much potential and are also all under 21 or 22.

I think Carlton are playing some good football and coming up for the big matches. Shown they can mix it with the best and wouldn't be suprised if they were doing in finals time. Should finish 4th, possible 3rd.
 
Hate to say it but 4th is nearly a lock-in for Carlton IMO. They are playing brilliant football, have very close to the best midfield in the competition, an illusive forward line and a great mix of tall and small in their backline.
St. Kilda are stuffed without Riewoldt (Will finish 5th - 8th), Carltons best is better than Freo and Sydneys best, and Brisbane are gone. Although I had them to finish 11th I had this feeling before the season they would finish top 4.

Doesn't that kinda void your sig?
Or was your sig meant to be truthful? :confused:
 
Well, considering I had Carlton 11th-14th going into the season, I'd have to say I now expect them to finish 5th-8th, which ain't half not bad.
