Unofficial Preview Death Ride ‘25! A Carltank campaign

[Leather Poisoning]

Carlton were probably the only team in the trade period to move on two very average players and somehow be worse as a list.

 

[Noel Gallagher]

It will come down to how quickly their new fitness coach can get the squad fit and as injury free as possible. Our old mate Russell seemed to really lose the plot in his final years. Still have question marks over Voss as head coach as well. Very interesting watch for next year

Goals lost with departures

Owies 23 Kennedy 24 carrol 15 =62

Hawthorns ‘form of tanking’ departures goals lost
Gunston 32 omeara 21 McEvoy 6 Mitchell 5 = 64

For 2025 not so much death riding carlton as not worrying that our draft order drops if more cuccessful

 

[MazHawk]

If either Cripps or Weitering go down they're in all sorts. I have no idea why they let Kennedy go, at least he could provide relief in the centre and would go forward to kick goals.

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

I am so happy with this with my slightly autistic mind. No more thinking after a loss "oh well our draft pick will be better". I also have a 2nd game to keep a real eye on. And please keep it. 2017 was horriblewhen we sucked and had no draft pick to look forward to.

Death riding carlol is status quo for me as I've been doing that all my life!

They need their 1+ goal per week from Owies + Kenned far more than we missed our .25 goals from BigBoy or Mitchell.

Remember that we were 2nd last(ish) & had nowhere to fall.

They're 8th - dropping 12 points per week probs sees them dropping 2-4 games, which sees them sitting 12th-14th; that's before you include the loss of Jack Martin (whatever he's worth?).

It's ALL about the Death Ride - we could clean up here.

We may not even have these picks come draft night if we trade them to move up higher in the draft.

Doesn’t help when crazy vossy was playing people after Russell said no, I imagine he checked out quickly after a couple of times

They'll be banking on a having Curnow, Cerra, Walsh and Weitering available a lot more this season, and if those four play full and effective seasons it'll be much more than a 12 point per game gain for them.

But hope is not a strategy. And if you can't absorb injuries in this league you'll death spiral.

Here’s to Crazy Vossy never changing!

Curnow and Weitering played 21 games this season and Walsh 19
They did not miss that many.Also Cripps played all 24 games

You could argue they realistically could miss more next season.
As for Cerra he has had longterm hamstring issues which will probably linger into the future

 

[kirbatron]

impossible team to place.

best they can win it worst is probably 14th.

He should get crazier!

Sleeping on tdk a bit. Its no coincidence their form went to shit when he got hurt.
