Banter threads are not to be taken too seriously. Have fun. Let others have fun.
Which as I've been saying for years, is one of the key reasons as to why this Carlton team are unlikely to contend for a premiership.I will wait until we have a season that wasn't ravaged by injuries before judging this Carlton team.
When you retain so many injury prone players on your list - Cunningham, Marchbank, Martin, etc. - you have a standard run with injuries from the remainder of your list and you hit the wall...

Carlton used to be a proud, strong and successful club. Never been the same since Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination.

So Carlton will be successful once they get a season where they don't get any injuries. I think this is part of the problem. Successful clubs win despite injuries. Brisbane has had 5 ACLs on the list since about rd 3 and had to play Eric Hipwood as our only tall KPD a few weeks ago because the other 5 tall KPDs were all out (mostly with longterm injuries). But our boys have heart and we don't constantly bring up injuries to define our season.
The problem with Carlton is lack of heart. Crippa and Walsh are the only two with any heart. And poor Walshy ain't got much else in his trick bag.

You cannot possibly have read that post and got to this conclusion.

Your boys have heart and Carlton don't? A silly point in fairness and it's not as if that Lions team have the premiership medals to prove it either.
The reality is that outside of our core star players our list lacks strength in depth imo. As was devastatingly illustrated against the Hawks, there's not enough pace in the team either.

But that has been plain for about 4 seasons now and Carlton hasn't done anything to rectify it. You have about 5 A-grade players and then the rest of the 23 are most teams bottom 6 players. I think its why Carlton's structures collapse so easily.

That's got nothing to do with my post and I'm still waiting for an answer from my earlier question.
