LeeToRainesToRoach said:Cripps, Dow, Walsh, Curnow look the goods and a few others have potential. If they're going to win a flag within five years, the bulk of the team needs to be on the list already, and they need to start climbing now. They're as likely to finish bottom four again as not, IMO.
Rookie coaches are very un-Carlton and if Bolton is sacked this year, for argument's sake, there aren't a lot of coaches available with rock-solid credentials. A coach poach would be on the cards.
craig said:A better coach and one or two more top line youngsters and the Blues will be back amongst in the not too distant future.
They've got a wealth of good young talls, they just need another ruck and one or two more good midfielders and maybe a quality Half back and they'll be up and running.
Perfect time for other clubs to start poaching Carlscum's key young players. Four, five, six years in the system n floggings every week. Their players will need a refresh n reset before their careers entirely disappear down the toilet. Must be a few teams sitting around the finals with potential to go very deep n just needing that extra young gun who's got a hundred games under the belt.craig said:They've got a wealth of good young talls, they just need another ruck and one or two more good midfielders and maybe a quality Half back and they'll be up and running.
. Didn't they trade 1st rounds with Adelaide next year?turk-d-tiger said:Carlton wont be getting flogged past this year
2019 - bottom 4
2020 9-14
2021 - finals
Carlton will be looking to bring in 2 free agents end of the year in the A class range , Kelly / Coniglio /Ruck will be the targets and or maybe a Ellis type for outside run
Will most likely trade their 1st pick also fo a 23-25 year old small foward
With another 2-3-4 quality players they will be alot better as well as most of their kids getting to 50+ games

The Big Richo said:I feel like the entire competition is underrating us.
I keep seeing 'expert' predictions having us 3rd or 4th or lower and not premiers. People forget how dominant we were last year.
I think we will dominate the competition this year again and this time not let it slip. And I think it will start with a 10 goal plus win on Thursday.

Love the enthusiasm but when was the last time we knocked off Carlton by 10 goals??turk-d-tiger said:Im really excited about this weeks game , Expecting a thrashing of 66+ points and top of the ladder with a good percentage boosting win
