Carlton's list isnt that bad. the players just werent playing for malthouse. they have improved under Barker , just look at the stats
Not good enough:
Carrazzo, Wood, Warnock, Walker, Watson, Dick, Jones, Rowe, Tutt, Armfield, Whiley, Curnow, Casboult, Ellard, White
Perpetually injured players:
Thomas, Giles
Unknown youth:
Boekhorst, Jaksch, Viojo-Rainbow, Holman, Smith, Foster, Walsh, Fields, Johnson, Byrne, Sheehan
Best 22 youth:
Graham, Docherty, Menzel, Cripps, Bell, Buckley
Decent senior players (underperforming or not):
Murphy, Gibbs, Kreuzer, Henderson, Yarran, Simpson, Everitt, Jamison, Tuohy
When you consider Henderson and Yarran are significantly underperforming and may be out of here, Simpson is in the last part of his career, Jamison and Kreuzer could be in the perpetually injured category and Everitt and Tuohy are ok but not stars...yeah, our list has a lot of work.
It could change a bit if the unknowns become 'best 22' and guys like Tutt, Curnow, Whiley and White can make themselves good enough to be part of a top 8 team. But that's a couple of seasons away.
