Who's closer to their next premiership: Carlton or Freo?

[Coaster2012]

Freo easily.

Carlton will do well to just maintain their position over the next 2 years. probably 7 of their best 10 players will be gone either end of this year or next, means they will need guys like Fisher, SPP, Setterfield etc to step up into key roles and guys who have hardly played, Dow, Philp, Stocker etc will need to step up into the roles the second stringers were playing.

Freo have already moved their younger guys this year into key roles, Brayshaw, Cerra, Taberner, Ryan and Serong played pivitol roles, they are much further along the developement path, this should be pretty clear when you look at the average age and games experience of the 2 teams, Carlton putting out one of the oldest teams each week and Freo one of the youngest.

Cripps, Walsh, Curnow, Weitering, Mcgovern are leaving this year or next?

What a ridiculous statement.

Give the rises seemingly out of nowhere in the last decade I don't know how anybody thinks they can tell.

U and your incessant bloody reasonableness

One of these is not like the others.

Sub Gov for Harry, and add Docherty, Martin, Setterfield and now Williams.

Our list is in decent shape despite what Bigfooty will tell you, and we won’t have any Mundy or Walters sized holes within the next 3 seasons.

 

[BoundbyKreuze]

Freo pretty easily. Their list looks better: both their youth and mid aged players. They're only behind Carlton in key forwards but I can see it clicking with Hogan, Lobb and Tabs. I think Carlton will peak at semi finalists a la the early 2010s.

And key defenders.

This thread is going to be a treat next year.

Just pointing out it wouldn’t be Fremantle’s “next” premiership, they need to win their first before their next.

Oh boy, it's started early...

I know for a fact you will feature heavily good friend

 

[Piggy Smalls]

And key defenders.

Key defenders? Freo conceded less points Carlton this year with ALL of their first choice key defenders missing all or most of the season.

Pearce, Hamling, Logue, Ryan, Cox. We can’t even fit them all in the same team!

 

[GroggSquad]

Carlton have to finish top 8 next year. Absolutely have to.

No more excuses surelyyyy.

 

[Purple_Turtle]

Neither Freo or Carlton are going to see a 2021 where they don't feature in September as successful.

 

[Juddernaut08]

I wish it were true. I just made it up

If he did want to come home I reckon we’d be keen though

Gee you reckon Freo would be keen for Cripps to join?

Really going out on a limb there.

 

[Juddernaut08]

Dont really care for freo tbh. If they win it next year and we the next...fine with me!

 

[katmanblue]

Carlton.

They have the umpires on their side.

You sure about that?

Freo has a much better midfield.
But our kpps are sorted back and front.
Freos backs are really solid the front half is not as star packed. Tabs this year was really good. If jesse hogan recaptures his form then freo have us covered easily. Will depend on what we can add this year to our list.
Not much in it. I guess freo are expecting to play finals next year and if we don’t we have failed in the rebuild.

They also have a fair home ground advantage.

Except in the grand final.

Except jones and Weitering won more one on ones than all of them combined. It’s not even a debate how much better they are than those 5 you named. The problem at Carlton is def through the middle and game plan which is why the opposition get more opportunities against the defence 1 on 1.

Spoils aren’t winning 1 on 1 ‘s

That is a terrible indictment on your midfield. Thanks for sharing

 

[tonygeeks]

Yep , not losing 1v1’s very good job

It’s still not winning them

On paper Freos list is amazing.

If they can get on a roll they could be dangerous.

 

[Paracleet]

You can tell its Freo from the length and number of essays from Carlton posters in here trying convince themselves it's not.
