That is a very fair question underlining what I think is one of the lack of depth issues that needs to be addressed end '23. Once he went down last year the whole midfield game plan had to change to manage the fact that TDK wasn't ever meant to be the #1 ruck he is nowhere near as competent a tap ruckman as Pittonet ( who has other issues anyway) I suspect that a genuine gun ruck may be on the shopping list end '23. The other issue is finding some HFF who can actually kick a goal.

There's a 212 cm bloke been playing in the Vfl who's coming good, he will test Grundy no stop Rob, Grundy's gone and who's left lol.
Yeah, Pies didn't have Grundy for most of 2022 either, lucky we had three other options to call on.
Depth and versatility. That's why Collingwood contend more often than they don't.

DeKoning with another pre season will be hard to match up on.

You have about 12 players with some level of AFL experience that weren't in your predicted 22 by SEN:
--> Mason Cox, Will Hoskin-Elliot, Nathan Kreuger, Billy Frampton, Trent Bianco, Tom Wilson, Will Kelly, Trey Ruscoe, Reef McInnes, Aiden Begg, Josh Carmichael, Mark Keane
Carlton, conversely had 15:
--> Paddy Dow, Lochie O'Brien, Lachlan Fogarty, Jack Carroll, Brodie Kemp, Lachie Plowman, Marc Pittonet, David Cunningham, Sam Philp, Ed Curnow, Josh Honey, Jordan Boyd, Matt Owies, Matt Cottrell, Sam Durdin
Why is your depth considered so special but ours is apparently non-existent...?

Speaking for myself, I am not worried or fixated about whether we finish higher than Collingwood or not, just want us to be a bit more consistent, blood more kids and hopefully luck with injuries make the 8.
I think an more fit and healthy Cerra next season will more than make up for the absence of Walsh for the first part of next season..

We have done the versatility comparison before between the two teams and there isn't a significant difference.

You are not alone. Just a bit of banter. In my ladder predictions I even have the Pies one spot above us. Hope I am wrong of course but we have to prove to everyone that we are the better team - until then I can't in good conscience predict us to finish higher. This is despite me thinking we have the better team on paper, just think to truly rise up the ladder we need to get a lot more consistent with our pressure/effort across 4 quarters. Pies and Swans won a lot of games off that alone - very important, especially in finals footy.
And agree with your last point. Cerra's Round 23 performance was exceptional. Seemed to play his best footy in 22' when getting more time on the ball which should happen for the first part of the season. Really excited about what he can bring and hopefully Walsh is back before too long

Agree Elmer.
The Carlton Football Club will not be content until we win the premiership.
We have not and will not be satisfied with simply finishing above a fellow participant.

It will turn eventually like it has and will for all sides. That is the way the league has been set up.
One thing we know for sure is that Carlton will find this success ethically. No racism/degradation of women etc.

Even the saints will have success eventually and it will be all the more sweeter when it does.
I have a 60 year old neighbor , He may not be alive
At our best i feel that we can compete with and beat anyone imo. If we click anything can happen. We showed last year that we could compete with both Melbourne and Collingwood, even though we were missing half the team to injuries.
It all depends on if we have better luck with injuries, and if the players have learned how to close a game out when in a winning position. The only team in the top four last year that beat us convincingly was Geelong.
We beat the Sydney Swans, and we should have beaten both Melbourne and Collingwood at the end there, but of course we didn't.
