Do Carlton need to undertake a list rebuild?

[carlton_99]

The funniest part is they've actually been lurking on the Blues board and quoting me from my comments on there

Rent free.

Desperate yes. Surprising no.

Carlton should try to get Schoenmakers into the deal with TDK a player with good footskills who is in and out of the side at St Kilda because they have plenty of those types. Cheap and could make a difference.

Carlton will never match 1.7 million a year so no trade will happen.

So he will go for nothing? or it is a compensation pick?

If not they should try to go after someone like that. Another option could be Charlie Edwards from Adelaide.

It will be a band 1 compensation pick. So the pick after wherever Carlton's first lands

How can they sell another rebuild? They’ve rebuilt more than Jennings Family Homes.

Rebuild basically means 4 years of being awful. They’ll not justify that.

Better than the alternative surely (keep sputtering along tweaking a piece here and a piece there).

Have to bite the bullet (not that I have any confidence they will lol)

 

[Faz 2000]

Can we do an extensive renovation rather than a rebuild?

Big changes needed for sure, but not all the way back to foundations.

It’s probably locked in if silvagni and McKay leave.

Where's McKay going?

And Curnow.

And De Koning.

Why would it matter? You've assured us they're all rubbish. Unless you're once again going to change your tune the second they look like walking out...

Well they're 3 of your best 6 players that you need firing on all cylinders to be any chance of contending for a flag...

As I've said many times.

Your list clearly regresses if you lose one or more of them. It will be the second consecutive year your list has regressed, after an inglorious 0 and 60 humiliation in an Elimination Final.

Blues are bottom 4 bound, and isn't it GLORIOUS!

Keep dreaming about it Fadge. Your predictions haven't come close for quite a number of years now, I see no reason why that would change in 2026.

Didn't you have Carlton top 4 this year?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Didn't you have us bottom 2?

Bottom 4, and it's not far off

While you're still spouting the same rubbish every Blues fan wants a rebuild except Walshy

Just the ones that want to see Carlton contending for premierships some day

Apologies I must have missed the vote when we elected you spokesperson

It couldn't be more obvious, have a look around, Blues fans are generally upset and dissatisfied

'every Blues fan'

Totally...

 

[Corn Cobbers]

LOL.

'Definite top 4, and would be disappointed if we miss top 2 with our soft draw...'

Just a couple of tweaks short of top 4

Thoughts? Did not know who to put for ruckman, and put Cripps more as a forward

Yes, I can picture a 35 year old Cripps as an elite, pacy ball using half forward flanker...
