News Welcome to Carlton Chris Davies General Manager of Football
Listening to recent interviews w Davies, Wright & Voss they are definitely all on the same page and have a clear path forward IMO that’s a massive positive -
Preview 2026 Opening Round - Carlton v Sydney Thursday March 5th 7:30pm @ SCG
I would love Saad to get back to his best and hope he does But I reckon this has been coming for a while. I thought last year it might have been injury but even after an injury free pre season he has struggled. We don't see that run anymore and his ball use is poor. I'm not judging him on 1-2... -

I reckon Saad is really struggling. Has all pre season, even in match sims. Become more a lockdown player and that doesn't help us Williams looked a bit better when moving up ground on weekend but needs to improve. I would play Williams as he can easily fill many roles. -

I agree. It just needs from the point of view of development. If a young player is pushing for a spot and needs experience we should pick them I also believe we need to make "ball use" more of a selection criteria than it is -
List Mgmt. 2026 List Management
If I go by what I was told when he arrived and pre season he is seen as very much a modern day midfielder who can go forward. Bit of Bont type. I thought they may start him at HB but he was in middle at weekend. I reckon he had 15-20 possessions but what he did with it was special. He has... -

Preview 2026 Opening Round - Carlton v Sydney Thursday March 5th 7:30pm @ SCG
Are we starting to look at a side moving past names like Acres, Newman, Saad, Haynes etc? I am really hoping that Cowan Carroll Charleson Wilson Dean HOF and more move past them by end of the year. With Cripps Weitering Hewett McKay Florent Hayward we have more than enough experience and... -

Game Day AAMI Community Series - Carlton v Geelong Game Day
It's very disappointing especially with direction club is heading Newman has been a heck of a player but we need to go past him. He's 33 and not quick. With Weitering Derksen Dean/Young as our talls we need run from defence. Even Saad has slowed down as well We really need Florent, Boyd... -
Game Day AAMI Community Series - Carlton v Geelong Game Day
Yep. There were lots of moves in last qtr and they were defenitely trying a few 'scenarios". That's what these games are for -
Game Day AAMI Community Series - Carlton v Geelong Game Day
Same. I am just hoping now we are at a point that we are picking players more on form or lack of it. I want players, regardless of talent or history, having to play well to keep or earn their spots. That is what builds good sides -
Rookie 47. Wade Derksen
I think Derksen is more mobile and can play both ends. Phillips is more purely a Weitering back up. I'm just glad we picked up another tall. If Motlop hadn't gone down I have no idea what we would have done. That's my take- Words: 44
