This is certainly an "upon reflection" question. But somewhere in the questions is a philosophical component. We had the #1 Choice of the AFL draft, and there truly was an abundance of choice . Amongst them Sam Walsh, the King brothers, Rankine, Lukosius, Bailey Smith. Arguably all could have...

I thought it might be worthwhile separating all the coach interviews into one thread. Personally I find the media thread just turns into another discussion thread where finding the actual media hard. Hopefully we can restrict this thread to- post match interviews, radio interviews with...

Well it looks as though the die is cast for our trading this year , and given our #6 pick is gone, it is doubtful that we will draft a young midfielder that will contend to be picked in our midfield rotation. I dont think many would argue that our best 4 midfielders next year will be- 1 Cripps...

Welcome back to one of the most courageous players top play for Carlton. Lets hope his courage and aggression gets passed on

Where are we headed? Are we finals bound? Do we have the talent to make a finals appearance? I think it could be useful to compare our list now to our last "SUCCESSFUL" team under Ratten. Obviously the other 17 teams have changed and the game itself definitely has. But nevertheless it could be...

We now have established or emerging stars all over the ground. So does that mean we have no weaknesses? No. But where are our strengths and weaknesses. Defence: My take - With the return of Docherty, and the continued development of Weitering and Jones, we have 3 potential AA defenders right...

With such heated debate among our members , it would be enlightened to see where the actual views are spread about our CEO.

2020. The year the blues began their resurgence in earnest. The year that SOS finally put the finishing touches onto the list he had been building for 4 years. The year that another tough former Blues player took the reigns as coach and hustled them into the finals. The year that the outside...

Nuff said. Continue on .

Ok, we have a dozen players that seem on paper to be quite capable of running through our midfield in 2019. But in this game, you have to eliminate AT LEAST 4 and reduce it to 8 or less. If you only want to nominate 6 players for the midfield then only select 6 names. Only select the players...

Well with the trade period done and dusted, and with it has gone a lot of our draft picks, leaving our prized #1 pick and some shrapnel . For all intents and purposes we have our list, except for one elite player. IMO that will either be Walsh or Rankine. I am very torn about which we should...

Get on board the Paddy Wagon. Patrick cripps esq . If he doesn't win it this year he will win it soon. A brownlow medalist in the making. Carrying our beloved team on his shoulders like the great Judd before him. Unlike the great CJ , there is some back up for Paddy. Entree Doc. Sam D is the...

Round 7 Worse start in our history blah blah blah. Yes its been disappointing, yes there have been moments of despair, but the reality is that as of this moment out of our first 7 games we have played 1.THE TOP 3 TEAMS : Tigers WCE and Adelaide 2. The other games : a. Gold Coast- The...

Ok its a bit of a reach, but there are similarities between David and Harry. Firstly the name Different era's but: Both tall and lanky . 194cm v 200cm Both made debuts at a similar age swan dob 5 nov 1949 debut rnd 3 1969 age 19 yr 165 days harry dob 24 dec 1997 debut rnd 18 23 july 2017 19yr...

We all know the History of how he landed at the Blues. We all have strong opinions about that period of time with Malthouse and Rogers- all negative to wildly varying degrees. Daisy epitomizes in some peoples minds, all that was wrong with the club at the club before the arrival of BB and SOS...

There are a number of players on our list, who divide peoples opinion . Sam Rowe is one of them. He makes mistakes (who doesnt? ) but also does many things that go unnoticed . Overall should we persist or delist?

Was 2015 or 2016 a better overall draft performance from SOS 2015 2015 saw SOS come in and go BANG. he identified some soft players that were not performing to his expectations and traded them for picks. But even so it was a bitter sweet experience for most supporters who saw players...

Interested to hear others thoughts on what shape our midfield will take in 2017 . There has been a lot of skilled, fast, clean hands added to our list in the past month. How far have we gone towards fixing our Achilles heel?

There is no doubt in my mind that we have a great coaching team led by BB. So what should we expect next year? BACKLINE. There is no reason to expect us to go backwards in our backline. We have depth there and some real class. Yet we saw these players operating together this year for the...

The last two matches have given us an insight. One heavy defeat by the top side and then beating their challenger. I dont think we re as bad as the 60 plus defeat suggests. It was lost at the clearances. Without kreuzer we had no hope against goldstein. I think with a better midfield setup we...

When its all done and dusted , AFL is a group of 22 players all striving to beat their opponent. Which 22 players, how fit they are, and the number of games they play due to injury or management is critical for team performance. We all intuitively know that injury plays a part in every teams...

Having got rid of our uncommitted players and drafted in the likes of Kerridge , what is our list of 100% committed players. I dont mean necessarily our most talented, but those that never give less than 100%, show real leadership and dont drop their heads. I think we can use some flexibility to...

With 2015 done and dusted and some early indications as to our draft strategy, as well as the return from injury of a number of more talented players, it is time to speculate. Where will our improvement come from? Back line. This was really our Achilles heel in 2016. Ins: Weitering, Sheehan...

Many on here believe that sos is the massiah and will be the answer to our obvious failures in recruitment and development. Fine. What is the evidence? I have no view yet as to whether he is great or not when it comes to recruiting, so this is not an attempt to discredit or otherwise. I merely...

So the masses believe we are in for a tough year. We will not improve as we have lost Waite and our list is over the hill. But is that necessarily true. I want to analyse our list of likely players for 2015 and compare their output in 2014 to what improvement we might expect in 2015 1. Lets...

The potential dynamics in our new forward line is becoming very interesting. Reading reports from numerous sources I think there are a few conclusions and a few unknowns. 1 We will have three key forward setup. The three pillars policy. 2 Henderson is going to settle in the forward line. no...

Since yarran, carazzo, and laidler have been injured, we have struggled and seem like a different team. All 3 play vital roles IMO towards giving the side the poise under pressure that we seem to have lost. Carazzo. Clearly our stoppages work and clearances have fallen away dramatically...

Ok hopefully you have voted 3 other times for position 3 4 and 5. Now is the last spot to be filled. Lets see who it is. Remember if you havent already voted for #3 #4 and #5 then you should do so before voting here.

Ok getting interesting now. The final 2 places. You are now being asked to vote in a pole for the #5 best midfielder at the CFC. Judd and Stevens are out, and hopefully you have already voted twice for the #3 and #4 midfielders. Remember this is for the 5th best midfielder.....
