Some of the reason it's gone bad is because of Saad and Williams -- Saad has been average 80% of games played -- Williams can't do what we recruited him -- same as Martin and mcgovern haven't been able to provide what they should be due to there fragile bodiesExactly. Carlton currently has very few assets to tempt players from other clubs & Cripps is about the biggest there is at Carlton. Everyone knows Carlton is underperforming, including players coming out of contract. It's not really clear if that is due to bad culture or bad coaching but neither is an attractive proposition for other players.
I'm sure Saad & Williams are both pretty disappointed with how this year has gone.
I don't for a minute believe that Carlton has cap issues when you look at the list of players OOC this year. It's like half the list. There's no point though having cap space if it ends up being used to pay over the odds for underperforming/low skill players just to hit the minimum. Carlton did that for years because no players would come.
I think the only way Teague can survive is with a big turnover of assistants, which I would like to see and for the whole group to start laying down some non-negotiables. It has been too easy at Carlton for too long, too easy to get a game, too easy to bludge, too easy to miss tackles, too easy to have sh*t skills.
