Are Carlton on the verge of greatness?

[Freomaniac]

Finals bound!!!

You still haven't replied to my post regarding to the end of the 2023 season.

 

[Chief]

How many premierships have Carlton won in your lifetime?

Compared that to me and my mob?

See my original post. Last line, to be exact.

I just did... And my reply will be similar.

So you go see your last line. LoL

The team seem to have really lost their way on field this year, and now look checked out

Off field needs a lot of work also

All jokes aside, this does appear to be the case.

It’s weird the same supporters who were gobbing off after they beat us in round 1 last year have not been as chirpy since, weird. Can’t even begin to
describe the joy of watching the 60 - 0 start to the final last year. And for the hat it’s worth, no they are not of the verge of anything good.

Try putting up with the campaigners all summer telling us they were top 4 bound and we were ****ed

Yep, delusional- that’s what makes it so enjoyable.

I just feel sorry for the Carlton supporters and im a Richmond supporter

Truly think our 37 years of sh!tness is in danger of being over taken

 

[1972championsofaust]

Maybe……
Their AFLW team!

 

[Viceregal]

Define "verge".

Well ... two main options paraphrased below ...

Are Carlton quiveringly poised and about to spring into a glorious greatness undeniable to even their fiercest critics and longest and most unforgiving foes?

Hell no!!!

Are Carlton sitting on the sidelines passively enjoying the view of other team's greatnesses seemingly contented with their mediocrity and passively accepting their current position and remembering their erstwhile claims to such an estate back in the good old days?

Sounds about right!

Of course that may have been a purely rhetorical question...

Agreed, it’s 30 and counting. They look at least 5 years away

Let’s remember it’s probably not that bad as they are checked out at the moment.
Needs big changes at the end of the season

Big changes can also go either way

With the top end players getting older how many will still be there in 5 years
Mckay , Curnow , Cripps , Wietering , McFovern , Saad , Hewitt , Silvagni , Pitto and possibly Walsh being finished

5 years easily turns into 10

They’re going to sprint past it like Gout Gout

 

[Cleric]

To answer OP, no, no they are not.

McKay, Weitering, Curnow, Silvagni and Walsh should all be there in 5 years time. The rest not.

Motlop?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Motlop?

Captain coach by then

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Try being told Silvagni is in near All Australian form and is next line to be captain

You seen their squad. He could actually be the next captain.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Try being told Silvagni is in near All Australian form and is next line to be captain

Which Carlton fans were these and what did they say?

From memory before hurting his groin he was the top rated KPD by the Champion Data nuffies so he must have been doing something right

 

[Mr.X]

We might find if blues do well with the Curnow trade it can turn around fast.

Forward setup and overall game plan will be different, good trading can bring in some ready made players

 

[Mr.X]

Whether Voss is good or not or middling, whom and i to know.

Sacked or not sacked. Makes no difference to me.

Getting a new coach, what exactly more will they get out of this list? Because i can't see it.

I can see the list in decline. A new coach will be sacked even quicker.

Rinse and repeat.

Think we’ll see blues will put up with a poor 2026, it’ll be an interesting off season and expect they’ll be aggressively reading.

blues have seen that more than coaching changes are needed
