Nailed it.And yet * are a game and percentage above a Carlton side that has played Murphy/Levi/Newnes/Cottrell in the same side in a lot of games thanks to injuries and developing kids in the twos, a head coach who unfortunately doesn’t seem up to being a head coach, assistants and line coaches who need replacing, John Barker who left mid-season when it should have happened years ago, a non-existent game plan and an internal review hanging over their heads.
If the very best football that * could produce under a head coach that the media praises is a game and percentage above 13th on the ladder after Round 18, there is nothing noteworthy about that. If *’s best 22 could only muster up that against all those issues that Carlton have had this year, they really shouldn’t be getting too excited.
