Carlton right now are pretty much exactly where brisbane were 12 months ago. imagine carlton being a flag contender next season! We've seen teams rebuild and rocket up the ladder when it comes together but Brisbane winning the flag this year would be the most remarkable rise of all time.
they're healthy and playing with house money so they're going to be dangerous and I hope they go all the way, but going on a run in September against a bunch of hardened finals teams is a big ask.

annus horribilus makes you recognise many of your players arent up to it.Reckon Bris are on solid improvement with a growing & developing list.

Yep.
And a solid core of youngsters about to gel into a good side.
Curnow, Cripps, Walsh, Dow etc

Only thing I see letting them down is the big key forward but they’re a talented team and will win at least one very soon
Yeah great point mate, the team with the second most points for doesn't have scoring power never would of thought of that by myself and also Charlie cameron who has scored more goals than any other small fwd this year and is 6th in the coleman along side the best young KPF in the game who is 20th in the coleman playing basically 2 less games this year isn't a good enough fwd line, Also leaving out McStay, Big O and Rayner who can all score a goal or 2 most games alongside a team with a bunch of goal scoring mids. You made a great point to be honest

You don't consider Hipwood or McStay big key forwards?
Oh - so it does do that. Huh. Well there you go.

I went to the game yesterday.
They have a good midfield
Good ruckmen
Servicable defence
Talented forward line
Definitely a scary proposition for all other 7 teams.

That's cool just curious why you didn't rate them. Hipwood was and still is a rake but starting to slowly fill out and take some decent contested marks. McStay has the tools just needs to fix his kicking for goal and it should all come together

Hipwood won’t ever be a broad bloke, just genetics dictate that.
He’s still strong and athletic enough right now

See you on the 9th green at 9
I would say our defence is better than our midfield and forward line, especially in terms of consistency. Our midfield has been inconsistent at times, our defence has not.

McStay needs to fix more than just his goal kicking. Not clunking enough marks and really struggles to work his way in to games.
Way down on confidence too which I think is related to his goal kicking

It all comes down to the mindset of handling the pressure of finals footy on the day.
Play Geelong, Tigers or Pies on the G in a prelim and it’s hard work maintaining that mindset in front of a hostile crowd.
Get to the GF and that’s a whole different type of game as we all know. Supreme pressure and aggression required.
Can they win it? As long as they have their best 22 on the park and the back 6 are in sync...sure they can.
I’d be barracking for them for sure.

No finals experience. Just don’t think they’ll do it myself but stranger things have happened, clearly, the cricket last night for example...
Thats about the only thing then, Carlton are still bumping along the bottom, much as I'd love to see them challenging for the 8.
Not really worried about hostile crowds. Plenty of hostility yesterday - appeared unfazed.
Added bonus is we will actually have pretty vocal support from fans (and maybe even most neutrals) in any game played in Vic.
