Carlton 2015?

[Alfredo Rojas]

Think this year probs no finals sad to say... What should be the goals and expectations for 2015?...

I hope this thread is appropriate on Carlton board for a change

Premiership.

Premiership.

Its unlikely seeing teams not making finals then winning a premiership... Geelong did it in 2007 but we don't have that calibre players , need to build towards it hence reasonable expectations in 2015

Mate, why are you so determined to start a thread? Must be other ways of validating your existence?

That is the funniest thing I have heard in a while, if I ever run into you at a football game I will buy you a beer

I do too, because if you couldn't get it right again I would be very concerned for you! Probably wouldn't be throwing cheap shots if you have been in the wrong more than once before too btw...

I'm more interested in our goals and expectations for the rest of this year with the kids we have only seen a little of. Will worry about next year a little later.

Ole, Alfredo. I don't drink but a hot latte would be nice. Good luck with your thread.

Going for the trifecta tonight, Alfredo Rojas.

I'll start taking bets, come at me people. Lets get this started.

And no 2 stroke, Thy.

 

[thylacine60]

Get around Alfredo!

 

[King of Ruin]

Better have Parmesan cheese or GTFO.

 

[zeeCFC]

Surely there's a megathread for this somewhere?

It's not what you post, it's where you post it....

Without rules, the world will descend into chaos. Civilizations crumble, cats and dogs living together, thylacine60 drinking, Immortal Tyrant not....

I'd like to see 3 new potential guns come in, plenty of hard-pruning of deadwood, a low injury count in the pre-season, no Arizona, a shrunk Board, a soft fixture, the end of the Etihad deal, a solid start in the early games and a top 8 finish.

Do you think teams have gone past Blues?... Like Demons & GWS?... I just feel even if draw soft side still no easy draw.. I feel these teams have better youth and nucleus moving forward at the moment, fearing left our run bit late... Dogs 50/50...

I think our fitness has fallen behind other sides which has ruined the team's confidence.

With maturity and good management we can hopefully get back in finals. After the 2013 off season I can't wait to see how we follow it up this year. We managed to cheaply acquire solid role players and talented footballers while other teams took the likes of Sylvia and Hampson on potential alone.

 

[mikeythemoocow]

I expect to be disappointed.

This is truely a sad state of affairs.

 

[kanye_best]

well I suppose here is better than the main board

I just feel we don't have enough a-grade talent to get us to a top 8... Look at Pies think they have at least 3 A-graders in Pendlebury, Beams, Sidebottom and few B-graders but doubt will be enough to get them to finals

No I posted Carlton related topics here but canned

Mods, surely people talking about their sex lives is a little off topic?

Do you expect playing finals in 2015 or a long year?

Gibbs, Murphy, Judd, Thomas, Simpson, Henderson, Jamison, Yarran aren't good enough in their positions?

The issue is the lower end of the list and we're slowly chipping away at it through development (Rowe and co.) and list management.
