You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
Just one of the many errors of the MM era we live with. Thankfully Eddie is now back where he belongs.

Buckenara: Why Blues can win flag in two years
). Comments in parentheses are all mine, not his.Finals next year should be first step.
Slow build of elite young talent, now primed to hit trade and FA market.
Fair Saad trade? Top 20 pick, or pick 7 with pick in teens coming back (about the most rational suggestion I've heard from a media personality, I must say).
Zac Williams; a nice addition, but not if he's going to cost the touted sums of 800 - 900 K (but he's not, so we don't need to care about that). Players worth that: Bont, Heeney (?), Pendles. Worries that ZW price could affect young star contracts in future (again, he needs to stop listening to bullshit sums).
Charlie return will be huuuuge. Him, McKay, McGov/TDK, Martin; a frightening forward half. Wants McKay to have more consistent impact (don't we all?).
(This next bit is going to be interesting in terms of reactions around here
)7 players 21 and under who could be stars; LOB (!!!), Philp, Stocker included. Time to get Betts out of the team to get a spot for these types and see what they can do (a la Port). Additional year for Eddie a mistake, won't be in next flag team.
Needs: find more help for Cripps (der) and not assume that improvement will come naturally. Need to keep working on and with the likes of Weits, Harry, TDK, Gibbo. While SPS, Dow, LOB, Stocker, Marchbank, Fish and Setters all need to "knuckle down".
Trades: Don't go after the likes of JDG, off field issues, injuries and inconsistency. Prefers Saad any day. Let JDG go to Norf for a mil, they'll be silly enough (!!). Based on last year's Wines rumour, should revisit that possibility, he wanted to return - lure of flag with Port may not have overcome the reasons for wanting to come home. Parker from Swans another suggestion, 28 next year, would be a huge help in the middle and won't play in Swans next flag. Offer them pick 7 (!!). Ask the question of Lonie from Saints - OOC.
(Another section that it will be fun to see the local reaction to)
Untouchables: Cripps (der), Dow (!!), Walsh (der), Harry, Weiterbot and Charllie (all der!), Fish, Stocker (!!), LOB (!!), Marchbank, Setters, SPS (!!), Plow, Philp, Martin, Jones, Ed, Doch (der), Kemp.
Trade Bait: Levi [cos he's under contract]. Dow's name been thrown around, but he SHOULDN'T be up for trade. Buckenara thinks he'll still be a good player.

A: Crippa
B: Ed, Doch, Fish, Jones, Marchbank, Martin, Murph (!!), Newnes, SPS (!!), Plow (!!), Weits
C: Eddie, Levi, Cunners, Charlie [cos of injury], Gibbo, Knnedy, Macreadie, McGov, McKay, Moore (!!), Newman, Pitt, Polson, Setters (huh?), JSOS, Williamson
Developing [possible A/Bs]: TDK, Dow, Kemp, LOB, Philp, Stocker, Walsh (he should be A already, at worst B - which team wouldn't find a spot for him?)
Developing: Cottrell, Honey, Owies, Phillips, Ramsay.
Future: Talented enough for finals next year with ZW and Saad, but not a serious threat. 2022 could be a serious contender if we can recruit 1 or 2 more big-bodied mids (assume high-quality).
That's about it. Obviously the article is more verbose, but I don't know how much we can get away with here. All the vital points are here, and there's plenty of discussion fodder in that lot!

No probs. Happy to provide the service if there are other Hun articles of interest.
EDIT: I mean Carlton articles, just in case that's not obvious

SOS confirming what I have been hearing, the jungle drums continue to beat re Cripps.

I'm not worried about Cripps leaving as long as it's not as a FA. Wed be handsomely compensated with picks and a young gun.
Cripps body could be toast by the time he's 29
Plus one of Kemp, Stocker or Dow surely has to make it
Last edited:
He'll signs for another 2 years, along with McKay..
It's beyond those 2 years with Cripps I'm concerned about.
