Exactly.
If he was a dud destined to lead them nowhere what would his W/L have been? Pretty similar

He’s not dragging them down, it’s their list that’s doing that. They’ll be okay in 2-3 years, that’s how long it’s going to take to clean up that mess.
Unless the majority of their 17 under 22 players (plus this year's draft) become good players (and can replace Gibbs, Simpson, Kreuzer, Casboult, Murphy) they will have limited improvement.
They look to have 4 very good players on the way (Curnow, Weitering, Marchbank, SPS) to go with Cripps and Docherty but most teams can say that.
Just goes to show, whilst you're in the honeymoon period a coach can do no wrong.
I'll wait and see how Bolton goes under the weight of real expectation. Right now the bar is set ultra low.
Yep, especially if it's big Max that goes down, they are are short on talls.

The former Melbourne forward says that St Kilda and the Demons are at most risk of tumbling down the ladder in 2018 if the clubs’ injury prone stars continue to spend significant time on the sidelines.
“If Melbourne lose (Jesse) Hogan and (Sam) Weideman and (Jake) Lever to injuries, they’ll fall away,” he said.
“I’m worried about my mob. We’ve got injury prone players as well. Jesse Hogan, who has had issues, you can’t predict cancer but there’s just a lot of things. Christian Salem had a thyroid condition (that could) flare up again.”
That can be said for any club... Inc the crows... Luckily for us we have a bit of depth in all areas.

Yes .....but we WANT this to be true .....want Melbourne's top 10 pick next year .....pick 4 or 5 would be great thankyou
As much as i would like it.. Tanking for centuries has netted them some decent players.

Yes, I think we have far better depth than a couple of years ago & better than most top teams. Think we can cover anyone... but if any team gets a bad injury run, then they are probably in strife.

Say what...Weidemann is one of their 3 most important players along side Leaver who hasn't played a game?
What is this guy on?

One more year please
If lever is injury prone... Id imagine he should be more injury prone if he has to be more accountable

They would want Cripps to have a better run with injury... or their midfield will be very vulnerable!...and Gibbs left

I'm sure his Mum will take good care of him this year and have him tucked up in bed by 7. He'll be ok

Slightly worrying: poster on the Carlton board reckons they are in an "infinitely better" position with their team than 12 months ago, without Gibbs and Docherty.
Luckily it was everyone's friend geoff.

I think you might be surprised at how Carlton do this season. They’re young but they will play a very tight and disciplined style of game. Gibbs is one player and one player never makes much of a difference to a team. What happened to the Crows after Danger left us?

Stupid comment by OX. Lever hasn’t even suited up for them yet. Viney and Gawn are the ones they need to keep healthy. Melbourne beat us at AO without Hogan. Hogan has missed a lot of football over the last couple of years.

Danger was the epitome of the Ewing effect, we defer to him and our team structures suffered IMO. One of Gibbs strengths is that his game is inclusive. Aslo Doc out will be just as if not more damaging for the blues.
