Analysis Depth Chart/Best 22

[Squibbs]

I think everyone has forgotten how good Conca was.

He will light it up in 2016

Big call

 

[SteveRFC]

Go back and watch some of his highlights. He will be a handy link up, high possession mid next year.

 

[Madness101]

Another key to success will be having a healthy competition for spots

Spot 1. Grimes, Bachelor, Astbury, Chaplin
Spot 2. Grigg, Conco, Townsend,
Spot 3. McBean, Vickery, Griffiths,
SPot 4. Gordan and Loyyd
etc etc
Also for injuries

Is Carlton having one of the most fierce rebuilds ever seen? I reckon they are being more fierce than we were recently. Could be scary.

His hammy will be lucky to hold up through the off-season while he's sitting on his couch

Asking for trouble by saying this.. but Carlton could be very very bad next year.

 

[Madness101]

On a slightly unrelated note, anyone know if that Ivan Soldo has done anything in the VFL at all ?

Will he get a game this year or still a 'work in progress ' ?

Agree, worst than GWS and GC first years. 0 wins is probably most likely, 100 point losses nearly every game.

 

[tigerninja]

Murphy's anti depressants has tripled in strength

Its aggressive, but they've invested very heavily in this coming draft which we know isn't that strong
They'd want to make sure their development team is set up properly

 

[TigermanM2]

Menadue will be in the conversation next year I reckon. He's got something.

Yeah and Drummond.

 

[TigerImposter]

Miles away.
2017 at best

 

[pebblestone]

They will absolutely be putrid. No maybe about it.
Then they'll ask for a priority pick because they're the worst team in ever.
Blues fans I know are actually looking forward to another spoon so they can get another pick 1. ****wits.

 

[Rustof]

Gone are the days of our best 22 varying by a dozen players according to various opinions...

Feels good to be settled.

FB: Griffiths Cotchin Dea
HB: Drummond McKenzie Maric
C: Morris McBean Hunt
HF: Castagna Astbury Townsend
FF: Grimes Hampson Chaplin
FOLL: Grigg Rance Batchelor

INT: Deledio Martin Riewoldt Butler

 

[Bobblefighter]

It will be scary until they mis-develop the kids and they get so frustrated that they all leave Carlton for teams who won't give them a spoon every Christmas.

Carlton lack many things like:
1/ strong culture lead from the top - eg benny gale
2/ great development environment for the younger and sometimes wayward players - eg choco
3/ love of the jumper - you know when jack spits the dummy its because his heart bleeds yellow and black

Thats why they will always be CFC
CARLTON FLOG CLUB

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Menadue will be in the conversation next year I reckon. He's got something.

Definitely can play.
Another season away though I reckon.

 

[bananatigz]

B: Jake Batchelor, Troy Chaplin, Dylan Grimes
HB: Bachar Houli, Alex Rance, Nick Vlastuin
C: Brandon Ellis, Trent Cotchin, Kamdyn McIntosh
HF: Brett Deledio, Tyrone Vickery, Chris Yarran
F: Shane Edwards, Jack Reiwoldt, Ben Lennon
R: Ivan Maric, Dustin Martin, Anthony Miles
I: Shaun Grigg, Reece Conca, Corey Ellis, Ben Griffiths

EMG: Jacob Townsend, Kane Lambert, Taylor Hunt

Think realistically with the abolition of the sub rule we will see 3 talls, think that will be consistent with all clubs not just ours, so Griffiths comes in. Hard to see Hunt being left out after being part of such an effective back 7, but I think he is at his ceiling and probably needs to get pushed out to get where we want to go. Think McIntosh would be perfectly suited to that 7th defender role, setting him up at half back gives him a great opportunity to run and carry but he should also be pretty good defensively having played as a defender for most of his junior years. Yarran will also run through there at times obviously so I don't think Hunt is required in the best 22, would rather that spot goes to someone like Corey Ellis. Would love us to take some like Ah Chee at 12, which gives us our small forward and allows Yarran to play wing/half back where he can do a lot of damage. Rest of them are pretty self-explanatory except maybe Conca, but I still have a lot of time for him.

Stupid article. It doesnt take into consideration the draft picks clubs have given up.

 

[SpudsLoveChild]

I think everyone has forgotten how good Conca was.

I'm the same. If he stays fit he adds a lot to the team.

 

[TiggerMan22]

I think everyone has forgotten how good Conca was.

Yeh they have. There was a point when everyone was saying Conca was a better choice than Heppell.
He tackles, he is hard at it and he is faster than he looks. Will be ncie to have him fit again.

 

[TiggerMan22]

Is Carlton having one of the most fierce rebuilds ever seen? I reckon they are being more fierce than we were recently. Could be scary.

Ours was worse. We just delisted and retired all our players, so we go no extra draft picks or players back.

 

[Calcium Man]

How many senior spots do we have on our list?
