Never.

But how long can U soldier on hoping the same ship can deliver something new.
Like a Formula 1 car, sometimes you're only a few tweaks and a new driver away from matching the top teams.

If Carlton can add a few runners on the outside who can deliver the ball well and have a change in some game plan/strategy stuff I see no reason we can't get back to our best footy with the group like we saw over the last couple of seasons.
 
Kenneth Hinkley is the man for Carlton. Can undertake a mini rebuild and get them going quickly.
Kenny is the only man in the AFL to truly expose Mitchell's melts for what they are.

Get the man in!

No

However they have shithouse depth and if the ball hits the deck in the forward 50 I would be shitting myself as a carlton defender because the footy is going to be flying into our defensive 50

Im not going to say I study carlton like a fan (Im sorry for all those who suffer) However Im not sure if it's a talent issue of the small forwards or the thing hinges on a Big forward has to take a mark to generate shots on goal

Do we need yet another Carlton thread?
Smith hasn't played a game so saying he's a "beauty" really is premature.
Never heard of the other ones you mentioned.
Hollands is shit.
Of course they need a rebuild. FFS. They are absolutely shit house.
Just not sure why we need yet another thread on Carlton
Yes we do need another Carlton thread.

There was one thread where at the end of 2023, you thought Carlton were miles Infront of Freo because Carlton flukes their way to a prelim final and Freo finished 14th

If Carlton were smart they would sack Voss and all the assistants

Throw what ever they can to get BLAKE CARACELLA

He was the person instrumental in the Richmond dynasty and knows his sheet
 
It’ll be like a rebuild if both Charlie and McKay are traded

They’ll need to bring in some established players to build from
 
They either stick with their current list and hope Cripps, Curnow, Walsh, Weitering, etc get reinvigorated, and Jagga and improvement from other youngsters allows them to contend for a position in the bottom half of the top 8, or regress further and resign themselves to bottom 4, in the hope that rebuild v7.0 works better.

Given a full rebuild would take another 7 years or so to come to fruition I don't think they can really afford to try that.

Doesn't mean they can be successful with this group either though.

Agree with this, they’re in a really horrible position.

Everyone knows what they need to do, they just can’t afford to do it.
 
I don't know what they need to do, whether it is players, game plan, coaching, skills, etc. but the last 2 Carlton games I've watched, they've just looked well below the level of their opposition.

Last night it seemed like the players were trying hard, but they just weren't good enough to compete with Hawthorn, and while the Hawks are good, there is still a chance they could miss the 8. So if the Blues are struggling to compete with that, that's not a great sign.

Really?

There was far too much evidence of lack of chasing and Hawks players breaking tackles to regard Carlton as 'trying hard'.

Hawthorn got out to a comfortable 40 point margin early, and went into cruise control for the remainder of the match, which resulted in a semi respectable final score line for Carlton.
