Do Carlton need to undertake a list rebuild?

[Old Man Jenkins]

It's clear to see that Carlton's list build has failed, and that a rebuild is required. Their salary cap is at maximum, which rules out a mini reset such as the one Melbourne undertook in 2019 and 2020.

Who are their best youth prospects? Smith will be a beauty when he returns from his knee injury, while Lord, Hollands and White aren't too bad but how many young players do Carlton have who you could build a future premiership team around?

They need to get rid of Curnow he brings the rest of the team down, like a spaceship with a crack in it

 

[SSSSSS]

Rebuilds are hard work.

 

[kane249]

No first rounder this year either

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Just what main board needed... Another Carlton thread!

Oh how the worm has turned in 18 months

I thought Carroll shows some ability

 

[Shane Heard]

I disagree with notions of rebuild talk.

Their list is not that bad.

They just need to weed out 4 or 5 and eliminate those weak players and replace them with rookies and trade ins.

And get a new coach with a fresh approach.

Cripps and Curnow are those weak players, toxic to the team.

He’s simply out of form and devoid of confidence.

Much like Amiss and the other one two years ago for you.

He is not the problem. He’s an absolute gun tall forward you keep while the rest of the them get their shoot together.

Cripps is slowing down. Hes an aging warhorse that’s been battered from pillar to post. But so is Pendlebury. And you can still use clever handball to have a big influence in the play.

CC is as dumb as a box of hammers. He plays on confidence when Carlton are in form. But he’s not as talented as say Fevola. I’d give him some slack.

Toxic is a strong word. There’s a few others that deserve the title way more than Curnow

Do you think that Carlton can do what Collingwood did a few years ago? Everyone said Collingwood's list was rooted and their salary cap was at maximum, and things have turned out OK for them in recent times.

Carlton really need to get their next senior coach appointment right. I've seen people suggest the likes of Longmire, Simpson and Hinkley, but you just know that hiring one of them would be a repeat of the Pagan and Malthouse eras.

And funnily enough, that worm is nowhere to be seen.

Someone new to head coaching- a gun assistant from a professional club. As Brisbane did with Fagan following the disasters that were Voss and Leppa

Yeah none of the above old coots.

They need a younger fresh approach.

But senior coaching appointments to the untried are a gamble.

But that’s footy..

They should go after Rahilly, he's shown himself to be a fantastic forward line coach and his departure after 2023 is a major reason why we went backwards in 2024.

It's been 15 years since a recycled coach won a premiership, but it would be funny if Carlton ended up getting Hinkley as Voss was an assistant under him for quite a few years.

 

[longdonkey]

It would be the funniest thing ever if Carlton got Hinkley. Unfortunately they aren't that stupid.
Carton need to build the bottom of their list not the top end. They've started that process getting rid of high paid guys who have offered little. Still got a couple to go.

No different to you Carlton fans sinking the boots on the dockers lol

Teaching our players how to kick, handball and shoot for goal would also significantly help.

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

Where is your evidence for that?
Name one thing that makes you think they aren't the stupidest club in the comp?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

No
