Lets not write off 2016

[bluebrew]

Can't really see that happening sosos.

As long as who ever has it gives 100 % on the field and presents well off the field..does it really matter who is.

I don't see how 2016 can be any worse than watching Carlton over the last three years, even if we win zero games.

Here we go again!

People think we will be worse for losing henderson yarran menzel ? LOL they Had given up playing the game as they could at their best Putting anything in their place that gives 100 % 100 % of the time is an improvement.

Indeed. No matter how much talent and ability a player has, if they're not mentally applied 100% and in the game, you're basically a player down from the start.

We're always told that when it comes to people with such a "negative energy" that sucks the life out of everything including yourself, we should steer clear of those people. In this case I'm advocating Ignore List

Really I'm negative?

As I said a couple of days ago, I have NEVER seen any positive posts from you in any thread you post in.

You seem very agenda driven to drag the Club/players down at every opportunity and derail every thread.

I doubt you are even a Carlton supporter and you are more suited to the Flogbook Carlton fan pages.

Ha nope, I worded that badly. I meant if people suck the life and positive feeling out of you, just by being around them. I've been around people like that too and it can just make you feel depressed. I was referring to our feathered friend here.

4-5 wins to keep the boys optimistic about the future and a bottom 3 finish would be fine with me.

High maintenance...anyway everyone is entitled to an opinion on here, but a constant negative narrative is weird really...

I’m an optimist. I look at them at think: ‘Gee, they’re a good bunch of kids’, I love them and I reckon they can get the best out of themselves and we can have a damn good year.

He didn't specify which year.

I don't post very often, so it is a pretty weak application of this agenda I supposedly have.

What players have I dragged down?

 

[BringBackJezza]

First ever post. I'm sick and tired of conventional theory that rebuild means years in the wilderness. Bulldogs proved that wrong. West coast went from nothing to top in short time. I'm an optimist. Lets surprise em all....

 

[Dramoth]

we have sold off the silverware in order to pay the bills. Now we have nothing but good honest toil ahead.

Some of the silverware...

 

[bluebrew]

Some of the silverware...

And some of that silverware was tarnished...with no redeeming features.

 

[RAPPA]

We have appointed a coach that has arrived from a culture of success; we will be injecting a significant degree of youth into our team; we have removed those who simply did not want to play for the navy blue; and we are under no illusions that the club is in the midst of a rebuild. Bring on 2016!!!

 

[sosos]

Can't really see that happening sosos.

Probably a couple of years too late I suppose.

But will Murphy retain the position? With Cripps too young, the only other possibility would be Gibbs.

I liked how vocal Gibbs was defending Murphy and the club when they were under siege mid year.

 

[Ti22]

Look we aren't going to do much in 2016 we are going to get smashed more than anything but we will come through on the other side and 2017 it begins.

 

[HARKER]

New footage has surfaced showcasing the real reason Thomas had to be sidelined for the year, after his first minute injury in 2015

 

[jj1978]

Cripps, Docherty, Tuohy, Kreuzer, Gibbs, Murphy, Casbolt, Simpson, Curnow, Everitt, Buckley, Boekhurst, Thomas

There's 13 of probably our regular 22 (not including Rowe, Jamison, Walker) who if each play each game at a minimum of 80% their best we'll be competitive.

Then add in your Whites, Graham, Lamb, Smith, Kerridge, Irish lads, and other kids fighting for a spot we have something brewing. Our complete list will be fighting for spots in the 22 with heaps of youth. Will Smith take that next step? Will DVR get a game and strut? Will No1 play a dozen games and show something awesome....

With our elder statesmen really only being Simpson, Jamo and Walker just build this youth for the next two years when we'll have lots of our list in that 21-26 bracket and anything is possible.

 

[Ti22]

Another good draft and we will be ready to go.

 

[Doro]

Low expectations as far as wins are concerned but plenty to look forward to. I agree largely with the OP, this is actually an exciting period to be a supporter, as we boldly go where the club hasn't gone before. Draft night this year will be extra interesting and hopefully our ex Giants grab the opportunity. Feeling positive about the future.

Our new theme song maybe?
