In any case, I wrote this down in the "Carlton are putrid" thread on the main board. Think it's relevant here:
Let's break down the players on the list:
Good players that won't be part of their next flag: Walker, Murphy, Gibbs (debatable), Judd, Simpson, Rowe, Thomas, Jamison.
Experienced players that are crap: Kreuzer, Warnock, Jones, Armfield, Everitt (debatable), Curnow, Wood, Casboult, White, Carrazzo, Ellard
Good players that have time on their side: Menzel, Cripps, Yarran, Docherty, Henderson, Tuohy
Unproven young players: Buckley, Watson, Boekhurst, Viojo-Rainbow, Jaksch, Giles, Holman, Sheehan, Tutt, Whiley, Smith, Foster, Bell, Gowers, Johnson, Dick, Graham, Walsh, Fields, Byrne, Russell
That list profile is pretty poor. Of the last list, 19 of them have played less that 20 games, the equivalent of a full season. Of the 2nd group, you have 3 who've played less than 50 games, which is simply unacceptable for a club that was widely tipped for a bottom 6 finish. For all the "don't blame Mick" crap, he's not playing the kids, when in reality it's what they should be doing.
Now they should keep half of the top group and retire/trade the other half. Judd is going to retire this season, Simpson also a possibility. You keep 1 of Rowe and Jamison, probably Rowe. Keep 2 or 3 of Walker, Murphy, Gibbs, Thomas.
A template for the rest of the season (with everyone fit):
Tuohy - Jamison - ??? (Giles)
Walker - Rowe - Simpson
Murphy - Judd - Docherty
Yarran - Henderson - Thomas
Menzel - Jaksch - ??? (Foster)
Warnock - Gibbs - Cripps
??? - ??? - ??? - ??? (Rotation of Buckley, Boekhurst, Viojo-Rainbow, Holman, Sheehan, Whiley, Johnson, Graham, Fields, Byrne)
