Where do you get the idea that change = improvement is what I think?
The age demographic is a lot younger, the culture is much better and the talent is much better. Just about every part of the club is better.

I think it was generally accepted that the team in 2016 had reached its peak. We were one of the oldest lists in the comp at the time iirc and the team was rife with list cloggers and a dearth of young talent. We've alleviated that problem fairly comprehensively imo.

What's with the considerable amount of Carlton trolling on Big Footy lately? Seems like there are a lot on insecure fans out there going pretty hard for some unknown reason. Is there concern around Carlton improving? Or is it just traditional rivalry stuff? Seems really hostile.
Yet, last year you moved those older players into prime positions and started winning.
But no matter, you are talking about potential, where is the resurgence so far?
Not sure about the trolling but lets be honest. It would be hard for Carlton not to improve.
Let’s hope for the competitions sake the basket case of the past 20 years can get back to their old arrogant selves.
AFL will be a better competition when brown paper bags are back in vogue and the Blues are flying again.
Yes, throwing all the kids into all the key spots should work out fine, as has been proven time and time again. Letting them grow into roles and develop there game behind senior players is a bunch of rubbish and is not the way to develop kids. What Carlton should do is let them get crushed in the middle week in week out by senior bodies whilst simultaneously overloading your star player to the point of exhaustion by mid season is a much better strategy.
2 wins to 7 wins seems like a bit of a resurgence to me, especially with 6 of those wins coming in the last 10 games and 2 of the losses that period by 5 points or less.
OMG and around and around we go, where we stop no-body knows.

Been confirmed by ITK’s a new contract wasn’t guaranteed.
His role as list manager is a direct conflict of interest, and as both Jack and Ben are past their initial contracts it’s much harder to be impartial when evaluating their spots on the list and drawing up new contracts for them.
It’s in both parties best interest to part ways - it is now just a matter of when.

Also don’t get distracted by the one team omitted was the best team in the comp at the time, who we beat after coming back from 37 points down.
You can only beat who you’re put up against.
Hope the news is true. Then again if Browne says it then it will be wrong.
Nothing showing on club, AFL, Herald Sun, Fox Sports or Age websites so maybe there's no smoke or a fire.

The Tom Browne factor means that SOS will actually be named new CEO of Carlton.
Gets there in 2014? They then finish:
18th in 2015 with 4 wins
14th in 2016 with 7 wins
16th in 2017 with 6 wins
18th in 2018 with 2 wins
16th in 2019 with 7 wins
SOS - my work here is done.
Excellent list management.

Don't forget that we finished 16th, so 4 of those 5 were against teams higher than us on the ladder.

Yeah, and Carlton lost to most of those teams.
A win is a win, enjoy your teams success while you have it, the wheel always keeps turning.

You're talking over these nuffies heads mate...I wouldn't bother - they can't think or see past single digit numbers.
When you win double digit number of games, then i suppose we need to worry about that.
At the moment single digit numbers is all we have to look at

So in fact he hasn't been sacked and the thread title is incorrect?
