Disagree. He's done 3/5 of SFA at Carlton. Doesn't matter if it's bad management, bad luck, bad footballer. It simply does not matter. He's your highest paid player and needs to actually perform within the realm of what would be expected as a result. Time to extract the digit.
Fitness permitting Bolton and Co should be setting him the challenge of top 5 B&F. It shouldn't be that difficult given how poorly Carlton's list at present drops off from about the best 6-8 players. As iirc the only premiership player on Carlton's list he should leave the jovial lairising to others, should be trying to be a leader for a young group of players unaware of what it takes to go all the way.
I don't know why I see and hear so many Carlton fans denigrate or dismiss things that past players like Walls and like McClure say. They're not afraid to give the harsh but true feedback for the club they bleed for.
Reeks of the truth hurting and from my comfy spot on the couch in 2015 it seemed to me that more often than not McClure's criticisms of Carlton were warranted and accurate and the easiest way to stop that is to improve as a team and Dale Thomas focusing on being a leader at the club rather than morale manager will certainly help.

No question. He'll be fit and ready to go round 1. I expect he will be top 5 providing he can play the season out.
McClure loves bashing the club. That's all it is. Walls is an absolute flog. Didn't see these guys when we were playing finals but they all suddenly appear when we're struggling. **** them.
