Surely still rehabbing the ACLWill he play?
Sam Walsh looks bloody incredible.
Starting to think they won't be bottom four for long.
I still have concerns about them, especially their spine. Docherty going down early will hurt them too. But they have some serious talent in the midfield now.
Cripps, Walsh, Dow, Setterfield, Fisher, Murphy is a solid on ball brigade. Obviously some of these guys are unproven but the raw ingredients are there.

Dunno about the 4 above. Murphy is close to being cooked, others I’m not sold on.

If you were Carlton you probably think 15 years is long enough......Starting to think they won't be bottom four for long.
Sounds good to me.Watching last night, the rules won't effect forward lines as most thought.
It's the center bounces that are completely different.
With no additional wingers and extra players behind the ball coming off the square etc, teams have to play man-on-man defence for the center bounces.
There was an acre of space for the center square mids, even 10-15 seconds after it was bounced, because the half backs have to be accountable, the bunch of mids are essentially left alone to win the ball.
Mids like Martin and Dangerfield are going to have a field day with these rules. There's so much space after you win the ball to break away.
Higgins might go to an even higher level.
I think the rules really suit Polec as well. Seeing as the wings are really the only ones that can impact the center square contests. He will enjoy the space out there.

I concur wholeheartedly. Hope they remain in football hell for the rest of my term.The campaigners tried to buy us out. Some of the most arrogant supporters whether they're up and about or not.
Let them burn.

Not the worst spine in the league.
Clearly I'm not judging them on exposed form, they don't have a lot of it. Plus they've never been supported by a half decent midfield.I'd argue that it actually is based on exposed form. If it wasn't for the Gold Coast it wouldn't be close either.

I wouldn't be surprised if they outperformed the spines of teams like the Saints, Hawks, and Fremantle. They're miles ahead of Gold Coast and the Bulldogs for mine.
Sorry if I don't take this post very seriously when it starts off with "Weitering has shown nothing". He has shown a lot in his career, especially in his first year. Hasn't been able to back that up yet but the talent is still there.There's a lot of projection when you make a comment like that.
Weitering has shown nothing but the ability to look lost when playing against the best forwards, Marchbank is a handy player but isn't a shutdown player at all, and Curnow/McKay are both insanely raw and benefit from being the only half-decent forwards on Carlton's list.
At the Gold Coast, Rory Thompson is a better KPD than anybody on Carlton's list, while the duo of Wright and Lukosius is comparable to that of Curnow and McKay. For the Bulldogs, I'd argue that Morris and Cordy are more superior to Weitering/Marchbank than Curnow and McKay are to Boyd and Schache at the other end.
Keep in mind that we're talking about a team that won two games last year. While their midfield was shocking, the fact that they were playing underdeveloped kids in the backline and forwardline did them no favors at all. Potential only counts for so much, so I also don't think we should crown every high draft pick as a future gem just because they occasionally show something.
