Shake down the thunder
I think Carlton have too much talent to keep missing finals. They'll get there eventually, but the prospect of them becoming as good as Brisbane is becoming increasingly unlikely. Signing Daniher was massive for Brissie.
I think Carlton's talent is over rated and there is not much of it. A fading Cripps, a negative Mick Martin style FB, one very good young Mid and a capable forward is pretty much it.
They need a massive clear out and fire sale to begin a thorough rebuild.
A better comparison for the Blues would be with the Roos, Dons and Pies.
