People keep saying we couldnt make a trade due to salary cap. I don't understand that. Poor list management was because we didnt make a trade.
If we dont shake the mental/physical softness this year it has been a wasted year. I personally would have mixed it up last pre season as to me and most of the football world it looked like we were flogging a dead horse. What we have seen this year so far hasn't changed my mind.

I see us as a longer term job than 3 years. I will concede though that he unexpectedly got Coll into a GF in his third year in 2002

Hope it works out the same way at Carlton but I would've interviewed & given the job to the guy who presented the best long term view, preferably a young coach (& saved ourselves a few hundred k). As Grroo says, massive job ahead reprogramming mentally & physically. And no tall forward.

As I've said before, I'm not a Malthouse hater, never was - I actually quite like hearing the guy talk about footy. I just thought his appointment was just so typical Carlton. In my view we did what footy clubs have done before when they've made the finals - overestimated our list.
