To not drop any games we should win (eg. vs. the Aints, Dogs, Dees etc)
To beat Hawthorn... It's Time.
To beat Geelong, Collingwood and Essendon* at least once.

watson becomes our CHB,
docherty becomes a key running defender,
lucas learns to play like robinson, {attack the ball},
graham gets more games,
casboult learns to kick,
not much at all.......
would love menzel to win the NAB rising star..

Play some "unsociable" footy. No prisoners - along the Wayne Johnstone/Harmes model. No more nancy boy stuff. I want us to be very good and "bad" at the same time.

want us to finally beat the hawks. Won't be easy.

Would also like to see guys like Garlett Yarran Touhy get more midfield time. And for Robbie Warnock to be given every opportunity as our no.1 ruck.

...and this as well.

We older followers of Carlton have been spoiled in the past....we've had sides that were so good they continually embarrassed opposing teams with class and sheer ability.

We've had teams that combined class with toughness where it counted....we always seemed to get the recipe right.

The constant talk today is midfielders.....(used to be called Rovers).....I yearn for a Michael Sexton at CHB.....he was a Rock.....a Mark Maclure at CHF....a Geoff Southby or SOS at FullBack.....a Des English in the back pocket....a Peter Dean or Ang Christou on half back flank....a long goal kicking Bryan Quirk on the Wing....a gutsy Garry Crane on the other wing.....and I can hear them all shouting
But; they'd all be too slow today!........HELLO GREG WILLIAMS !!.....good players adapt.

HELLO GREG WILLIAMS is your resolution too?

Well yeah why wouldn't it be

My resolution is to just enjoy (hopefully) how we play each week, and not get so wound up about how atrociously the competition is structured and administered. I have been disappointed for many years at how fundamentally unsound the AFL is as an equitable sporting competition. The shenanigans over the last 12 months have moved me along from 'disappointment' to 'disgust'.

I will be watching a lot less football related TV from Monday to Thursday.

I just want to try and enjoy the game.

- Make the Top 4 (or be elevated from 5th after the Scum are eradicated)
- Beat the Hawks
- Pummel the Scum
- Develop our top picks so we don't become the new Richmond
- Start the wheels in motion to move to the MCG
- Get an absolute top class President lined up

- Make the old players and supporters proud in our 150th year

I just want some confidence and some toughness. I want my team to go in as favorites and I want them to be the instigators of the sledging and the niggling.

I'm sick of seeing us get pushed around and act like nice boys.....

I'd love for Murphy and Gibbs to be the elite players who have finally grown into Men and who will lead this club to good things....

I can only dream.....

What's your new year's resolution for Carlton?
