Do we have the least number of left footers on our list in the AFL?
I count 5 on the list.

As of right now round one vs Richmond

Touhy Rowe plowman
Simo weitering doc
Kerridge Cripps curnow (taging swapping with murph if he is tagging a player in the centre bounce)
Daisy jacks walker
Everitt casboult sumner (if fit)
Kreuz murph Gibbs
Bucks graham whiley boekhurst

This is with our seeing any exposed pre season form eg Charlie curnow might kill the nan challenge and force his way in. Same with Byrne Sheehan ect ect

Rowe over Jaminson?

jamisons efforts were woeful last year, gave up on a lot of contests. Not what i wanna see with a young backline around him

He's an opinion of our best 22 on the AFL site.

Carlton will be the club of opportunity in 2016 so trying to pick a best 22 is fraught with danger. The Blues have brought in 14 new players via trades, delisted free agency and the drafts and will be keen to blood as many of them as possible. However, I have only found room for four 'newbies' in the best 22 – former Giant Lachie Plowman, ex-Crows Sam Kerridge and Matthew Wright and No.1 draft pick Jacob Weitering. Nonetheless, Jed Lamb and Liam Sumner should also enjoy extended senior opportunities, while draftees Harry McKay, Charlie Curnow and David Cuningham will probably be blooded at some stage. I have named Matthew Kreuzer as the sole ruckman, but the Blues could play a second big man given the abolition of the substitute rule next season, which would bring Daniel Gorringe and Cameron Wood into the selection equation. Veteran midfielder Dennis Armfield is the unluckiest player to miss out and is a good chance to play regular senior football next year, while the Blues will be keen to see Kristian Jaksch force his way into the team. - Nick Bowen"

Pretty good. I can't get over why so many on here don't rate Kerridge as at least a good player!!

Braithy watched him while he was on a job. Says he's no good.

Only change I'd make is take Rowe out, put Buckley back and put Jaksch in the forward line.

Yep, agree with this and Plowman for White down back too. We're going nowhere whilst Rowey is still a tall down back. Weitering slots straight into CHB, Rowe is depth until he is delisted at year end.

No way Rowe plays instead of Jamison
Plowman a certain starter
Jaksch should play CHF

I think that illustrates how hard it's going to be to get sufficient TOG into all our developing tall forwards in the VFL. The list looks a bit unbalanced to me. One or two more mids needed. We should have found a way to pay out Jones and give Holman a one year deal.

In an imaginary world where SOSOS doesn't look like he needs a feed?

One thing that may help Rowe next year to get games is he can play forward. Kerridge will be more than handy for us and is by all reports a workhorse. He obviously has a bit of goalsense I don't think you just fluke 10 goals in 2 games (against the kangas) so he can play that role... but also is a decent run with player. Weitering should slot in to play at least a dozen games if fit and Curnow should see some game time. McKay and SOSOS probably unlikely to play year one.

There are your 3 inclusions. Matty Wright I'm not sure about though I watch a bit of the crows ( wife is a crows fan from SA) and he works hard, can play mid and has some goal sense. Not sure yet if he is in the best 22.

Breakout year? I think Boekhurst could, some have likened him to a Camporeale type.
Jaksch showed a bit last year against Brisbane. Seems to get in the right positions, needs to clunk his marks and I hope he's put on some muscle.
Buckley could take another step forward.

What can Plowman and Sumner add to the list... Can they be mostly injury free next year?

The 2 Irish Ciaran's are the wildcards...

If everything goes right how much can we improve?

Realistically where will we improve?

We had a lot of injuries last year. Our depth was the worst in the competition.

I see us, with a young core group still raw, finishing around 15-16th...

If we develop, yet at the same time play a positive brand of footy I see us having a year something like Stkilda last year.

Nothing to get overly excited about yet but little pings of excitement and hope for the future...

What do you think??...

Shows how thin we are in midfield. Don't think we're going to win many games next year. Would be very surprised if we're not last again. Having said that, still pleased with the direction we're taking. Exciting that we've finally invested in some genuinely talented kpp depth. Got good depth in rebounding defenders. Got reasonable depth in small forwards (just not sure yet about their quality). Same with our rucks. But certainly well short in genuine midfield talent. Our first rotation is strong. But pretty thin after that.

Agree re KJ, must play as a tall in our forward line this year, time for the lad to deliver.

Carlton finishes on the bottom of the ladder and bring in 14 new players...

Surely more than 3 or 4 of them will break into our best 22??
