Next year could be very exciting for CFC. Obviously, a lot of people have said things like that, but this time... New coach: One of Ratten, McKenna or Voss, one would think? New captain: Stevens, one would think? New kids: We might not have pick 1, because the guys might come out to play these last six weeks under a new coach. However, pick 3 looks likely, + 18 etc or whatever we trade for. New trades: Maybe Fev, draft picks ( ![]() + Murphy being free with Stevens back, Walker refining his skills, Russell making it this year, Gibbs getting a good go in the centre, Bower coming of age, Anderson with confidence, Grigg with confidence off the half-backline, Hampson getting consistent in the VFL, Jacobs getting a run in the AFL when fit, Aisake. ![]() Austin making his debut, Jamison making his debut, McLaren, Saddington, Bannister gone, Jackson getting into the senior side for an extended period of time, Kennedy consistently kicking a few goals, Our array of athletic talls holding down set positions in the backline, Setanta being set against the gorillas, Eddie consistently crumbing well, Cloke being available, People like SCOTLAND not being certainties in the side, All together with our new dev. staff and others and new kids! Still a leadership and experience issue - Kokoda! Obviously not all of these will come true. Injuries are inevitable, and there are players that won't live up to my expectations. Still, there are some things that you can count on. Please add any other things you're looking forward too, and whatever your favourite is. |

I can't wait. Don't forget also: Pick 1: Kruezer Pick 3: Ebert/Palmer/Grimes/Cotchin Pick 19 We will be powerful again, competitive next year and powerful the next. I can feel it. Things turn around - look at the roos, cats, and pies! |

Gary Lyon might have unintenionally spoken in a prophetic sense in the Hun today, when he said to our young players : ‘Your time has arrived early, but make no mistake, it is here. As Robin Williams urged his students to do in Dead Poet's Society - Seize the day.’ Many Carlton triumphs have occurred either during or in the shadow of war. And so it will be once again in the early part of the 21st century. And during that fateful season, which will initially not appear to be anything special or remarkable at all, Carlton will improve significantly under the new young coach, especially towards the end of the home and away season - and he will bring his team to a low place in the final eight. After the final siren of the last match of that season, the fear of war that is going on at the time will be forgotten. Those that truly love Carlton – some of them will be openly weeping - with joy - for the trials which have taken up most of the first decade of the new century - will be over But there will be no shame in this display at all, for it will be as if a great liberation has occurred. They will weep tears of joy because Carlton’s great day of deliverance will have spectacularly arrived. They will have seen such footballing deeds that they have never witnessed before, and they probably will never be seen like this again. And the deeds of those brave young players and their coach will then be immortalised in the glorious history of our club. |
