I am more than sure we can, but may require some shrewed trading and drafting that many supporters may not like.

We need to go hard for Caddy & Boak. We need to go hard for a KPF.

I'd love to know how they can be snared, but I don't get paid top coin by the club to make these trades happen.

Aren't we hard against the cap? Boak, Cloak or anyone else would have to be a pipedream at this stage.

Our only avenue to upgrade this squad is through trades. Kreuzer and his degenerative hips might still have some value?

I wonder if there is any chance we could lure malthouse to play a bomber Thompson is to Herd role for Ratts? If we're sticking with Ratten, he needs a quality staff around him who can whisper plans B, C and D into his ear during the course of a game.

Maybe even enlighten him as to what a forward 50 structure might look like too.

SHould have some room in cap after the broom sweeps through Warnock Mclean Russell Bower Thornton

Hard to say because I can only guesstimate what the wages are and whether larger contracts are front and back loaded. i.e Judds.
But looking at the above seems there is approx ~$1.2 mln freed up

why r kreuzers hips degenerative???

cos dr larkin says???

Forgive me mods if there is already a similar thread but I couldn't find one.
In all the current gloom, the one thing that gives me a semblance of joy is the fact that out of the filth, scum and Blues, we have waited the longest since our last flag and still head the list of grand finals won.
Yes Collingwood may equal us this year, but I really hope they don't have any left in them for a long, long time.
As for Essendon*, they are credited with 2 of their flags because they finished on top at the end of seasons with no finals played.
Carlton overtook these clubs in the space of 20 years winning 7 flags to these two having none between 68 and 87.
Hopefully we have hit bottom this year and can go past them from this point on.
Go Blues.

Think you need re-read your GF history. Specifically the years 1984 and 1985.

Other than that, the thought of the Pies joining us on 16 has me bothered too. The thought that someone else could get to 17 before us equally so.

Our superior GF record has been one of the shining lights to help me through the dark times.

We, Carlton supporters are like a collective of old Greek Men, convincing themselves that the Greek Empire is comparable to Modern America or Upcoming China......OUR TIME IS FINISHED. WE ARE NOT ON THE SAME LEVEL AS COLLINGWOOD AND Essendon*. THEY HAVE AN ORGANISATIONAL PLATFORM THAT CAN DELIVER SUSTAINED SUCCESS AND DELIVER PREMIERSHIP 17. Meanwhile we are still building out of stone and celebrating the discovery of philosophy and the mass production of sun dials.

IF WE HUMBLY FACED OUR PREDICAMENT AND CONFRONTED THE HARDWORK AHEAD OF US LIKE A DEVELOPING CLUB (GWS OR GOLDCOAST), WE MIGHT GET SOMEWHERE
