Kerridge?


Kerridge really improved last season. A lot cleaner hands after a shaky Melbourne game, better decision making and cleaner disposal.

Tough too, can take a hit.

Agree.

How Stephen Silvagni has helped drag Carlton’s list out of a deep dark black hole
Jon Ralph is obsessed with us right now wrote:
IT is the recruiting black hole that could have brought Carlton to its knees.

Eight years of drafting and trading that secured the Blues a collection of list cloggers, draft busts and the odd star.

Fittingly, when all else failed they turned to a club legend with the nickname “SOS”.

Carlton needed saving and in just two trade and draft cycles, list boss Stephen Silvagni has done extremely well to begin turning the ship around.

And yet Carlton’s latest bout of delistings this week laid bare the dramatic extent of the list overhaul.

The Blues have turned over 64 players in five years, effectively turning over their entire list one and a half times in that period.

***********

So how far is Carlton away from surging up the charts?

The defence is clearly the strongest line, with Jones, Jacob Weitering, Marchbank, Kade Simpson, Sam Docherty and Sam Rowe all mixing and matching.

Gibbs’ departure leaves the midfield a little thin, but if Matthew Kreuzer, Patrick Cripps, Marc Murphy, Kennedy, Ed Curnow, Petreveski-Seton, Lang and Kerridge stay fit it is at least building in momentum.

The front six is clearly the line in most need of patience, with Harry McKay a two-gamer, Curnow a freak who still needs time and Levi Casboult’s best year in footy still only bringing 34 goals.

With two more successful drafts this will be a list Blues fans believe is going places.

I am shocked. A half decent positive article about Carlton.

Still backhanded though.

Mullett will do a much better job running the wings and making play than Boekhurst could. Upgrade.

He played a bit in the midfield this year.

If not as a rebounding back he may add to midfield as an outside mid/ wing.

Not sure if I'd have him play as a rebounding HB.
I've seen him lose a few one on one contests.


My initial thinking is Mullett to a wing, Williamson at half-back but those two could interchange a bit - both left-footers so couldn't see tham both in defence together especially with Simpson still there. Longer term Mullett might be the Simpson replacement.

Spoke with a recruiter from another club this morning. Has big doubts about Mullett. Says he has the physical attributes but a very poor decision maker which was his understanding why North let him go.. We will see.

Just what we need.

A half back flanker who is a poor decision maker and who was rejected by a club with a worse list than ours. :razz:

As a Boekhorst replacement - longer kick, tougher, more versatile, comparable pace, gets more of it - how not an upgrade?

Coming from such a low base it is an improvement but how much is still to be seen.

I haven't seen a club recruiter say a positive thing about an opposition recruiter's decision yet. :fight:

I thought this summed up our offseason so far

Blue and Silver wrote:
So far in this offseason we have managed essentially the following trade offs:

Gibbs>Kennedy
Armfield>Lang
Buckley>Mullett
Gorringe>Lobbe
Boekhorst> Pick 3
Jaksch > Pick 10
Smedts> Pick 30
Palmer> Pick 73
White> Rookie Pick 3
Korcheck> Rookie Pick 21
Gallucci> Rookie Pick 39
Sumner > Rookie Pick 57
Sheehan > Cat B Rookie?

While we obviously lose the Gibbs> Kennedy trade off in the immediate future, we will presumably win it in the long run (more games out of Kennedy).

Armfield had some real high impact games but was on the slide, I'd back lang to improve on his output.

Dylan couldn't get a game at AFL level, Mullett should be a step up.

Gorringe couldn't ruck, could run. Lobbe can ruck, can mark, can play.

Then we get to Boekhorst, Jaksch, Smedts and Palmer for the draft picks. While potentially Boekhorst might have produced more at AFL level than a draftee in 2018, I doubt it.

I am suggesting that we will take 1 more rookie this year rather than use the main list spot, although I wouldn't be surprised by Hartung if that came about.

I think we are looking for a new Cat B rookie to take Sheehan's spot.

They need a new arrow symbol, looks like they are suggesting Boekhurst is better than pick 3

Being a delisted free agent you're certainly not getting perfection. You take them with all their faults.
