I'm telling you now, there is NO CHANCE of Carrazzo being dropped. Ratten loves him too much.
Spot on 100%.
Carrazzo has never been dropped in the time Ratten has been coach, despite some poor performances, by our "Suppossed" leadership group player.
Even when he collects 30+ touches, most of the time 50% go to the opposition.
By continuosly selecting players of this ilk, we will always be a mediocre team at best, and just making up the numbers in finals.
The Home and Away season itself these days, require highly skilled players, in order to beat Zones. In Finals the reqirement of High skilled players goes up a notch, as the intensity rises as well as the skills (due to the best Teams only competing). For Carlton to go to the next level and make the Top 4, we need to weed out players of Carrazzo's poor skill level.
Considering that Carrazzo has been playing AFL since 2004, under 2 different Senior coaches and numourous Assistant Coaches, and still turns the ball over suggests that the saying's; "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" and You can't change a leopards strips", are spot on the money. This is proven to be the case with Carrazzo, therefore he is a liability, rather than an asset to the team.
Answer this question?
Will Carrazzo be in the leadership group at any of the Top 4 sides?
My answer is; "He'll be lucky to get a senior game, let alone be in the leadership group".
Therefore I believe Carrazzo is only guaranteed a game every week because Ratten loves him.
Give Carrotts his due, his training and work ethic in preparation has obviously been first class and made a huge impression on others which has seen him elevated to leadership roles. If you think of the unprofessionalism surrounding him since his arrival it's little wonder he's currently seen in a positive light by the coaches.
In saying that, I can't find room in the 22 for him.
