Clarity hit me today after the dust settled from Monday night. How are Hawthorn, Geelong, Collingwood doing ATM? The strategy is not to peak in round 7. Yes it hurts that Essendon* are flying, but werent they this time last year? Weren't the media talking top 4 for them round 7 last year? How did that work out for them? Lets judge in October how are team list, game plan, coaching staff are because I reckon maybe, just maybe we have it right.
Panic merchant arguement doesn't wash. 2007-2012....come on 120 games so far....what is your time limit?
What ideas have you got?
Here is another one you can carpet bag
Retire Scotland and make him Captain of the seconds?
Get an ex afl coach to coach Bullants?
All bullant home games to be played at Visy Park
Mirror Geelong and trade our pick between 18 & 25 for two in the 20s or one in the 20s and one in the 30s.
Consider Trading Jamieson if you get a first rounder
My point is my ideas may not be the right one but where is the momentum, lateral thinking & progression since dick left? Pick 11 for Mclean doesn't cut it. (I have to admit the Fevola deal was a good one and demonsrates the type of thinking required but that was nearly 3 years ago).
The reason for my argument is Im not convinced that we need ideas. All this nonsense goes on about game plan, Ratts and Sticks. If we play like we did against CW there is no team that can beat us. And you know what? We will bring it again in Sept. I saw a post yesterday said we cant win 2 finals with Ratts as coach. Walker gets that free V WC and guess what?
But to these points and there are some good ones
Scotland - not yet, will add great maturity and drive in Sept.
Ex AFL Coach - not bad - Gary Ayers?
Long been a believer that everything Carlton should be Navy blue, Blues, Princes Park. Simple branding. Everytime a person has contact with the club - these 3 things need to ring. Kill off Preston. If they want their own club - go for it. I believe it is $110K to have a stand alone VFL team? Simple and cheap marketing exercise. Thin list of players? Lets start getting creative and looking at best players (regardless of age) at O&M, Gippsland, SANFL, WAFL. This could be an area where we get competitive advantage. I sincerely believe that.
Trades - all depends on draft. This one being a 'Super Draft' then possible.
Jamo - good talls are rare as hens teeth. He is the rock in the back line that we build on to win a flag
