Don't worry guys, l know what the game plan is and the boys are getting well educated on the around the boundary line game plan this off season according to the Hun.
A good quote was that Carlton the last two years have the highest % of using the boundary.
But with the education of the younger players, we won't miss a beat.
So for the people that actually think this will be turned around, forget it. Blues might make finals this year with such an easy draw, but we are going no where as a club until he goes.
Around the boundary line is the only way this guys know how to coach for the last 35 years and it won't change.
Malthouse fans are obviously around the boundary line game plan fans. A game plan that gets ripped apart in the modern game against the top teams.
Carlton 2025
It's ripped apart by the top teams because they are...... THE TOP @#$%&! TEAMS. Although I think we're on the up, WE ARE NOT A TOP @#$%&! TEAM.
I don't see why playing around the boundary is inferior to running in waves as Port do, or chipping the ball around by foot like Hawthorn do. Or locking the ball into a rolling maul like Sydney do. They are all successful because they are a) talented, b) have a high work rate and c) play as a team.
As long as the players buy into the game plan, and the coaches implement the game plan correctly and tweak it as necessary depending on match-ups and opposition game plans, I don't see a problem.
