There's more to thge solution than filling in spots with a body. We require the talent and the availability to fill the void when Harry is in the ruck.

Not sure if Moir will 'fix' the problem this year, from what I've seen. Sure he has a good highlights reel, and kicks a goal in the VFL, but the standard of his defensive game which in Vossy's set up is a non negotiable in the forwardline, (and we will miss from Fogarty whilst he's out injured). Adding Moir may exacebate the void left by Fogarty. I think this year is a development year for Moir and expecting him to shine as an 18yo...he isnt in the same league as a No 1 pick like Reid and Walsh.

Martin can if and when he's fit. That's 5 weeks away if he can stay fit.

The 3rd banana is a hole since SOS went down and when Harry goes forward there's 2 holes imo.

Corey Durdin re-signed for 2 years.

I personally would've waited until the back-end of the season - he needs to do more IMO.

He played probably his best game vs GWS but was a complete passenger last week.

I'm OK with two years, but he needs to kick the sort of goals that he has missed the last two weeks - one in the last qtr versus GWS after Cripper extracted the ball from the centre and then the set shot start of the last qtr last week.

I reckon his other shot against Geelong, the the crumb & snap, is the one you want to see him hitting.

Massive team lifters & equally deflating for the opposition.

I’ve been watching Legends of the jumper punch and the interview with Shane Robertson was a ripper.
Robertson has been coaching in the Central Highlands league for 30 years and in his time has not seen one AFL recruiter watch a game
He reckons that many footballers he has coached and seen could of played AFL

So with that in mind why is it that AFL clubs not pay someone like Robertson who has now retired from coaching 10 grand some petrol money to watch games in that league report back to Carlton’s recruitment team in July and have one of them come and watch some earmarked players
Do that for 40 country and city comps
Would cost 400000 dollars
The club could probably pick up 2 or 3 good early 20 ‘s aged players hungry for success
I say all this with Fantasia in mind
No disrespect to him but he clearly is cooked
It is so stupid to give up a spot on our list to recruit a guy who is done
Like Fasolo
Just because their known and have played AFL

Bottom line all Victorian clubs are going to have to think outside the recruiting box with Tassie coming in

Probably because Robbo is a lunatic & the first time he gets told ‘thanks, but no thanks’ he would be shopping all of that bought IP to the rest of the comp.

At least he doesn’t live behind a mask like many in the AFL system
He admits in the interview he has [REDACTED] up

Here is the point you conveniently ignored
There are probably one hundred footballers in country and metropolitan leagues in their early 20’s who would be better than Fantasia
Williams ain’t far behind
I’be said for years they recruiters should value every spot on a list
Case in point we have 2 starting small forwards out for extended periods so Fantasia gets a game
He is done should be retired from the AFL system

Never mind 100, if you can find 10, I’ll concede the point.

I’m surprised that we resigned Durdin for 2 years, surely we could have waited until later in the year. He’s not exactly set the world alight.

We need natural, instinctive goal kickers and we have none.

Maybe we can pinch a cheap one like Butler, he wouldn’t be any worse than what we have.

Jesse Motlop could be described as a natural, instinctive goal kicker.

even then, could you ever see motlop doing some of the things we saw last night from kozzie or stengle, or fritsch? even bobby hill's goal against us was something i'm not sure any of our forwards are capable of - and it turned out that kick was the final margin. so it costs us ...

i miss eddie. lol

We got Fantasia as insurance. He'd being running around in the VFL, likely as not to never play a senior game if we had a reasonably fit list, but here we are. Having said that, after last week I'd rather see just about anyone else on the list get a run before him.

Kennedy should have played before him and others.
Problem is our coach is tunnelled into having the extra small forward on the bench and losing the extra mid/forward option throughout the game.

Given he can’t get a game at the Bulldogs, would Lobb be a decent option?

Offers a lot more forward than Pittonet. We could run he and TDK without losing forward presence

He's on big coin

Maybe the Dogs will pay some of it to have him off the books.

We need cover for both ruck and forward, he provides both.

My trauma therapist would be on big coin if we recruited Lobb
