If he goes to Richmond I will vomit

haha. let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Not sure why I just thought of Cartman shoving food up his butt to see if he'd poo out of his mouth when reading this.
But I did.

Not a good thought either way.

Let's not tie ourselves up in knots about something that *might* happen in two years...

Cody is in the Richmond academy. He choses them and gets there providing Richmond can match any bid.

Give me a break. All I've heard from Cody Walker is how much the Carlton mids have helped him develop his game. His family love the club. There's @#$%&! all chance of him going to Richmond.

This type of slight is alien in the more cultured part of the world - Walsh. Its up there with mad dogs, Englishmen and the midday sun!

I am guessing it is Charlie, he can see he will be asked for a pay cut and is interested in being lazy elsewhere, atm he would fit in at Essendon*

If Charlie and TDK leave and we get three first rounders we could build a good fwd line around Harry, Hudson, Lemmey and Lewis. As long we we coups on fast mids and fast/agile small forwards.

We have a List that comes with ZERO Management...


ZERO Development and below ZERO recruitment. How do they get away with it?

GWS scored 38 points from our forward half in the first 2 quarters Saturday with Young, Harry and Charlie. If we set up a forward line with that lot, they could crack the ton.

Curnow is contracted until 2029. We're desperate for class and Charlie is the one class player we have. Not to mention he accepted unders with his contract whilst several others were more intent on lining their pockets.
Some people forget the bloke is shorter than Patrick Cripps yet we consistently expect him to stand under sky balls with players much bigger than him jumping all over him. Whilst Harry is running out to the pocket chasing easy kicks, Charlie gives us a reference point in the corridor.
Yet despite enduring injuries that would finish the careers of some players, he has won 2 Coleman medals and turns up every week to get consistently smashed by 2 or 3 defenders at a time. And we're going to replace him with the poorly skilled Harry McKay and a bunch of VFL players. FMD.

you reckon he's the one pissed and wanting out from the club (from the leadership group)?

it's a bit of a lucky dip trying to guess. the voss gameplan has the ability to shorten careers with the bludgeoning attack at the contest. i could see walsh not wanting that, i could see cripps wanting to wind it all back in perth.

but also with no viable forward structure other than drop it on charlie's head in a 2 or 3 on 1 situation ... it can't be extending his career either. maybe of the whole leadership group he looks the most over it all?

No. I reckon some clown at Bigfooty is throwing darts and too many people are falling for it.
Our leadership group are all under contract. If someone wants out at the end of the year, by all means we should look at the first round picks or players offered up. Until then, it's all fantasy.
No one is irreplaceable but I wouldn't be throwing out the most talented player on our list. Change things up. Give Charlie a run in the guts. Run Harry or HOK in the ruck and give TDK a run as a midfielder. Empty the forward 50 out and run Zac Williams or TDK, or a small out of the goal square. Be imaginative. Be unpredictable. You can't change the list mid season but you can inject excitement and enthusiasm with strategic change. We get the ball inside 50 as much as anyone. It's what happens when it gets there that is the problem.
Capitalise on the strength and change the weakness. But don't stress about unsubstantiated shit that may never happen.

yeah, i agree with you. all of it.


someone said in another thread maybe the biggest loss was martin and his fitness. under voss when martin played we were a different team. his footy iq up front made everything hum.

the guys there now, couldn't rub 3 braincells all together.

Orazio has a football . Elijah also has a footy brain . If we could get these two fit and firing it would go a long way in replacing Jack Martin .

also, two guys with a history of not being able to get on the park. add williams to the list too.


it's just depressing at this point.

I didn't mean Harry, Hudson, Lemmey and Lewis all in the fwd line at the same time, I meant as list depth for tall fwd's. You'd only have 2-3 of the four playing at any one time in the fwd line, Hudson would be first or second ruck.

What I ment was it won't be a disaster if both leave, we can cover them, especially if we can somehow learn to play smarter and fix our forward 50 entries.

Is it the footy IQ of the players, or the way they are coached (or perhaps not coached) for fwd 50 entries?

Young is setup to defend in the forward line as was Kemp before him. Fogarty is there to do similar.
We are 2 forwards down offensively before we kick a ball. While all our forwards are pushing up and defending space to protect our inside midfielders or one way runners, our 2 offensive weapons are being triple teamed.
Here lies our biggest problem.

Our mids win contested ball because we have Cripps and Hewett. We need them to start carrying the ball, getting on their bike defensively and creating overlap run, or remove one and use Cerra and Walsh together more often.
Ollie was motoring at half forward / wing in the first half against GWS and then got moved. Bizarre.

Our coaches have seriously lost me currently.
