How many players are you guys advocating for a complete overhaul trading out? I'm not entirely against the idea...I was envious of Richmond draft day last year.

Knowing us we'd screw up all our selections though :lol:


Im more keen to clear up salary cap space. Id rather not have to go to the draft more than we have to.

I see our problem started when we got Cerra and Hewitt the same year Kennedy decided to come good. Not getting Papley the year before also a problem. After the Hewitt Cerra thingo we didnt have enough money to get Amon so we got Acres. Could have been into Bobby Hill.
We were on a path to the land of meat and potato footballers while rule changes were sending the game another way. Voss had no choice but to work with what he had. Play to our strengths. For a while it worked. Until the game went to far in that other way. Here we are.

So free up some cap and have a more detailed approach to recruiting/trading and building a list to play a particular way. Our players on big contracts have a low output. We could lose half of them and not notice any difference in team performance.


If Stephen Silvagni had of bought in some meat and potato midfielders instead of his failures from 2016 to 2019 we wouldn't have felt the need to get Hewitt and Cerra. Instead we would have been after "finishers" and width players ... the pieces to the puzzle are easier once the meat and potatoes have been served.

Failure after failure after failure from 2016 to 2019 is why we find ourselves in this situation.


I'm with dada dada dada

I agree too but we had a chance to escape. Kennedy had come good. Not a great look backing out of the offeres for Hewitt and/Cerra but we didn't need both so then had to try and fit them all in. Dow was around too. Glued us to the game style that cost us. Bobby Hill and Amon for Cerra and Acres. Almost enough to shift things.

Do you seriousely think this club has learned anything from the last 25 years of Failure?

How do you think they will address the List clean up and shake up? They will simply continue to recruit Recycled players of other clubs who have either been delisted or not playing in the 1st or most likely has a long term injury but Carlton somehow thinks they are worth the risk!

I think this time everyone knows that there's no quick fix.

Fans have been just as guilty of the messiah complex over the years - Judd, the Number 1 picks Murphy Gibbs and Kreuzer, Cripps, Curnow/Harry/Weitering, Malthouse as coach. We all thought these pieces were enough and it would just happen for us.

I think even the nuffiest of nuffs are for the first time realising that this is going to be a long grind and major overhaul is needed - and anyone is expendable.

That has not changed one bit my friend. You would think Carlton Fans would have learned by now? But NO.... We have a new Messiah- a New Savior- his name is Graham Wright... that's what all Fans are crying out for.

Well guess what? He will only change things on the Surface. The Real Cancer will continue to eat the Club away. The Cancer lies directly within the Board Members. Let them continue their business ventures and Money making Machines.

One Smart Carlton fan educated me on one Fact: GW Can not touch any Board Member and can not remove nor inforce changes to the way the Board runs the Club..... hmmmmmmmmm so what's the point?

This game reminded me a bit of a game against Melbourne maybe 10 or 15 years ago. Needed to respond, went hard for first 5 mins and then collapsed

Pros:

Haynes, Williams, Hewett, Fantasia and Oli were okay.
Motlop laid 7 tackles and Charlie 5.
Flynn Young kicks the ball well.

Cons:

I thought last week confidence had reached its lowest point last week. Clearly I was wrong.
Absolutely torched by opposition speed. Especially out of the front of contests. Helped by the fact that they were allowed to throw the ball instead of handballing.
Inaccuracy and torched opportunities. Yet again. Plus opposition kicking goals out of their backsides.
Hard to believe you can have a game at AFL level where only 1 player gets over 20 possessions (Hewett got 21).
Cripps, Charlie, Weitering, TDK, Cerra, McGovern, Docherty, Acres, Fogarty, SOJ, Cincotta.
Saad's concussion.

Defender Nick Haynes’ message to his underperforming Carlton teammates on Thursday night was simple: shape up or ship out.
Haynes backed under-siege coach Voss after the Blues’ 50-point hammering at the hands of
Port, insisting the blueprint remains solid.
The veteran defender believes it’s up to the players – himself included – to execute Voss’
gameplan better and for longer. And if they can’t, then a stint in the VFL might help ram the
message home.
“We’ve played some good quarters this year, which shows the system works,” Haynes said.
“When we do, it looks exciting.
“But we haven’t been able to play that system for long enough; for four full quarters. We
definitely take onus for that and it will be our goal next week.
“And if blokes don’t do it, we’ve got plenty of young guys coming through the twos who will
play the system we want.”

The Adelaide Oval horror show came just five days after a shock eleven-point loss to North
Melbourne, putting Voss’ position under increased scrutiny.
Carlton has spent big to build a seasoned squad for the ‘now’, but the results continue to
disappoint.

Retired great Lance Franklin said during the week he doesn’t expect Voss to see out the
season, suggesting change “needs to happen, and it needs to happen ASAP”.

Haynes wasn’t having it: “You can’t target the coach on our fundamentals and consistency,”
said the 33-year-old, who joined Carlton via free agency this summer after 211 games as an
inaugural GWS Giant.
“It’s on us players to execute that… Our goal now is to play the system we’re after for four
quarters.”


Awesome to hear this from one of the players.

Why don’t we hear this from the captain or any of the “leaders”?

You just know he's a good bloke don't you . His whole aura and demeanour wreaks of good bloke . Not bad for a bogan from Frankston . Earthy and to the point . Always cops it on the chin and never squeals . Get him in the leadership group coz he's one of the few to display it at the moment .

Powerful stuff

Haynes is more than just a player.

crazy it's a player who's been here for 5 minutes setting the standard.

meanwhile the leadership group say nothing more than tired old one liners about nothing much, only the generic "stick fat guys"

I guess that shows where (one of) the problem is, entrenched player attitudes.

Make Haynes captain for next year, even if it is only one year, let him leave his mark on the club

No so silly.

I continue to value the addition of Haynes for nothing.
He's worth much more than that.
He has a mature head and understands what is required for the coach, belief in the game plan and has witnessed players executing plan well, and it looks exciting.

Putting it right on these conditional players as he should.

I'm glad people are realising some home truths about this group.

Imaging that, a player saying it's the players.
Good on him.
He clearly understands a more professional player attitude and what to expect from leaders at the club, ours still have a lot of learning to do.
For me this just re-enforces us needing a premiership player or two looking for a good end of career payout to help deliver some on-field leadership and standards.
