Young brigade committed to shaping the destiny of Carlton

At least we've got some decent young leaders coming who'll peak together after seeing that list of kids and reading Luke's comments.

Interesting comments, but I'm not sure whether I agree with the comments that Kennedy hasn't starred beause we don't get the ball in there enough times.

How many forward entries do we need before you drop Deluca?

Quote:
"We want to give our young kids opportunities and we have the youngest side in the competition in terms of experience anyway," he said. "But it is not just about playing kids for the sake of it. They have really got to earn a bit of it.

"We want to make sure we continue to develop the best we possibly can — it is not just about playing the young kids it is about developing them."

Quote:
"Josh has done wonderfully well but the last thing you want to do is heap expectation on him," Pagan said.

"He didn't join in until just before the season, he had a major shoulder reconstruction, he wasn't able to do any competitive work until the home and away season was upon us.

"He has played nine games, it is very hard when you've got the least amount of (forward 50 metre) entries to come out as an 18-year-old and expect to be dominant.

"If you'd said to me when he got his shoulder operated on that he would play 15 games for the year, you would have been over the moon.

"He has played nine (games), I don't know how many he'll end up with, but sometimes sitting on the bench, not getting a lot of game time, the ball not coming in as you'd like; sometimes it is better to go back, have four quarters of football and be the main target.

"It is all about the apprenticeship and doing what is best for Josh Kennedy."

Quote:
"He has been really good to us and he looks after the young blokes," Blackwell said.

I agree with the article comments. The kid had major shoulder surgery and missed the pre-season as a result. I've seen enough of Kennedy to know he will be good and am patient enough to wait till next year for a bigger role by Josh when he has a full pre-season under his belt. I also hope that Hartlett can get over his injuries.

it seems like all these young players have in a way made a pact to each other that they are going to take this club forward the way blackwell spoke was as if all our young players are commmitted and determined to stick with each other and push us forward, hope they dont lose this enthusiasm and hope they all get the reward with at least 1 premiership.

Pagan's methods get the nod from the young brigade as well. "He has been really good to us and he looks after the young blokes," Blackwell said.

Fantastic - now can we just sign up Russell, Simpson, Hartlett, and Blacwell.

"We want to make sure we continue to develop the best we possibly can — it is not just about playing the young kids it is about developing them."

i feel that this just about sums it upand why pagan is still the right man to be coaching carlton. as it isnt just about playing the kids its about developing them.
pagan made the right choices in terms of simpson, walker and blackwell and knew when they were ready and when they would be able to make an impact and what was best for thier develpment. pagan is experienced as it gets in terms of coaching underage footy and is the perfect coach to be in charge in this rebuilding stage as he will be the best to aid and develop the next young group ie. hartlett, bower
