The kid who arrived and spent his first period in AFL seniors as one of the AFL's leading intercept marks, right up there with initial ratings along the lines of Rance, or even Jones this year.
Now he's a bumbling, fumbling mess with 1/10th the confidence he had prior to our "teaching him" some lessons!
this appears our forte, turning very good players into this ^ and turning average players into complete spuds!!

Just hoping there is some method behind the madness!
Intercept marks are just one side of being a good defender. I remember Fev saying he enjoyed playing on Scarlett, as he knew he could get him - as Scarlett was good at zoning off and intercepting, but no good man on man

I prefer Weitering as a forward. Looked good last year until he was exposed by Membrey, now the blueprint is out.

Hard to blame the player for those match ups, would be different if Marchbank or Byrne was playing.

If you look at the ladder, there is four teams at the top, seven teams fighting for positions 5 to 11, three teams in the also rans, and four teams at the bottom, which include us. I thought this year we would finish at the top of the also rans, so I don't think we have achieved what I think we could have. Part of the reason for this is that Bolton at times have played games in a manner which were geared to the future rather than the present. I think we have nailed the past two drafts by getting Silvagni, Samo, McKay, Plowman, Marchbank, Weitering, Fisher, Cunningham, McCreadie, Curnow, Williamson and Pickett. I am hopeful on Polson, Phillips and Kerr and with Cripps, Docherty Byne and Jones, I think we have a pretty solid list for the future. We also have five senior professionals, Murphy Gibbs, Simpson, Kreuzer & E.Curnow. We need to nail this years draft again to really consolidate the future. There are other players on our list such as Graham, Kerridge and Lamb and maybe Smedts and Boekhurst, who could provide backup, while players like Wright, Rowe, A.Silvagni, White and Lamb will always give you 100%

Only by the idiots.
7 or 8 will be fine. Specially if we recruit like we have in the last 2 years.
We are part way through.
a genuine rebuild.
2019 should see some real improvement I rekon.
Re: Carlton 2017 - Review - Lods - 08-10-2017
Yeah
No, we're tracking well for a final about 2022 :

It appears certain that we will buy one or two top line mids, add that to organic growth, the improvement cab be rapid and significant.
No reason why a top 8 berth is out of the question in 2018.
It's all about mids, mids and mids - and Ben Saunders!
