Cripps looks well ahead of him, went at pick 13 and is a year younger, I think we should have used pick 7 instead of trading it.
With our drafting history we probably would have picked another dud though.
Mid will always be ahead early. He'll go ok. Young bloke can panic a little in defence. Being thrown into the key position under immense pressure mistakes will be made. If he turns out good, which I think he will eventually, the other two players are then a bonus.
The temptation of 3 good players (hopefully) was a good one for the loss of no picks. Just a drop of 12 places. If you're any good you can easily get a good player at pick 19 if your recruiting is any good.

Yeah, but ours isn't.
Grigg, Hampson, Watson, Bootsma, Bower and Hartlett all went around pick 20, but so did Fyfe.
We could have still stuffed up pick 7 but our chances would have been better.
Re: Rnd 6 Carlton v Brisbane-post mortem - Professer E - 05-10-2015
Walker.... putrid. Should never play in defence ever again.
Touhy... ditto. Gave away a heap of goals with stupid mistakes and poor positioning.
Gibbs... did he play today?
Buckley ... convinced he won't make it unless he can change his body shape dramatically. Light players are a liability, especially close to goal in defence.
As for Jones... the worlds greatest athlete... trained the house down.... blah blah blah.... can't catch a cold and burns the few chances he gets. My nomination for the worst player I have since in CFC colours since 1970.

My first and probably last game for the year. Awful, awful, bl00dy awful!
The only thing I can say is there is only one way to go from where we are ATM.

Is John Barker our "forwards" coach?
What does he actually do, then?
Re: Rnd 6 Carlton v Brisbane-post mortem - Mantis - 05-10-2015
Wow, what can I say about this game.
Walker needs to be traded and won't go for much. He can't defend today at all.
Touhy was close to the standard of Walker today.
Jaksch didn't do well and has disposal issues.
Rowe his good buddy in defence was just as poor with disposal.
Levi gave us a chance and did convert.
Jones, get this piece of sh1t as far away from the club as you can. He is a useless footy player.
Buckley needs more size and strength. Doesn't give up but not strong enough.
Murphy and Gibbs need to have more impact. More score on the board from them. Stats are not enough.
Judd has had his best years go by. While one of our best, he needs to retire.
Thomas has been the biggest waste of money for this club. While he still has time, I won't hold my breath.
Cripps is a player we need to be patient with. He will be genuine and we can't afford to lose him.
Boekhorst shows signs and he needs to back his ability.
Armfield tries hard and wasn't terrible today.
Curnow worked fairly well, but isn't complete elite and never will be.
Bell was a solid performer today. He is a keeper. I like this kid.
Docherty is by far the best player we have by a country mile.
We just played the worst side in the league. Were up in front for most of the game and found a way to lose. Skills by both side was as poor as I have seen for a few seasons. If we lost to Brisbane who had to travel, then how bad is our side ? We now need to play GWS, Geelong, Sydney and Adelaide before we get a break and rest. We look certain to be 1-9. Really ?? 1-9. We couldn't tank better if we tried. I thought I had shame for the club for the loss against the Pies. Then I hear the boys had early morning sessions during the week to wake up this match and show us what they have. They showed very little to nothing. Against a side that has the worst forward structure in the league. Along with the weakest defence going around. There isn't another side we could possibly beat. Not with the sh1t that is running around in Navy at the moment. We have one genuine player. One. No more. Well I should add Bell to make that 2. What a day I decided to give up glue sniffing ?? :

I'm genuinely surprised at how quickly the game has gone past Gibbs, Walker, and Murphy.
Sometime in the last 10 years 'outside' players became extinct. Nowadays, there is no such thing as an outside player. The pressure is too relentless and all pervasive.
Bell and Cripps were shining lights today. Mind you, it's mid-winter northern hemisphere dark at the moment at CFC. The game has passed by our highest paid players, but the real worry is that we've gone from Australia's most successful sporting team to a club on the brink in only 15 years.
I used to laugh at posts predicting the demise of Carlton. Now I'm not so sure.

No, he is the backline coach. Green is our forwards coach :

Watching the Blues is excruciating.
Kick short.
Mark.
Stop, go back.....Hesitate.....Umpire; "(Play on!)"..
Hurried short kick to a contest....turnover!
There is no MOMENTUM. No URGENCY. No running forward, hunting in packs. And no movement upfield facing the player with the ball. There should be leads EVERYWHERE...movement, movement, movement, OPTIONS EVERYWHERE, not NOWHERE
1AW, you were absolutely shocking today. Didn't give any of your intended targets a chance with any of your disposals.
