Carlton 2017 - Review

[Blue Moon]

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%
