Blue4Life reckons Gibbs would have walked at the end of 2018. I don't think that's how the scenario would have worked. Gibbs has been very committed to Carlton, more than some on this site were committed to him. I think an extension would have been added to his contract so we would have kept a strong bargaining position. Losing Gibbs and Docherty is a big blow. Basically we have lost two of our best five players from 2017 so our progress will be hampered. I think we have recruited well whereby we have broadened our depth of players who will be able to make a regular contribution this year and improve the teams output, but lost a bit at the front end of our player group.
what I want is for us to better against Brisbane, North Melbourne, Gold Coast and Fremantle, who were down with us, as well as Collingwood and Hawthorn who I cannot see improving. If we can get a few more wins against these sides, get some wins against the mid range sides, St.Kilda, Melbourne, WCE, Essendon, and maybe win a couple against the better clubs, we may get 7 to 10 wins for the seasons.
That is my outcome expectations, what my process expectations is more goals, better and more consistent performance by those who have been on our list for a couple of seasons, a bit more flow in our game and no games where we are uncompetitive.
