We recruited Kennedy to play that role and he can't get a game ahead of blokes like O'Brien. Said it last year, O'Brien is not up to it and another high draft pick blown.
Charlie Curnow must've read all the hype because at the moment he's not worth having out there, albeit the ball didn't obviously get down there much yesterday. Thankfully I basked in the glow of the election victory and didn't want to dampen that mood by watching us get blown away yesterday which was a dead certainty. Give Curnow a run in the twos and give Kerr a crack at it....if Kerr's not up to it then get rid of him rather than clog up the list
4 years into a rebuild and we sit on the bottom of the ladder...again! It's looking highly likely we've blown the number 1 draft pick next year as well. Agree on the earlier comments about Goddard. Why get him into the club and then when your full-back goes down, don't even pick him despite being BOG in the twos a couple of weeks back and they have 3 big forwards!
We have far too many blokes that are injured all the time.....guys like Kennedy, Marchbank, Cunningham, Kreuzer, Phillips.
The mantra was 4 years of drafting kids and then load up with trades and free agents. Who in their right mind would want to come and play with Carlton as a Free Agent unless their sole reason was $$$ before retirement. It irks me to see someone like Mitch Robinson playing superb footy for Brisbane and using his body as a battering ram at every contest and we just don't have anyone remotely close to being able to play that role.
The club is on it's knees and simply can't continue on like this. It might've been offensive from Eddie but someone should be making a call to Clarkson's manager and just asking the question.
Would be interested to know why Cuners didn't play?
Kennedy is fit, O'Brien is BB's present love child seemingly.
Again, we were putrid because the midfield went totally, abjectly missing....can't blame the back line.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
