If there is a mitigation it would be our forward line, a 2 star reliance. Too many small forwards just not delivering. Specifically, Fantasia & small Durds. And let's not get started on our glaring need for a third taller forward. Despite the injuries I hope our selection this week is not conservative... a shake-up is needed. Fingers crossed there are a few shining lights in today's Magoos. And those who suggest TDK might be a worthwhile experiment in defense... I agree.We really need a mobile third marking option in the forward line, because banging it long to McKay and Curnow remains ultra predictable, and good teams can dry up our scoring very easily. Martin kind of covered that last year, but Owies and the other smalls are not quite up to it or strong enough overhead. I mean someone like a Fritsch, Hayward, Henry, Zac Bailey.
Maybe once we a full compliment of defenders available, we should try Brodie Kemp there?
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?
