Look, i can understand the impatience as we haven't had any real success in 15 years, but we are starting again.
I must admit i am a sore loser and as impatient as the next bloke but we need to give these guys time to develop.
Losing Kreuzer and Daisy really hurt.
MK is a bull in form that really adds that extra grunt mid to give Cripps, Murph and Gibbs a chop out.
Daisy even though he is grossly overpaid (not his fault), cant kick over a jam tin anymore, and lacks a yard of pace is still an experienced senior player who directs traffic and is only viewed by all us experts as a list clogger. His role in the team is important for the young blokes IMO. I hope they are both back in next week.
Polson, SPS, Pickett and Fisher all have elite speed and skill sets and will complement the bull Cripps in years to come.
Williamson is a jet. Could be anything but i think he will be another big quick mid once he builds his tank.
C. Curnow had 19 touches and 8 marks. Impressed with his game (his 10th) just in case anyone forgot.
Marchbank, Plowman and Macreadie and Docherty form the nucleus of a superior backline for 10+ years.
Matty Wright. Will probably play another 5 years with us but i'd love to see him back to his old role of high half forward. Played on a wing because Daisy was out.
My god if Weitering got some decent F50 entries he would be clunking a few but our mids are moving it too damn slow allowing defensive structures to be set up in our F50. If he was getting some decent delivery he could kick 40 goals plus. But it takes time.
We need to be patient as much as it hurts watching us get pantsed, we really need this new young brigade to play 50 games together as a unit. Then things will start to happen.
This is our first true re-build in how long?? This is a new Carlton and we are going to experience many ups and downs.
Buckle up your seat belts and enjoy the ride people.
