When your 8 year old son says were rubbish you really don't have much to come back with. I'm afraid he is correct. Juddy may say differently, and I do respect what he says, but yesterday was heartless, planless and pointless. If our guys were playing for the jumper, not themselves, then we are in real trouble.

Specifically, he said that during his time at Carlton he felt at times that there were a number of players that were not driven for team success and were more focused on individual success and were playing for their next contract - he suggested that it is different now, albeit that we lack talent in the 21-24 year old age bracket.
Juddy still selling hope. Unfortunately, it's a cornballer he's selling and no one is buying

Clear the board of former sticks swan supporters
keep trigger and the judge
remove mick and his assistants and do an independent selection committee recommending to the president of a suite of best candidates
remove mckay and Prendergast and replace with the best
remove the medical staff and replace with the best
get another top flight rectuiter to assist sos
build a new 44 player list
build a new fully integrated carlton reserves with a new coach
keep the carlton brand
Eggleston does not sit in the coaches box
Start the clock at zero and lets reload again...

The president must go too he's been a part of it, and who knows whose tentacles are wrapped around him

Either the coaches don't have a clue, or the players simply don't listen and/or obey.
Not good enough !!
Jones had a go in the 1st qtr, but needs a tank, he is not AFL standard, I'd rather play Watson.
I like Armfield, he plays with more heart, than most. His speed is useful.
I like Ellard, but he is not an AFL standard footballer, we desperately need a better quality small forward in this years draft.
I thought Rowe did as good as could be expected against Cloke. Even on days when he is beaten, at least you know that Rowe will always give you 100% effort.
We need about 4 more Cripps and Dochertys out there playing, they are 2 of only too few who go out and play with any pride or passion.
Wood is a better 2nd ruck than Casboult.
I really can't tell if it's poor coaching, or a lack of respect and coachability on the players behalf, but there is something terribly wrong down at Carlton and until the president and board get it all sorted out, the future is looking pretty bleak for the Navy Blues.
Replace one guy without a tank with one who lacks a tank and any acceleration?

thats a good point and ideally everyone should go, but I know it sounds inconsistent but from what I see the judge is a 20 year carltonian.. unlike the blow ins that were parachuted on the board...he is the real deal from what I see. that said if there is a new better person that puts his hand up,,,they all go...
One thing is sure and certain we haven't got a forward's bootlace.
If you cant kick goals you don't win football games.

This was one of my biggest concerns during the off season.
I was hoping we could do a poor man's version of what the Pies did last night - having multiple goal kickers, many of whom are not specialist forwards. Has not panned out thus far.
