Round 20: Carlton vs Brisbane Post Game Pain

[Robblues]

Could be but its seems strange in these times he is one where we thought he would have got that game time, but maybe his papers are already stamped? Agree he hasn't had the best time around. But he has only show a few good games , but seems to be remembered for his kicking and the game at the end of the  season where he kicked a few goals. He has been around for a long time

[Professer E]

Watson  might kick a few somewhere else .... perhaps with his mates at Airport West or Keilor or something like that, but it won't be at this Carlton next year.

The little I saw looked like a club keen to play versus a mob of players barely going through the motions waiting for the season to end... considering the soft draw we scored this year to end up with so few wins is downright embarrassing.  If we were half serious we'd beat the bears, Dees etc, but 10 goal thrashings?  I just don't see how such results benefit the club going forwards.

I'd like to know why our recruiters went after Matty Dick ... because I just don't see it.  Already this draft is kind of looking like the 2010 wipe-out, except that the 2014 draft was decent.  Our recruiters could fall into a barrel of strawberries and come up with a pebble.

Completely agree with this.

Haha, Robbo 33 touches, 15 tackles, 7 clearances. Still happy he's not at the club ruining our culture Murph? Just sayin.....

Robbo looked keener than most last night.....we need some Robbo types to harden us up...

[Jean-Claude]

I would say Bolton is about a lock for the job now.

Cripps has bigger set shot issues than Casboult. At least Cas has penetration and it was more a accuracy and technique issue, Cripps can't get any penetration and thus shanks them all because he has to try to hard to make the distance.

Barker has well and truly lost me and if Abdy McKay has anything to do with that then he needs to go as well.

I posted in another thread that McKay took over in October 2011. Steven Icke was 2007-2011.

We made the mistake of never playing Watson. He will without doubt go elsewhere and become a player.

Back to Pascoe Vale is my best guess.

I have seen this before.

In 1964, our Centenary year, we finished 10th. It was the lowest our club had ever been.

In 1965, they went and got Barrasi, and in 68, we won the flag. And in 70, and 72 etc.

All of this was pre draft and salary cap, as was buying in Kernahan, Bradley, Motley and Dorotich in the one year.
It's infinitely more difficult now, at best you can recruit three good footballers a year and we've continually failed to do even that.

Back to Pascoe Vale is my best guess.

Bombers will be looking for some warm bodies next year. He'll make up the potential AA Bombers backline with Gwilt.
