Rd 4: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs. Western Bulldogs

[LP]

Let's not underplay Kreuzer's shocking efforts up forward too.....

What do you expect from a ruckmen, he is a ruckmen isn't he?

Here's another scenario for you, could it be that thousands of members have finally had enough and/or simply fatigued by it all. Winning will help but I suspect many want to see if the club is genuine about it - i.e. they don't trust them any more (Malthouse was the last straw after Rattan). The recruiting nightmare of the last 15 or more years has nothing to do with Bolton, neither did the poor to non existent development of players.

Carlton either gets this right or hands back the keys. For mine it's Bolton or bust.

We're now on Rebuild Road and there's no going back. We have GOT to find our way along it with BB at the steering wheel, helped by SOS supplying the crew. From what I saw tonight I have faith we'll be successful - at this stage I'm not even contemplating failure at all.

you've read the situation at the minute incorrectly.
The results are meaningless at this juncture. The endeavor, development, and willingness to commit from the younger
players is everything. That is happening. The board realize now the hard way. There is no quick fix.
This coach is building a bond with the new generation, some fkwit on the executive breaks that, im really done with this club , and so will about 30k members

Kerridge needs to hit the scoreboard like he did in the NAB.

He certainly is NOT a forward

[RiverRat]

Buckley's a worry in terms of where to play him. Is it good enough to hold down a position if your main role is merely to "harass"?


.

No.

Buckley is better suited as a running defender - Sumner showed much more defensive and physical pressure than Buckley and kicked a couple of goals too.

I feel that a couple of people here need to barrack for the tigers.

If anyone thought this was going to be a one year/one draft rebuild doesnt understand what position we started from.

Long road ahead however we have already started our new core group, and finally have a modern game plan. We actually have a list manager, and we are trying to recruit for the game plan instead  of recruiting "best talent" with no plan at all other than to save a coaches career. These are my positives.

Lets all agree that we know we have a long way to go.

It could be far worse. We could be in richmonds shoes and think we are good enough to win a flag lol. They remind me of us not long back.

Buckley is a running defender, not a forward. Is there a role down back for him? If not he's in trouble and he would be fast losing confidence as well.

Sumner has a harder edge than I thought he had. And boy, didn't Plowman show some class towards the end there.

As a footy club supporter and member is there any other way other than to be optimistic Fluffy one?  ???
