VFL 2019 Rd 9: Northern Blues vs. The Drug Cheats at Windy Hill
#21
No wonder so many of the senior fringe players sleep easy at night.
Nothing coming up to push them out.

Polson, O’Brien, Garlett, McCreadie, lebois, lobbe not even reserve grade let alone pushing for seniors.

4 years into full rebuild - would expect to have some depth by now.

i think losing Tom Wilson was a big, big loss for the 2s....

And we have a fair few out overall eg Simmo, Murph, the new kid from Subiaco, Jones etc. Even Pickett &Doc... it all adds up.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

This is a real concern. There is absolutely  nothing in the 2s.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

Worse than that, we played against a squad that was 50% full of top ups!

Watch 5min mark in the in dispute in the centre of ground in third quarter. Disgusting.

Too lacomic and lazy and club must cut its loses with these sorts. Polson is harder but has no skill set and no clue at all.

Enough patience shown. Enough chances.

I thought the same at the time. I would never play him again after watching that.

Absolutely, no desire from him at any stage during his Carlton career
