Carlton Supporters Club

I've got a different mentality.

Don't give anyone anything.

There is only a couple of months left in the season.

If these guys can't force their way into contention we cut out ties and move on.

You either want it or you kind of want it.

The former types are the ones we want.  The latter are not necessarily worth persevering with.

With you 100% here, 3 Leos. Though I understood the LODS logic, we only want blokes who deserve a senior spot. We want to continue building a culture of reward for excellence/attitude/intensity etc. No easy promotions. I don't give a rusty f*ck where we finish on the ladder, only that we continue to concentrate and focus on building a sustainable culture of high achievement.

200 games and Walker still doesn't have a position.

Currently without Armfield, Murphy and Boekhorst to choose from we lack run. Why not play Walker through the midfield?! Has the body and the endurance. Might teach him to play accountable football and stop trying to be a kangaroo!

Which 2nd key forward would you like to pick?

Jones who isn't the answer
Jaksch who many don't believe is the answer
...
McKay who hasn't played all year.

Walker isn't working as a potential key forward
Everitt ditto

Silvagni is given a chance but isn't

The cupboard is bare. All we have is a key forward who can't kick straight and other players who we just try and fit into the key forward role

Jaksch has a had a good VFL season and surely deserves a shot. He's kicked 20 goals this season and that includes time in defence including games of 4,4,3 and 3 goals. No sure about anyone else but he gives me the impression he's at least  ready for a shot. He's the one forward we have who will lead. Whether he's the answer or not, no guarantees I admit, time will tell, he's a key forward, who will take a man and take the pressure off Casboult. Casboult played much better when Jones was there as it allowed him to get up the ground and take marks. It's just a better structure. Casboult always plays better when he gets a run on the ball too. Problem with picking two ruckmen is they are dead useless when they are not on the ball. Defence won't take them seriously when they're resting they just go to Casboult.

Wouldnt bother with Walker in the middle....its over for us this season and I'd be more interested in seeing if Gowers can play as a mid for the future.....Walker would be out of my team this week and I wouldnt be rushing him back either unless he can light it up in the twos...

I don't give a stuff who comes in, but someone has to come in and give Casboult a chop out. I could care less if it's Jaksch or Jones...but it has to be one of them.

Casboult is being used as the outlet marking option long from kick ins, or on the wing and we wonder why he's not taking grabs in front of goal or inside 50 like he was earlier in the season...the bloke cannot be expected to do everything, plus the oppo has worked out he's the only one over 190cm that needs to be manned up!

Make shifting it with medium forwards like Walker and Everett ain't working either. Junk time goals are papering over their enormous cracks.

And while we're at it...if the coaching staff aren't telling Tuohy to keep it more simple, then they're not doing their jobs. He's trying too much and it's not coming off. In fact, he's been terrible. First instruction should be to ban that play on, stat building kick out, which invariably results in the ball coming straight back in and costing us goals!
