Carlton Supporters Club

The club should be encouraging that from Casboult, not discouraging it.

His issues can be fixed with or without my scenario happening. Its not one or the other.

His greatest asset besides his marking ability is his body size/shape and the physicality that brings with it.

We are not playing netball. Use that strength of his to our advantage and take out the oppositions greatest strength.
I'd take a report from him every year if it means we see that aggression out of him regularly

Quite apart from anything above, from the evidence thus far in the JLT series, we can barely clear the ball from a stoppage without turning it over. Based on this, we are so far away from worrying about rough stuff, perhaps this discussion is moot.

Yes the road to the premiership is indeed a very hard one - we don't appear to even be on it, we're on the road to somewhere else it seems?

The thing is, you cannot keep finishing last and turning over large numbers of players.

If you do your fate is sealed, because to succeed in the AFL the first thing you need is a team, and you don't form a team by turning over 1/3 of the list every post-season.

You have to show some direction to attract decent middle tier players, at the moment can someone tell me what is our direction, where is our plan?

My concern is not so much that we won't improve this year as the fact that we can't afford not to show some positive signs...because as a club we're running out of road.

The problem with the road to the premiership is that it's filled with a lot of forks.
It can be a rocky road and as we approach each fork we see that one path looks a bit rough and worn and another shiny and new.
We choose the shiny new path only to see it turn into a bog a few miles down the track.

But sometimes you have to push on through that bog a little longer to get back onto the bitumen again.

The ability to self edit is an important one on these forums.
