Carlton Supporters Club

Another abysmal display. It  was embarrassing.  They were alternating between 17 and 16 players on the ground in the last and actually looked prepared to run more while our blokes were happy to job around chasing arse. So many passengers still getting a game due to our lack of depth.
Oh and thanks to the umps for really driving the dagger in. Pathetic display.

I've changed my mind.
I think we'll now ask and receive one.
GC will get one too.
The AFL have to step in because these results affect the brand.
Good tight contests all weekend would have had them excited.... and now Carlton and GC step in and spoil the week.
Something will have to happen regarding free agency too.
We cant continue to have the best players going to the top clubs or this vast gap that already exists between top and bottom will grow even wider.

His time may well be up, but that's not relevant to the discussion. 18 Sam Rowes are not not better than 12 Josh Kellys.

Absolutely we will get one.
Where is the question. 19 won’t make a lot of difference.
9 would be handy.
2 would be great but will not happen.

Free agency is easy to fix, the club receiving the players should give up a draft pick, not the balance of the competition.

That's it in a nutshell.
Even allowing for our injuries, and they are significant, our list is paper thin and still needs major work, no team can carry so many sub standard players into a game against a good side and expect to be competitive.
We'll pick up one top class player at this year's draft which will help but we're still half a dozen short.
The next two years will be the biggest test of our recrukting.

Kelly has great support, you look at Kennedy and Lang today and they are not up to it vs decent opposition, Cripps tried hard and Dow showed he has the goods when he has the footy and breaks away but its slim picking after that....when you have Obrien having to pick up Tomlinson on the wing its not a contest anymore.

I don't understand how we can ask for one after the CEO came out and categorically stated we will not ask. I look forward to hearing him explain his way out of that.

He should be sacked for saying but that’s a whole other issue.
Whether he said it or not, the AFL can’t keep this facade up. There is nothing even about the competition and in the last 6-8 years they have made it less so.

Their running power was on display for all to see today. Kelly is jet, 3, 8 and 2 don't go to bad either.

Yep...we looked really slow, no run from the backline and Whitfield really carved us up breaking the lines....that kid can really play and his disposal on the run is some of the best I have seen.
