Carlton Supporters Club

TDK would’ve signed by now if he was staying. We are not in finals contention. Why would he not be dropped for rhe remainder of the season? What are the pros and cons.

Personally I feel affronted that we put time into him and even gave his mum even a little platform
With McKays mum etc - and now he’s leaving, absolutely his prerogative to chase $500k more over 7 years but I just think he’s done so let’s move on now with others.

Also is $500k x  7 years really worth leaving Carlton? I could understand if Sts were a finals bound club but they’re not - maybe they have the young talent that’ll come thru with him…

Anyway it’s been a poor year and I’m looking forward to sorting out this crape and getting on with playing and winning footy games again!

If the players have even a morsel of respect for Vossy, they will do the job for him tomorrow night.

One has to legitimately wonder if there exists a Guinness World Records entry for lost players. The number of Carlton coaches that seem to "lose the players" is staggering, not only for the frequency with which it it occurs, but the brief time period between occurrences. Every few years, we hear about losing the players. Pagan, Malthouse, Teague, Bolton, now Voss. They don't seem to get lost at other clubs.

Acres dropped apparently

There is a difference between playing 30yo's and trading 1st round picks for them.

Nobody is saying Marshall is going to a retirement home next year, but surely people can see that his longevity compared to what else that same 1st round pick can get you elsewhere is severly different.

Let TDK walk.
Use Pittonet for a year with HOK as backup. Maybe add Riley in the off-season.
See how that goes for the year and if required, get a free agent ruck in next year.

^^Ergo, age isnt the issue which is my main contention.

Good players can play into their mid 30s
People calling  Doc to retire....I don't agree with it. He is a natural footballer that is out of form - probably not top 15 on the list but is top 25-30. If his body allows him to run, jump and crack into contests he should play on. If not then he needs to call it a day.

(What was the big Supertramp hit from 1975? Maybe that's me at this moment).
