Re: Rd 20: Pre Game Anticipation: Carlton vs St Kilda

I was referring to the list as a whole DJC. There are no doubt some talented players and some individuals who will no doubt improve further. However, taken as a whole I do not think it is capable of becoming premiership material, by a long way, without the injection of some serious talent particularly in the area you have mentioned, plus a good KPF. We have seen now two or three performances that have shown we are really pushing the envelope of our team's ability, for which they all should be applauded, but.....enter SOS.
I don't agree Cookie. Even with our obvious deficiencies we have been competitive against top 4 teams, our disposal efficiency has skyrocketed and were executing the coach's plans pretty well. As Trigg's email says;
. . . there are metrics that indicate strong effort and a game style/method that will put us in good shape for the future, as well as measurable evidence of learning.
Informed drafting and some judicious trades to bolster the midfield and add depth and we'll be flying
PS I'd like to know what the "metrics" are
