Carlton Supporters Club

Are we really on Puffing Billy?

Here are some of my review findings:

Liddle stays, seems to have a grasp
Teague stays, another two years
Power stays, development is one of our biggest problems and I believe he at least has a clue.
Austin and crew stay, recruiting will get better


GONESKY

Lloyd, Head of Football. Not up to it..
Bruce, Amos and Stanton goodbye. Not good enough…
Under serious pressure is -
High performance Team - not convinced we are fit or strong enough


Now for the new crew:

Football Manager:
Leppiesch (tiger experience)
Tom Harley (head hunt)
Mark Neeld (no nonsense)
Bomber Sheldon (bleeds blue and has the experience)

Asst Coaches:
Adrian Hickmont (head hunt doing good things in the west)
Matthew Scarlett (defence)
Eddie if he retires (mentor. Forwards)
Simmo. Harford, Krues, Fraser,
ANYONE WHO HAS HAD SUCCESS AS A MIDFIELD COACH

The Teague Train is more the little engine that could.  " I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..."


Under no circumstances can Amos leave.

Why? Its one of our worst lines at the minute.

Our defense has been holding up admirably under what I would consider overwhelming weight of entries.

Teams literally setup to create seperation in order to quell their ability to get across and help each other.

We arent exactly chock full of talented, tough, hard defenders, and our opposition arent exactly able to score at will (when they do, its because of the way it comes in, rather than the way the defense structures).

I tend to agree. Back 6 isn’t as bad as many are making out.  Some of Ryan’s goals (aside from the hanger!), Geoff southby, rod austin, Bruce Doull and sos rolled into one wouldn’t have stopped.    It’s the ball walking out of the guts or out of the fwd line that is the issue

I wouldn't bet on that, your talking about 2 (some might say 3) of the best defenders to walk the Earth.

Add in the fact that the ball wouldn't have got down there in the first place.

Ryan is a strong mark and needs a strong player in the air on him, none of our smaller defenders are great above their head and
he needs to be bodied up and not allowed free passage leading or jumping.
I dont blame Stocker it was a coaching debacle IMO and if thats a sample of Amos at work then he needs firing out the door with Barker...help cost us the game and damaged a young kid in the process...your quite Brilliant Dale Amos/David Teague.

Media opinion seems to have Ross Lyon coaching Collingwood and Clarkson being the new coach at Carlton..
Lyons friendship with SOS ruling him out at Carlton. I watched Footy Class tonight and IMHO Lyon is ready to coach again.
