Robert Heatley Stand / Re: RD 16 : Carlton v St Kilda (Pre-game Chatter)
Gee I am really hoping for a very big win this week - something that makes a HUUUUGE statement that the CFC is BAAACK! Something to get the adrenaline pumping again.

Our collective enthusiasm and what's left of our optimism has all but been been destroyed this past week and I getting depressed by reading anything to do with our club atm.

If we lose again this week I think I will be putting my cue in the rack until next year and just hoping we can make the right start on fixing up the list over the off-season.  :(

It is very disheartening! We have an excessive number of players who’s lack of development and years on our list have been of great detriment to the on-field fortunes of our team. We have drafted poorly, developed badly and been below-par with our list management decisions.

I was thinking about adding Watson but he seems to have been lumped by Mick in the “never to play again category” ala Laids and Duigan.
As for McCarthy and Mitchell, if the NB reports are anything to go by, there are a pair of KP selections that will be added to the long list of flops over the last 10+ years!

This week's team will at least indicate which players such as those you've posted are earmarked to go. Maybe Laidler is not among them having heard about the recent knee pin removal story - he might come back eventually.

Culture building must be the priority and so we must field our best available and performing 22 for each remaining game. Play guys who show something in the VFL as and when they do e.g. Watson this week. or when injuries open up a spot.

I'm sure that MM has a pretty good idea of who will go/stay by now and doesn't need too much further "experimentation" with team selection.
