I feel that a couple of people here need to barrack for the tigers.
If anyone thought this was going to be a one year/one draft rebuild doesnt understand what position we started from.
Long road ahead however we have already started our new core group, and finally have a modern game plan. We actually have a list manager, and we are trying to recruit for the game plan instead of recruiting "best talent" with no plan at all other than to save a coaches career. These are my positives.
Lets all agree that we know we have a long way to go.
It could be far worse. We could be in richmonds shoes and think we are good enough to win a flag lol. They remind me of us not long back.
When I played footy and we did a training drill whereby you kicked to a leading forward - if you kicked it behind them you dropped and did 50. You got over that mistake pretty fast...
Its a new era Professer, its the old argument of athletic ability and beep tests vs good old footy nouse and skill.
I wonder if Sam Mitchell did a good beep test?
I play vets AFL 9s and we have heaps of run with our younger teammates. We got pumped the other night by a team of dads that could easily hit a beer can from 50 meters away. It was magic to watch. (all ex WAFL players of course)
Be Aware! There has been an unexplained theft. One of the greatest thefts since the great train robbery.
Target = Finals Spot Crew = See below Probability of coming off = 500/1 long shot Place = Football Park
Charged for aiding and abetting is 1 James Hird of Essendon for stupidity (exit the finals) 2 Andrew Dimitriou for god complex and over-reaction (kicking them out of the finals) 3 Mathew Broadbent for inaccuracy with 25 seconds on the clock 4 The Port Adelaide football club for letting a 37 point deficit deep in the third quarter go against an opposition that had 276 disposals vs 365. 5 The umpires for awarding 18 free kicks to 13 dispite Carlton being second to the ball all day 6 Richmond football club for being the only top 8 team Carlton could beat
In a bold showing, and after numerous failed attempts, The Carlton Football Club has got away with the prized booty of a finals spot.
