Season over as regards finals!
Wins are no longer important!     Will Carlton now play more youth? 
Expose  Ben & Lucas Camporeale,  Harry Charleson to AFL football.
More games also to Flynn Young  and Harry Boyd (still okay in my mind).  
Then of course one or more of rucks Flynn Riley  and HOK need to play.
Season is unover (that a word...haha) after Essendon beat GWS.

Yes you a right Laj, after today's result season is not quite over for the Blues ! 
Baggers was also was telling me not to put up the white flag yet!

Still hope coaches will gradually feed some of these kids into the five matches left in the main season.

Hate the thought that we will see likes of Ben & Lucas Camporeale running around in Port or Adelaide colours for years to come without having been well tried at AFL level by us.

Kemp is a good kick for goal generally.
He had a terrible patch earlier this year but that's not the norm.

Even with that terrible patch, he's better than McKay who has won a Coleman.

Make him the 3rd tall.
Get mids who can kick
Kemp is no longer a 'problem'

Inclined to agree. . Kemp is one Carlton forward prepared to lead for the ball. Just needs to keep working on his kicking for goal.

In the AFL we have lost our most effective in and under player in George Hewett (Cripps aside) and with finals nearly out of reach, perhaps time to give Ben Campo his try at AFL level.
Hopefully this year we will give all the young untried AFL listed players a couple of games and not repeat what we did with Harry Lemmey.   
 ie. Ben and Lucas  Camporeale, Harry Charleson.
