I wouldn't take much notice of the last 2 weeks which were like practice matches.
Agree...Nice bloke is Ken but yesterday's news in terms of coaching and I think he is best suited to any other role other than senior coaching.
Hinkley looks cooked, much like Brad Lloyd, they both look like they need a holiday.
He might do a Dimma in a year or two, but it could go the other way also.
Hinkley's last game against Carlton as a senior coach.
He can start work early on his new job.
Be an interesting test for the '$1.8m Man' against Jarrod Witts without Pit to wear him down. Not sure TDK likes the reckless big
guys.
Interesting dropping Pitto.
Not sure what the thinking is there.
Beat him last year.
Another ITK poster susequently offered that Cripps hasn't said he wants out, but rather that he is happy to go back to WA if we are doing to a full blown rebuild.
I wouldn't blame him, and unlike some other players, I wouldn't think less of him.
The reality is, if many of the changes that are speculated about take place we're not winning flags for a number of seasons.
Cripps plays a very physical game.
It's one that means he won't have too many seasons left before his output starts to diminish, or he needs a change of role.
Having endured the worst of times does he want to back up for a second helping...even a mini-rebuild.
It will take some time for any new players to jell.
He's been a warrior for us and he'll be remembered as a Carlton great whatever he decides.
He deserves to determine his own future, and if family is a priority then so be it.
He won't be letting us down because he'll be giving a bit back in terms of trade.
If on the other hand he wants to be a one club player that's fine too...but the next couple of years will likely be tough ones.
Maybe playing without the burden of captaincy would be a good idea.
He's one player we do owe.
Well said Lods, agree totally.
He's earned the right to do whatever he wants and if he does go he's not letting down the club in any way.
It's the club that's let him down.
Not getting to the footy has been Motlop's historical problem, so I think seeing him in and around many contest is a step in the right direction.We have no choice but to continue to persevere with Motlop, he is showing signs of improvement just needs a breakout game.
He's got tricks he just needs to find ways to use them, he'll get better the more opportunity he gets.
Surely nobody could argue he's not at least appearing a bit better than in the past!
Typical rubbish third quarterI'm telling ya, whatever they are doing (players, coaches the lot) in the rooms at half time is failing.
7 reporting Curnow is out, Cerra in doubt
Curnow is apparently 'sore' but with his next game being his 150th it may be the case of missing the away game and playing that milestone game in front of a home crowd (Charlie's crew and all that)
If that is the case, and it's not genuinely an injury that prevents Charlie playing, it probably signals that the result doesn't have a lot of importance and we've pulled up a bit short of the finish line.
