Carlton Supporters Club

Carlton: 7 - 8 - 50
Adelaide: 3 - 5 - 23

First time we've beaten Adelaide for quite a while.
We kept them scoreless in the last!

exactly was. a long time ago.

Has he forgotten how to play?

As i said, i'm not suggesting he is better than Florent.
I'm not suggesting Charleson is better than Florent......or Ollie Hollands.

But given the contract that we gave Florent....years and $'s....does he offer us that much more than the others. Could that money be better used elsewhere given his age on top of that?

Put it this way.....Recruiting someone like Marshall would improve our side (like Florent) but is there a long term benefit to that?
Would that recruitment simply keep Reidy and Riley from getting a game.....potentially Pittonet as well.....to the point where another club could poach him leaving us worse off long term.
Similar to what is happening with Ollie Hollands now, asking him to look elsewhere.
So its possible to be a good addition, that is not really in our best interests long term.

Could we potentially have banked the Florent $'s and throw them at King to really fill a hole? Or perhaps Butters who has more football left.

Good to see Weiters making obvious efforts to adapt his usual game to the offensive nuances required in how our defense operates now.

Short memory @Baggers‍.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but wasn't it about this time last year Weiters was lauded for an attacking kick out of D50 that secured us a late win? I think at the time the media describe it as either a kick nobody else was prepared to take on, or nobody else in D50 was capable of executing.

He is often the person who distributes the footy from the HBF, the one of a few with the responsibility for that type of kick, now in addition to Newman he has someone like Florent to share it with!

What stuns me is how people manage to see things so differently subject to the outcome, a win versus a loss. The most important type of analysis in sport is the analysis delivered cold!
