What about the 10 years before that?

Only interested in recent history.

There's a lot to overcome. Half the list has only been around for a short time though. Could be bad or good.

Meaty discussion this culture stuff.

Yes, right to point out as some have that 'culture' must get buy in from every section of the club, including the Board. Which means Board Members, yes you, need to up your game as well. If the players squabbled and got into factions on the field as you do behind closed doors, we'd be cactus for an eternity. Get on the same page, leave your egos in the car park... or FO and make way for someone who loves the club and not the sound of their own voice.

Looks to me that Trigg and Presidente understand this and are making positive moves to turn the good ship PP around and away from past mistakes and toward strategies that work in today's environment/realities. And thus far JB has also shown he's bought into this and is prepared to steer a vastly improved culture in his area of responsibility. But this will take time.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

I don't want to turn this into another Malthouse discussion but I think Barker is focused on team success whereas Malthouse was more focused on himself.

Getting the playing group (and the Board, coaching staff, etc) to put team success first is essential if we are to be really competitive.

Brad Walsh has been elevated and Gibbs on to the long term injury list. I'd say he'll debut this week.



Walsh goes all right, he doesn't look anything special but neither did Nick Graham, not that I'm suggesting that Graham will be the next Diesel Williams.
We need to try as many of these young blokes as we can, if they show a glimpse or two then persevere, if not then cut them before we waste time like we have in the past.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Great...I'm already on the bandwagon and be nice for him to debut at home...

Rowe, Dochety and Walsh in...

Wood, Gibbs and Armys arm out...Wood is unlucky given Rowe didnt do much in the NB's and Sandilands needs two genuine ruckman to work in tandem against him..

yeah, strange call on the ruck department. Fields gets another go.

Very strange omitting Wood. Me thinks a late change may eventuate, or maybe it's going to piss down rain?

Have to admit, I love an Elwood smokey so looking forward to seeing Walsh debut.

Edit: Was WA captain in the Under 18 Championships! Impressive CV.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Hard to believe it's already round 16 huh? Remember Freo were all the rage for the first 7-8 rounds, boy how much have they dropped off? Pity we have so many out.

Wood has been a warrior this year but he has been struggling to jump off the ground in recent weeks so he would be uncompetitive against the big bloke. I am content to see Rowe and/or Levi providing relief for Kreuzer.

That is pretty accurate. He struggled last week against Hampson. But the, so did Kreuzer.
Wood will be back, but he does need to get some form and confidence up. Much better chance of doing that against Casey than against Freo.
