You left out Murphy, Gibbs, Kreuzer and Simpson lods. They too are part of the base. And possibly Yarran as well. Add a free agent or two. Weitering or Scache plus another early second rounder. SOS and Rice. Any draft pick we get from Hendo the spud. Pick up a good player via the preseason draft. It can all turn around very quickly.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Murphy Gibbs Kreuzer are given
Simpson cant have too many seasons left the way he gets battered about.
I'll stand kicking to death if Yarran is still on our list next year.

I'm not discounting we'll improve....What I'm not sure about is whether players like Gibbs and Murphy will still be around when we're challenging.

Probably not Murph, possibly Gibbs. Definitely Kreuzer (hopefully).

We need to get as many Carlton people on the list as possibly, because only these blokes will have the passion and the drive to get us up the ladder. It's about more than a pay cheque for players like Buckley (and dare I say it Robbo). That's why Rice and SOS are a must, we need more players with the same drive as Dylan Buckley. Players that will love our club unconditionally like Robbo (dare I say it).

Maybe I'm the pessimist now...A year is a long time in footy :) but.....

Cripps, Menzel, Buckley, Levi, Jaksh, Graham, Doc,
Maybe Clem, Hollman, BB, Whiley, Walsh Fields and DVR

This great base is speculative at best.

I see a bit of potential in most of those players.
Fields has a nice kick.....but if we're setting him up as someone to build a team around (which is what a base is)  I'll need to see a bit more.
Your base has to be guaranteed best 22 every game.

I suspect we'll be talking about getting rid of half of that group this time next year
Spot on, we made a similar mistake with Watson, thought he was the new corner stone of our defence , and look where that is now. Half those , haven't shown any where near enough to be considered a "base" .

We made the mistake of never playing Watson. He will without doubt go elsewhere and become a player.

Could be but its seems strange in these times he is one where we thought he would have got that game time, but maybe his papers are already stamped? Agree he hasn't had the best time around. But he has only show a few good games , but seems to be remembered for his kicking and the game at the end of the  season where he kicked a few goals. He has been around for a long time

Watson  might kick a few somewhere else .... perhaps with his mates at Airport West or Keilor or something like that, but it won't be at this Carlton next year.

The little I saw looked like a club keen to play versus a mob of players barely going through the motions waiting for the season to end... considering the soft draw we scored this year to end up with so few wins is downright embarrassing.  If we were half serious we'd beat the bears, Dees etc, but 10 goal thrashings?  I just don't see how such results benefit the club going forwards.

I'd like to know why our recruiters went after Matty Dick ... because I just don't see it.  Already this draft is kind of looking like the 2010 wipe-out, except that the 2014 draft was decent.  Our recruiters could fall into a barrel of strawberries and come up with a pebble.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I would say Bolton is about a lock for the job now.

Cripps has bigger set shot issues than Casboult. At least Cas has penetration and it was more a accuracy and technique issue, Cripps can't get any penetration and thus shanks them all because he has to try to hard to make the distance.

Barker has well and truly lost me and if Abdy McKay has anything to do with that then he needs to go as well.

I posted in another thread that McKay took over in October 2011. Steven Icke was 2007-2011.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

Back to Pascoe Vale is my best guess.

I have seen this before.

In 1964, our Centenary year, we finished 10th. It was the lowest our club had ever been.

In 1965, they went and got Barrasi, and in 68, we won the flag. And in 70, and 72 etc.



All of this was pre draft and salary cap, as was buying in Kernahan, Bradley, Motley and Dorotich in the one year.
It's infinitely more difficult now, at best you can recruit three good footballers a year and we've continually failed to do even that.

Bombers will be looking for some warm bodies next year. He'll make up the potential AA Bombers backline with Gwilt.
