Carlton Supporters Club

Sounds like the played Kennedy when he wasn't fit (recovered)?

We wanted to rebuild the long way so take the pain that comes with it. We all wanted the club to go to the draft and invest in kids and not take the quick fix approach. Well that sort of rebuild is slow and painful.

All those saying we need mature bodies, drop the kids and bring in Rowe, Asos, Kerridge etc make me laugh.

Then next week we will hear why are we playing those sorts, their slow, their spuds and not part of our future and why not get games into the kids

Weitering, SPS, Charlie, Cunningham, Fisher, Dow, Kennedy etc I’m very confident will all make it but give them time guys FFS.

We are 2 years and 3 games into this. No where near enough time to be so dramatic about performances like tonight.

. The problem as I see it is twofold :
1. the process of moving the ball to where we want it is inefficient and error filled (turnovers, missed handballs etc.) This needs to be cleaned up asap.
2. Once the ball is where we want it, it comes out far too quickly. Translation ? Lack of defensive pressure in the F50. This also needs to be fixed asap. 

I get the play youth thing, but I don't think Polson or Dow for that matter, are ready for AFL. Particularly in the absence of a core of quality players. I'm also unconvinced Kennedy was ready to return. 

At this point Mullet gets a no from me. Lamb gives too little and burns his teammates. I know our injuries are taking a toll leaving limited options.

Garlett played with intensity again. He'll be a player when he's built his tank a bit more. Little Zac was hard at it again. What's with those guerillas slamming his head into the turf. Commentary was nauseating saying how caring Sidebottom was after doing just that 

Casbolt was one of our best. I thought he was going to kick 5 there for a while. I'll settle for 4 though. He was ok in the ruck against a very good ruckman. I got excited when he threw his weight around too. Haven't seen stats but he certainly wrapped his big paws around a few pies. If not technically a tackle, would be enough to spook the ballhandler.

Charlie, Crippa, Simmo, MK, and Murph were solid IMO.  Samo didn't seem to be able to get into the game but persisted. Shame that Marchy was injured - hope it's not serious. Jonesy worked hard but looked lost when the smaller guys were forward.  I thought Weiters did everything to get himself back into it physically but struggled a bit with decision making.

Lots of work to do - not so much to work with.
Hopefully there's some others who can step up and hold their own.

Like last week a bit of the recent history CFC turned up - timid/introverted leadership which cascaded down through the group.
