Carlton Supporters Club

OK, so i got bored waiting for stuff to happen, so i did this exercise most have done plenty of times before.

Pick your best team.

....and pick your next best team....your 2nds.

Now we still have a few spots on our list, so i limited it to 18 each, which also allows you to fill your bench with the best of the second lot.
FWIW, I didn't include any rookies (well, not good enough anyway) and i didn't include Byrne because....well he's barely a Carlton player at this point in time.

I think everyone else fits in there nicely....even with the 2 new additions McGovern and Fasolo.

Yes, Walsh and Setterfield are likely too, but we'll wait for that to through first

What have i got wrong? What would you do different??

Dont know the make up just yet but the ones in red I have moved on from and dont form part of the puzzle for me. They are either delisted or play in the 2s to come in if the injury list is out of control.

I reckon Kerridge has been much maligned.

His disposal has improved markedly, he is a good size and he runs for 4 quarters.....

I hope he retains a spot. And then may the best bloke get a game!

Admit he was a smidge better with his disposal in the last few games I saw him play FB but he would have to demonstrate that on a very consistent basis to turn my opinion of him around. If he could though it would be a very handy outcome for us as he is big bodied, attacks the ball and the opposition and does keep running.

Forward line looks a bit slow and lumbering, Fisher the only one there who woul apply decent forward pressure

Agree..I'd have Pickett starting if fit...50/50 on Fasalo too, good mark but not quick or defensively minded....maybe on the bench for him.
I think leg speed will still be an issue, McGovern, Setterfield and Fasalo adds more talent and firepower but makes us slower..
I know I'll be bagged for saying it but Wingard is that type of mid sized mobile smart X factor player we need.....McAdam might have provided similar...

+1

Garlett and Lang the only ones who can change my opinion.

EB I know its cherry picked but have a look at his highlights package on the website. Fas might not have pure leg speed, but have a look how quick he is at gathering, summing up the situation and having a ping. Obviously, we need to get him fit and he needs to get hungry.

I'd be more impressed if he had a couple of tackles in that video.

Still he scores goals.  I'm not convinced that Wright would be better than him (Wright might work harder but fasolo has more tricks).

The day is coming fast where Daisy and Simmo's days are numbered (which we all knew)....

I much prefer Wright.
