I reckon a forward line of Chuck-Harry with one of Kemp and McF can work provided (1) we start delivering the ball properly and (2) we get some blokes at their feet that can clean up the scraps and (3) all forwards fight to keep the ball in - here's looking at you Chuck.  The reasoning being that that is a big forward line and would seriously extended most defences - but they must be on the same page effort wise and we have to deliver the pill efficiently.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Naughton as Prof said is on big bucks and  is unreliable kicking for goal. With Jamara  probably on the way out I'd expect Naughton to be a required player to pair with Darcy.
We need to get a Mihocek, cheap, reliable, and effective. If you want to have good smalls then you need good bigs who can work with them and be unselfish and that's why Elliott, Hill etc at Collingwood prosper with a FF who is prepared to support his teammates.
Fair enough about Aaron. Who are the names that could be those types of players? Oscar Allen maybe? With Morris doing so well at Brissie, could Allen be worth a shot. Scored 53 goal just two years ago. I'm not so sure about him but just throwing names out there.

Quite a good analysis in this article imo.   
GW has a lot of work in front of him,   whether that plan will include MV or not, we have to wait and see but I'm sure we will see big changes in the next few months.   I think the next 6 weeks will mostly determine whether he stays or goes.

BR, Allen has been offered six years at Brisbane on decent money and lacks a bit of intensity imo for the contest.
Brisbane can have him for that type of contract, as I said Id be looking at cheaper options who can provide a bit more teamwork down forward and be creative as well as kick a few goals themselves.

Most players would lack appetite with that mob. Just hoping we're seriously speaking to other players. They haven't addressed the midfield issues which would likely mean they were happy with the list. Jagga wasn't the instant remedy and now we're paying for it. Seems obvious from the outside and maybe they have tried without luck but it certainly doesn't look like it which infuriates me.

If our List Management thought a thin first year kid was the solution to all their problems then they need to be shown the door. We sold the farm to get him and maybe getting injured saved the poor kid from having to shoulder a lot of responsibility and expectation. Hopefully he has used his time to build the body up and when he gets back can ease himself in quietly and not be phased by having to be another Navy Blue messiah that has to be the next Nick Daicos which is what some will be expecting.
I wouldnt be pinning too much hope on our List management group addressing our problems, the club seem to be in denial about
our poor season ...

King is spot on, bullied by Nth and zero response, the look on the coaches face at the end of that spray he gave was enough for me. Just sheer frustration at the lack of effort and care, as King suggested when talking about our history we had some pride in  pulling on the jumper and backing your mates was a non negotiable expectation,  now its a lottery what your going to get from week to week. The supporters are backing this club with record memberships and good attendance but its the leaders and players who need to be walking away and thinking what they can do for the long suffering supporters and the poor coach who looks defeated.

Add Miles Bergman and do a number on SOS for Wanganeen Milera.

Add Newy back into the team ASAP.

Financially thriving, spiritually bankrupt. The marketing team should make that the slogan for 2026. Disgusting vision from the leaders, good on Vossy for tearing them a new one. Pretty sure a few started crying when he walked away and dobbed him in for yelling at them.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Am I the only one that doesn’t really think Xerri did anything and TDK just slid into the fence?

Also, seeing the ‘expert footy commentator’ journos all coming at us makes me feel more screw them than anything else! With the OTT amount of footy shows on now they’re all yelling over each other about our problems and baying for blood.  I am really hoping we can turn this around
And sort it out and not give the media what they want.

Which by the way, the over saturation of all these hawking ex footy players on these shows has made me turn off all of them - the amount of shows now is just purely ridiculous.

*not saying we don’t have problems just  saying these overblown windbag ex footy media people now are just loving this 😒

Oh good Mathieson has entered the chat…

‘Carlton need a complete overhaul of their football department after their shock loss to North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday put their 2025 season on life support, according to club financial backer Bruce Mathieson.

The outspoken critic slammed the list saying the club were once again five years away from having real success and said he could not point to one player under the age 25 who was an A-grader.’

Ok, I'm listening. You could mount an argument Walsh is A grade but not on recent form. The rest of the 25s and under are no where near it.
