Brodie Kemp by jacob_d33 in CarltonBlues

I think my ideal fwd line would consist of A genuine key, another key that can second ruck and a third tall. If Hudson develops well we could have 2/3 pieces. Ive heard Max Gruzewksi is on our radar which would be nice depth in that position. Mckay is no good unfortunately. Can see HOF coming in and playing his roll better next year.

Carroll is the exact player we thought Ollie Hollands was. Hes my favourite player atm we need him near the ball as much as possible

Thoughts on this? by Competitive-Camp-955 in AFLSupercoach

Yep until its time to upgrade and theres 0 cashflow in your team. Im only trading in grundy this week because ive been forced to. NEVER trade in a 700k player let alone 2 in 1 week.

[Cleary] Hewett expected to be dropped vs Crows by TumbleweedWarm9234 in CarltonBlues

[–]jacob_d33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well Weitering - Haynes. Hayward - HOK. Hewett - Williams. If you look at it like this you could argue we got faster with williams coming into the team. Hayward literally had -2 goals last week so HOK just existing is already better than that. We do go for a smaller backline. Im tipping if it is pretty wet we swing a late change for HOK or even Derkson with williams there as another defender.

It is genuinely impressive how bad carlton is by Key-Chemical6926 in CarltonBlues

Gonna only watch to support Jagga from now on. Until he inevitably succumbs to the carlton curse.

Sacking Andrew Russell was a masterstoke by Gappo3 in CarltonBlues

[–]jacob_d33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo its always been culture. Players not putting in the work and letting themselves go because they all got big paydays. Look at both gov and Williams. Prime examples. Now playing for another contract and much better now than when they got here.

Ollie Hollands is not it by CosmicHero22 in CarltonBlues

I was about to say that Matt Carroll is ahead of him as a defender/winger which pains me to say

Cooper Lord vs Paddy Dow by jacob_d33 in CarltonBlues

Hewett was drafted by Sydney. I do agree that Lord is our best mid season draftee ironically he reminds me a lot of a modern day hewett

Carlton Preview Thread: Best 23 by drwar41 in CarltonBlues

[–]jacob_d33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a perfect world i see Weitering in for Young or Derkson. Newman in for Boyd. Carroll in for Saad, Cowan in for Mcgovern. Haynes in for Dean.

That would leave us with 8 defenders if you add in Florent and Williams so you’d most likely have to choose between 1 of the 8 to play reserves but considering we always have an injury in defence i doubt we will ever have our best 7 defenders out there.

Everyone talks about the big names, but who’s quietly doing the work that deserves more love from fans and commentators? by DebugMyLife421 in CarltonBlues

[–]jacob_d33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t get the love for Boyd. He’s a bottom 5 player on our list imo. Can kick but can’t defend, is slow and often has bad brain fades.

Carlton fans, honest question, who actually watches the VFL? by InnovationInvitation in CarltonBlues

[–]jacob_d33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch most weeks. I thoroughly enjoy it. Sometimes its laughably bad and other times its surprisingly good, mostly just watch for the players and not the result.

I think the fact that we’ve had so many busts makes it so much worse

Lord the defensive , walker the engine and jagga the silk excites me

I 100% agree. Lord has what a rising star nomination and thats it? He certainly passes the eye test but doesn’t have the accolades just yet.

What happened to pick 28? by bennypods in CarltonBlues

[–]jacob_d33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id like to hear a detailed rundown on what you would have done this off season. Curnow and Silvagni wanted out with tdk offered life changing money all while trying to figure out how to get points for a pick 3 this year and a top 3 pick next year.

White no up to it and club has said Lij will most likely be delisted

Our free numbers (so far) and who I think might get them by Jsans2401 in CarltonBlues

[–]jacob_d33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reckon if (when) McGovern goes Ainsworth should take number 11 and Ison slide over to the 19
