    And so it begins.

    Our players will be lauded as Superstars. We will become the hunted. Everyone will want what we have and try to replicate our game plan.

    A simple one two hand pass between Petracca and Oliver will be called incredible by commentators.

    Salem will be lauded as the best kick in the league every time he gets the ball. Even when he missed one it will be a rare miss.

    Are you saying there is a problem with this? The boys should start bottling their urine, they can sell it as champagne 😁

    It is possible with Cook as CEO but they are kidding themselves if they think it’ll happen over a preseason.

    They have a much better list than we did in 2014 when Roosy took over. We however started an organizational facelift from that year onwards. We brought in Roosy’s Sydney assistants. We rejigged our football department. We started learning a new game plan and defensive fundamentals. Us becoming ‘selfless’ was merely the final cherry on top after we had spent the last 7 years making the sundae. Richmond and Geelong’s breakthrough teams were no different.

    If they think they’ll just snap their fingers and become a premiership team, they will be demonstrating exactly why they have failed from 2014 onwards.

    Certainly is!

    Wait till they do the player profiles for this year's draft prospects. We'll probably start seeing the "plays like.... " line, and it'll be one of our guys!

    But its true anyway.  - Just now will be rcognised.

    "Carlton" and "selfless" don't belong in the same sentence.

    Cripps to defensive wing 

    I think Cripps should be a top five player in the AFL, however he as optimised “trying to do it all himself” for too long now.

    If Carlton get things right they could jump up the ladder pretty quickly with their list.

  • Quote

    Can't wait to see guys like Williams, Martin & McGovern talking about selflessness and team first cultures as they pocket half of Carlton's salary cap between them.

    That said, there is enough talent on Carlton's list that they should be playing finals next year.

    A lot depends on Cripps. Shades of Trengove - lost mobility. Against MFC this year, couldn't or wouldn't kick. Other than Walsh, nothing else in the mids.

    They have a good spine, but Jones is overrated as a defender (interceptor only).

    In passing, Coniglio seems to have the Trengove effect as well.

  • Quote

    I'll probably be corrected but regardless of the list, I don't think many coaches have taken over and got to a flag straight away - it usually takes years for players to learn a new gamestyle and for the coach to tweak the list to implement it.

    Scott is an exception but they had already won a few flags.  Bevo maybe the other exception - except McCartney had laid the ground work with a number of their young players.  Could we say Teague has done the same?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
