    And totally unoriginal, using exactly the same language that Goody and the players used

    Easier said than done. If it were easy everyone would have done it by now.

    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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
