Why is it negative to say it will be very hard to replace any of the top 5 sides. They finished at least 3 games clear and apart from Geelong are all younger than us. That is realistic. That is fact. Maybe we just sit around holding hands and say how good we are because we arent allowed to be realistic. What a lot of crap. I will continue to post realistic stuff and you can continue to hold hands and let others say how good we are. Lets not even discuss our side. Lets just say we will win the flag afterall we known for winnings flags.PJ wrote:Your predictions are negative not realistic...they never have been and never will be.

You said impossible to remove them from the top 4 like it is factual, it is an opinion based on some idea that only Lenny and Roo can have any benefit to the team. I didn't realize that the only way you can win is by having young players. Maybe you should hold hands more often and stop holding yourself.plugger66 wrote:Why is it negative to say it will be very hard to replace any of the top 5 sides.

I never said it like fact at all. i explained why it would be hard. Interesting point though you bring up as you seem to be arguing with yourself. You say that I said our improvement will come from only Lenny and Rooy but then you say I said the only way you can improve is having young players. Which is it? Please explain yourself. Strange very strange.gringo wrote:You said impossible to remove them from the top 4 like it is factual, it is an opinion based on some idea that only Lenny and Roo can have any benefit to the team.

And how dare people choose to give reasons why it will hard to improve. As I said maybe we just hold hands and sing lovely little songs together. Wouldnt it be a great site if we all just said plus one all the time.satchmo wrote:How dare you people express any optimism!

And of course you havent said anything realistic or negative this season. The pots kettles and blacks are taking over.

It's always hard to improve. Yet every year some teams do.
No need for me to say anything negative. That angle is well and truly covered.And of course you havent said anything realistic or negative this season.

I still think we need to have one last shot. As I have said will be hard to get into the top 4 but not impossible even though some seem to think I have said that. We need a lot of luck and a couple other sides no such luck. We need Rooy and lenny fit and a better start to the year from Joey and BJ. Also need continued improvement from Jack and Ben. Als need Gilbert to get back close to his best and finally and maybe most importantly a tweak in the game plan. Not to much but just a lightly diffeent game plan.SaintPav wrote:Begs the question, do we rebuild now then or do we have one last shot?plugger66 wrote:And how dare people choose to give reasons why it will hard to improve.

Well, you could easily be right about us (or not) but I remain of the view that Carlton is not likely to overtake any of the 4 PF teams next year.plugger66 wrote:The problem is they finished about 3 games ahead of us. Why would they drop down. There are young side with plenty of upside. We are old side hoping 2 injured players can at least get us 3 extra wins and that being Lenny and Rooy. If you were looking from the outside we cant possibly pass any of the top 5 sides.meher baba wrote:+2 to what Richter said, except I'm a sceptic about Carlton's potential to go much higher. They remind me of the Bombers towards the end of Sheedy's reign: some great players, can beat anyone on their day, but generally a few seconds off the pace.
