Just come online so no quotes here.

To those suggesting Carlton is tanking a question.

Why would a team three games and percentage clear on the bottom of the ladder have any possible need to tank?

They are just poo, combination of injuries and young kids being forced to play more and longer than normally they would.

And, can't remember the last time we even got through the first half with four fit players on the bench leads to further tiredness late in games and quarters as there are less and less rotations, even acknowledged by Eddie and Dwayne today on the coverage and they are defs not Carlton lovers.

Won't say any more here because don't want to start a war or have a comment that belongs in the rant thread.

Carlton seem to have a few Ex players playing ok at other clubs, I sometimes wonder if they were a bit prematurely released but we'll see, I know all that real trade stuff is almost as complicated as supercoach!

Interesting that the VFL side only had 8 Carlton listed players and 3 of those have yet to make their AFL debut.

Long injury list doesn't help when you have to play kids who are not ready or other players who are not AFL standard.
