Carlton

Pittonet has been in the system for 9 years and played only 50 games.....and just signed a 4 year extension.

Looks like Tom De Koning is off at years end so they had to keep Pittonet.
He’s not the worse going around.

Lobbe is still available.

The way Lycett is playing he’ll have to come off the interchange bench for you blokes

I'm quickly running out of hope. But my LAST hope is that Pittonet signed on for peanuts in order to be back up for TDK.

Yes, I know....

Carlton have 9 players on their list contracted until the end of 2026, that's 3 & 1/2 years for a quarter of your list, they seem to have a contract happy list manager keen to lock players away long term, and this is after being burnt before.

I hope he still finds time to post in the cricket thread.

Matty Primus might be a good for Carlton?

Good what?

[Armchair expert]

Paddy Dow 40 disposals 10 clearances in the VFL and doesn't get a look. While I'm not sure he is up to it you have to reward vfl form.
Papers obviously stamped, good arguement for a mid season trade period.

The Crows would think about it

Dow for McAdam

He’s been racking up those numbers in the vfl the last few weeks.
He’s a plodder though at afl level.
We have too many like him already.

He might play ruck ok, is that what you mean?

I'd rather new plodders rather than Hewett Curnow Kennedy every week

[Armchair expert]

That’s a no from me.

Two blokes likely to be delisted at the end of the year I see it as a free kick

I'd put him in and say to him, you've got the next 4-6 weeks to establish yourself. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, but at least you'll know. He's obviously good enough at VFL level and as a junior excelled. So where has this form dissipated to? He was pick 3 FFS. Give him a chance. We're allowing blokes to play ordinarily elsewhere on the list, give the kid a go!

McAdam? Really?

Dow won't be delisted, actually I take that back, we're stupid enough to do this.

[Vamos]

The Dow has been up and down ever since Covid.

Why is everyone surprised Carlton are on the fringes of the 8? Their list has some star power but falls away quickly, they simply aren't a top 4 list and the fans need to look more pragmatically at the list.

Carlton’s list is better than Essendon, crows and st Kilda IMO yet they are in the 8.
With minimal injuries we should be entrenched in the 8 not outside of it.

The club has accepted mediocrity for far too long and needs to be harder on the players when they lose.
There are players on the list earning $600-$800k who would struggle to make the 18 in most other sides.
These players need a kick up the arse to start with.
