Paul Roos on foxsports "carlton have blown their premiership window"
Some may argue what premiership window
.
The only bluebagger with a wry smile tonight will be Ratten. Carlton are worse than when he was coach.
Judd's best years are behind him; he now looks slow and can't carry the side anymore.
McLean is another slow workhorse.
Gibbs as a No.1 draft pick hasn't come on and doesn't impact games. Flying under the criticism radar when compared to Jack Watts.
Yarran can only do cameos. Pick 6 used on a sub lol.
Waite is still injury prone.
Backline can be easily exposed for lack of height once you get Henderson's opponent to sit in the goalsquare so Henderson can't play 3rd man up.
Midfield was totally torn to shreds from the 20 minute mark of the first quarter onwards.
Forward line still has no genuine key forwards.
Carlton are still relying on the same names they did 4-5 years ago. This senior core has continually failed as a collective group - Scotland is 32, Waite 30, Carrazzo 29, Simpson 29, Judd 29, Walker 27, McLean 27, Jamison 27, Betts 26, Armfield 26. There's hardly any classy youth coming through. As the core group is getting older, their lack of depth is being more and more exposed. Aside from Kreuzer, Murphy (shouldn't have played last night) and Henderson, who are the future Blue 200-gamers?
