Carlton have had more ups and downs than a mountain stage of the Tour de France. Brendon Bolton slipped in and hey presto it all changed,but did it? Has it.
Just where are the Blues at right now.
They have a list with a few players for the future. Weitering, Cripps,Silvagni. But also have a few who must be doubtful for the future.
Some of their stars have yet to prove to me that they can carry a tea, as has been proven in the past.Players like Murphy, Kruezer,Gibbs,Curnow, Armfield,Everitt,Thomas, Casboult and maybe a few others have been around a while and have not been able to lead them anywhere.
They lose their leader in Simpson at seasons end, so the others will have to step up and become more accountable if they want to succeed.
They have show at times that they can match it with most clubs, but just how close are they going to be at the beginning of the new season.
Will there be some that will be traded.The Neeshies have plenty that they can trade, and I am sure that there are Victorian players there who would welcome a return home.
I guess we will se just what effect Boltons style of coaching has on this list next year.Will the gloss have begun to fall f, or can he keep it nice and shiny.
Maybe the blues will hang a round for a few more years yet.
