Season 2010: Carlton

Gone is the Fev.  And if you remove the playing side of things, you'd say thats gotta be a good thing.

Juddy has been coming under a lil pressure lately though eh?  People pointing at him, pointing at West Coast re Couz, Gardiner, Kerr etc then pointing at the Blues re Fev, Betts, etc etc... hmmm.  Juddy = Strong Leader.  Not.  Of course he is a handy player but clearly not a captain.

The Blues will NOT be any better this year.  Simple.  Last year they told us they were coming.  They came, they saw, they were maudlin.  This year they ask us to smell what they are cooking.  I can smell it and it reeks of a team that is going nowhere.  They recruited Brock McLean.  Yay.  He adds precisely zero.  Never rated him, so another spot goes to a MOR player while they could have got a kid into the team.  Him aside, the Blues do have a good midfield of course - Juddy, Gibbs, Murphy.  Kruezer going between the ruck and forward line.    But every team in the Top 8 has a good midfield.  It's the second level of players that's lacking at the Blues, and when you mix in the clear lack of discipline and a coach with ears the size of plates,  well... it adds up to another disappointing season for the Blues.

Expected Finish: 10-14
