We are seeing the worst of Carlton right now. Two wins out of their last 22 matches and another gutless performance from them on Saturday afternoon against Fremantle.
Carlton are in bad shape. The fans made their voices heard at the conclusion of the first half booing the side who had registered only seven behinds and were down by 70 points to a team in the Dockers who have the worst travel record of any side this season.
Honestly this rebuild has been a failure from a pickup of recyclable players, with Andrew Phillips, Billie Smedts, Sam Kerridge, Matt Shaw, Alex Silvagni and Aaron Mullett being failures from the lot.
Matt Kennedy, Lachie Plowman and Caleb Marchbank have long term futures at the club, so does Adelaide small forward Matthew Wright. The rest of the pickups, the jury is still out on.
Jacob Weitering, Jack Silvagni and Sam Petrevski-Seton haven’t set the competition on fire like they promised. Paddy Dow and Lochie O’Brien have plenty left to learn, Harry McKay isn’t being used to his full potential and would be better off at another club if not utilised properly by the Blues.
Silvagni should be held accountable for the state of the list over the last three years, with the Blues’ favourite son compiling and putting together GWS’s list since their inception before leaving in 2015.
So much needs to be done to fix this list, at this point in time Carlton have the worst list out of any the 18 clubs. Who is to blame for this? Stephen Silvagni. Silvagni will need to be aggressive this trade period, if not I would consider firing him as list manager and send Alex and Jack with him.
It will be interesting to see if Carlton do go after players like Dylan Shiel, Rory Sloane, the McGoverns or Andrew Gaff to hopefully get some star power back into a club that is nowhere near a destination club for a lot of players.
