They're an experienced team, so it's a myth that they're a young rebuilding team. They started rebuilding at the end of last year but I don't think they ever anticipated their experienced players all playing well at the same time hence their rise up the ladder along with a relatively easy draw.duggieboy wrote:Its feaseable they could be sitting in 9th after the weekend (providing we beat Port).
But I'm tipping the "false dawn" theory, that it's just a quirk of the draw.
This has 2004 written all over it! They think they're on the rise with a new coach after some bad years but in reality they'll probably get ahead of themselves and stop rebuilding and think they've always been good and that Malthouse was the root cause of their downfall. That's the Carlton way!
