Carlton legend Greg โDieselโ Williams has boldly declared that the club will win more games than they lose in 2020.
That would mean that if the season is cut back to 17 rounds as expected, the 0-1 Blues would need to win nine of their remaining 16 games.
The dual Brownlow medallist has spent the last few years as the Blues specialist midfield coach to help develop their youngsters. He was let go by the club during the shutdown due to the financial squeeze on football departments.
Speaking on SENโs Dwayneโs World, Williams is confident that Carlton's emerging list is ready to turn the club's fortunes around.
โI think theyโve improved a lot. I really do,โ Williams said.
โI know thereโs a lot of hype at the moment about Carlton and Richmond beat them, but I think theyโll win more games than theyโll lose this year.
โI think theyโll take a pretty big step and Iโm confident that in another pre-season or two theyโll be a pretty powerful side.โ
The Blues ended last season with a 7-15 record to finish 16th.
Brendan Bolton was sacked as coach halfway through the season for David Teague, who led the team to a 6-5 record.
